Using cable won't make much of a difference, if at all really.
It's just the way our glorious ISP is.

On PC, the network code is different than on PSN.
Which is why cable is critical.

On the PS3, it really doesn't matter that much unless your wireless range is on the low 50% or less.
I noticed no difference using cable or not when playing online on the PS3. My wireless range is between 70%-90% mostly.

If so, cable will help your router not to disconnect your PS3 every frikken' 20 seconds.

There are recond sets even after the first 6 months the PS3 was launched into the market.
So its not new at all.

And of course and obviously, recond (or I rather call it refurbished) sets do not have warranty.

Online gaming and registration to PSN has nothing to with the PS3 being new or used.
All the info you need on PSN is on the first page.

Disgaea doesn't have online play, but the latest patch adds trophy and lots of bug fixes and tweaks.
So yea, the update is kinda essential.


Theres one thing China cannot do till now for a fake DS3, and thats to put both vibration and SIXAXIS to work together correspondingly.
The triggers will not have a "squishy" feeling and you can directly tell straight that the start and select buttons are placed higher. Whats more, the PS button half the time won't work. And finally, it isn't bluetooth.

So in other words, a fake DS3/SIXAXIS is much easier to distinguish than a fake DS2/DS1.

Though there isn't much to be afraid about if you just buy the original ones.

As I've already explained, try it on games which has SIXAXIS support. If it works, 100% original no worries.

And also theres no reset button for fake DS3/SIXAXIS.
Yours have, so yours is original. I hope that clears that up for you.

1) HDMI cable problem.
2) HDMI connection is loose, re-connect and make sure it is connected firmly.

Try to exchange the cable from where you bought it from. If you have another device which can use HDMI, then try it on that too.
Theres been reports of shoddy made HDMI cables for the past few months already.

So like Vorchiel said, not uncommon to get a DOA item.

Locked 720p games will always only display in 720p.
If 720p isn't ticked as an option, the game will automatically be displayed as 480i/576i.


IINM, your account don't change regardless of your age when you first sign up onto PSN.
Only way is to change it back to master-account.

Though I may be wrong on this one, never encountered this problem yet.

Locked 720p games cannot be forced into 1080p.
It'll simply just turn into 480i/576i.

Nope, there is such thing as a sub-account since day 1.

Sub-accounts are registered by a master account, so parents can set a side a top-up budget per month for the sub-account, mainly used for the kids.

No, settings remain untouch.

1. They're more or less standard, as power cables for user-electronics needs to comply with the standards.
2. You're mistaken on this one. It doesn't matter how high the wattage is, what's important its the Volts. The power cable needs to comply with our 230v spec, which basically all cables does. It doesn't matter even if the PS3 uses 1000watts of power.
3. Read 2.

Theres a bunch of F@H guys who has been running their PS3 since its launch for 24/7 until today.... 6 months? It pales in comparison.

Ironically, one of those fellas is at Iraq.... I don't know if it is as hot here though.

Vacuuming won't do anything much if at all.
The dust is clogged up like a lump on the fan itself, vacuuming won't get it out.

The only sure fire way is to open your PS3 up and clean it thoroughly. If not, compressed air will a little, but not really too much.

Get a HTPC itself.... it may be slightly more expensive, but its well worth the money if you seriously want to just play anything without any hassle.

I open mine every fortnight.
Depending on your PS3, there are revisions that has different security screws.

Mine is a CECHG model, so a torx screwdriver is needed to remove the front plate cover that hides the other screws underneath.


None.
No one has the balls to handle services like this, simply because if something goes wrong.... hell would raise over.

Mandatory.... unless you bypass with proxy.
But hey, the 3.0 is so sexy.... so why in the world won't you want to udpate?

Though do know this will be the last time you see the PLAYSTATION 3 logo after launching the game.

I'm not sold.
Simply because the content available on the store is still lacking and they're priced way too high.

Its the only way if you want to really clean your PS3.
If you know what you're doing, there should be no problems at all.
