But seriously.... do you really think ps3 are made to be weak against this stuff? The only explanation with faulty ps3 that came up to my mind are heat. But yeah.... it's always better to prevent than to cure.... I'm just worried with my ps3 to be placed in between a speaker or woofer (IDK).

Wait. What is the difference between speaker and woofer?

Like I said, the worrying factor would be Vibrations rather than Magnetic Fields unless you're using Home Theatre speakers since those are usually not shielded. So it's better to be safe than sorry. Chances are, your Hard Drive will go out first before your lens.

But when it comes to electronics, you cannot say for sure when will that component die. So if you have a console that has a faulty lens, it could just be it's time for death and not any other external factors causing the failure.

How do I know my speaker/woofers are shielded?

Either open it up or test it with a CRT.

But for speakers to be strong enough to kill hard drives, just place a few paper clips near the speakers. Or directly against the back portion of the speaker, if it doesn't stick then you should have nothing to worry about.

ohhh.... okay. Thanks.

Someone answer my question please.I really wanna know

You can put it infront of you TV, no problems.
Why?

Guys, question here. Any idea whether we can charge the PS3 controller when the PS3 is turned off?

Just plug into any laptop PC USB port. The laptop PC has to be ON of course

Because some people say that put ps3 in front of woofer will damage your ps3.Thats why I wanna know if tv speaker included or not

connect the usb cable to ur pc/laptop
can charge already

Yea.
If your woofer is from the 90's where there are no magnetic shielding, it'll lead your PS3 to magnetic corruption.

Otherwise... lol, it doesn't matter.
How big are your woofers anyway in the first place?

Hey guys so I'm in the states now and I decided to buy an 80gb model ps3 slim. I was pretty sure that a ps3 bought here would work back home in msia, but just to be safe, I sent a message to Sony. I was surprised to hear their reply that not only does ps3 not accept a universal power supply, but they said it also does not play non region one games. Is this all true? Or BS?

Hello Warren,

You will only be able to play DVD's coded "region 1" or "region ALL" coded in the NTSC format on the North American PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. Blu-ray Discs™ (BD) that are marked with the "region A" will be supported.

*When playing PLAYSTATION®3 format software, a display/monitor that supports video playback at 60Hz is required. (Please contact the manufacturer of your display for video playback support.)

In addition, the North American PLAYSTATION 3 system only supports a power supply of 120V AC, 60 Hz.

Lastly, due to different television and voltage standards, and a variety of licensing issues, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) has implemented a territorial-based distribution system for its hardware, peripherals, and software. This limits the use of any particular software to play on the console designated for that distribution territory (e.g. North American games will not play in the systems designed for other regions, such as, Japan, Europe, etc.). You may also experience problems if you attempt to use memory sticks, controllers, etc. from a different region (outside of North America) on your North American console.

In addition, we would not recommend traveling with your North American PLAYSTATION 3 system outside of North America. Due to a difference in international television and voltage standards, North American PLAYSTATION 3 systems may not be compatible for use outside of North America.

We do not have any information on adapters or converters made to override territorial restrictions. The various PlayStation® consoles and format software titles are only designed to run in their respective regions and countries. We apologize for any inconvenience.

They're all true.

However, none of them applies (except for the DVD and Blu-Ray region issue).
So don't worry. And just buy the PS3 if you want to.

thanks ben
but are u sure the statement "only supports 120V 60Hz" does not apply? I thought in msia we're 240V. Sorry to ask somemore, just that I don't want my ps3 to explode when I plug it in :s

thanks.

PS3 has a Universal Power Supply so it supports Voltage Ranges from 110V to 240V.

Go to the Malaysian PSN page to sign up. You'll need a Visa or Mastercard to purchase games and DLC by accessing the PSN Store via your PS3.

Yo guys im having abit of a problem

I just changed my HDD to 500gb 2 days ago.

Today I played my Rb2 and somethingwas wrong

It kinda of freezes abit during game play. It never happend before this.

Could it be the back up problem? OR hdd problem.

Only speaker from tv.Just asking weather got problem or not.Thats all

Since it's a PS3 Slim, the only time the issue of regions will come up is when you want to playback a DVD. Blu-rays, games or otherwise are not region locked.
