Sorry for disturbing but i have a question is updating the firmware faster when you use your usb or same as updating with your ps3?

Thank you for your time.

updating thru internet - all depends on ur internet connection - hope that it won't dc while updating fw

by updating thru usb (download firmware file to ur pc and transfer into usb drive) is highly recommended... safer

trophies sync to the sony server, tied to ur psn id... don't worry abt it

in a case of fw download interrupted (disconnected from internet), need to resume is a hassle

warranty wise , all warranty 1 year right ?

And MY set is more expensive by RM100 ? SG set now is RM1100 i think
for 160 gb ..
*
yeah... sony Malaysia only accept MY set for repair, even after warranty period over

if SG set, u have to send it to Sony SG (some shop do a service to send it back, at a price)

as for hdd, it can upgraded (its cheap btw) to 500/640 gb sata notebook hdd

its a 4 years old SG white 40gb set. so no more warranty

planing to get it repair but 1st maybe there some method or anything.
*
well u can try default factory setting... but its not the solution to the prob

you can ask the shop to see if the bluray drive is ok or not... try Bernard Moh (Gamers Solution@Pertama Complex)

Ok my PS3's lens died again after replacing it a month ago. I give up using lens sold by 3rd party. Since I'm going to Japan later this month, I plan to send it to Sony in Japan to have it fixed for a fee since I am using a 60gb JP console. Any idea if they will ship it back to me in Malaysia when it's done? Just in case they can't fix it in time while I'm still there.
*
i got the old HK 60gb one... lens still working... but died from ylod 3 times (now in the box as vintage item) .. sigh

better still get slim ps3 while u're there

I don't really want to replace the 60gb if possible because of the PS2 BC. Trivial, yes but I still do play some PS2 games on my PS3. I want to explore the options I have before resorting to buying a new PS3.
*
what's firmware is ur ps3 as of now?

where did u send for repair?

i don't think sony jp will replace bluray drive as new unit... it might be from recon set hmm.gif
