i only use gparted. other than that i dont really know

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

my gow3 keeps freezing.. after i do system restore it would work fine for awhile then it'll start freezing all over again. does that mean i'll have to replace the hd or do the full 14hr+ formatting?

Never tried blue ray movies but my games volume is sure lot lower compared to avi video I put on my PS3. Is it a PS3 prob?

Added on May 22, 2010, 4:34 pmMine is also singapore set. Bought it last April. just check all the accessories, manual etc. Normally if you get it from whole seller, it won't be sealed or anything. But it's quite fine. Just make the online registration right after purchase under singapore region hence the product is from singapore. And make sure the serial number is there on the box.

Volume output of video files are not PS3 related. These volume outputs are all encoding related. To solve the problem you need to 'normalise' the volume of the videos which I am not sure if the PS3 has this feature. But in Media Player Classic on Windows they have the normallise feature which eliminates the volume differences between different video files.

any good places to swap ps3 games?

clcik my siggy and rent ps3 games for rm3 per day. awesome service.

you installed OtherOS?

ermm..dunno y these days my ps3 hang once a while..

do u all suffer this scenario?

Hi all. Need some suggestions here.

My PS3 phat 40GB Singapore set had just YLOD, it's currently using a 500GB HDD i've installed, but i hear that it's best to change the HDD back to the stock 40GB before sending it for repairs, is that right? How do I get that game disc inside the BR drive back out?

Warranty is out, so what are the recommendation to get it fix? Send it to Sony Style? Local gameshops? Singapore set must send to Singapore to fix, or Sony Style Msia also can? How much does repair cost?

Lastly, would all the stuffs in my PS3 get erased after repair (esp from Sony)? DLCs, locked saves, etc. Can't backup anything now, lol.

Thanks.

Does that mean i cant put ps3 infront of my television? This is the picture I draw the placement of ps3 and television

sony style / sony malaysia wont accept your console since its singapore set , there is 2 method :

1. send to sony singapore
2. send to the local gameshop that offer repair & service

but i would suggest you to send to local gameshop cause they can repair it less then 7 days...

i called them last time. they wont repair your machine. instead they will sell a slim to you at sgd318 if i remember correctly. better get a malaysian ps3.

So the best course of action for me is repair PS3 locally(heard that it won't last long), then save up and get a slim > Data Transfer?

Regarding the subwoofer and ps3? Do anyone of you guys have a genuine and proof stating that the subwoofer can corrupt the bd lens and the ps3 itself? Theoretically yes..... But do someone really got those problem from closing up their ps3 with a subwoofer? I saw some of my friends putting their ps3 on a subwoofer for such a long time and nothing seems to happened. My PC was sit right next to a subwoofer too and nothing happened as well. Idk what will happen 4 to 5 years from now though.

Trying to put a ps3 in front of a subwoofer or a speaker is a suicide mission I guess.

yea better get a slim

1. Woofers cannot corrupt lenses. They can mess the lens by introducing vibrations which will wear out the moving parts in the lens itself.
2. It's safer to place the woofer away from the console, as the vibration caused, depending on your level of volume will be a bad factor for your Hard Disk rather than the lens.
3. And also, the magnetic field generated by the woofer is greater than the speakers, and it's general knowledge that magnets and Hard Drives do not go together pretty well even though there's a very strong magnet in the Hard Drive assembly itself.

But in modern speakers generally available today, they are all mostly shielded, I can say this for PC speakers but as for woofers I'm not entirely sure. The most important factor would be the vibration generated from the woofer rather than the magnetic field, which is why its best to keep the woofer away from the console but it's alright to place the console near the speakers unless you tend to blast your volume until your table rocks and stuff.

Can someone asnwer my question?

whats the magic word?

Dear Friends, anyone know how to download PS3 games or Create ID in PSN ( 1st time )

TQ

agreed with u. anyway, poyohebat, it's hard to get prove for it since when their ps3 is broken..they will say another source of problem that cause it.they will not remember anything bout the magnetic field arounds them because they didnt know that thing also contributing to the cause of the problem.
try put those small magnets ppl put on the refrigerator on ur pc cpu.. ermm..anyway speakers, they do have magnetic shield arounds them. dont u remember, old speakers when u put near tv, ur tv will change it's color... it's instantaneous when u put in front of the glass.but it do took a long time before ur tv broken if u put nearby. but now modern speakers... ur tv is still ok even u put a speaker in fron of the glass. might not be related to ps3.. but just a picture how does it affecting ur console.
