I don't mean the remote for watching movies, but the remote for playing games, i.e. a sixaxis or dualshock.

I'm scared to buy one since I heard counterfeit remotes are sold quite a lot in Malaysia. I remember the hassle I had with a counterfeit PS1 remote I bought that broke after 6 hours. They wouldn't replace it sad.gif

Well I would hope that it was replaced on the spot. If not, I won't be buying a controller from them!

my current router can support ps3 online, connection type NAT 2, can surf can game online
but the problem is, i face heavy latency always, tried to set dmz settings already, still no avail
take tekken 6 as example, most players i see are 1 or 2 bars, sometimes can see 4-5 bars player, but still lag also

my isp is streamyx, 1mb package, surfing on pc is smooth, downloads can reach 140kbps+-
my router is d-link DI-524 + ZTE TM modem

No. You can't play PC games on your PS3 by utilizing it as your Graphic Card. I don't think MSN is supported in PS3, however there's a chat function in PSN. (PlayStation Network)

Act as wireless modem? Nope, however it has built in WiFi and a ethernet lan slot.

PS3 is can play those Blu-Rays, DVDs and CDs.. It could spoil the lens by excessive playing of pirate DVDs/BluRays/CDs is being played of.. The lens can be die in anytime too if it tends to be overheated (YLOD).

PS3 doesn't support dual screen display.

The RAM on the PS3 is firmly soldered onto the main PCB. Plus, there's no one has upgrade their rams before. (Or if anyone does?)

Anything is possible to overclock, but then PS3 is not possible to overclock a.t.m, somehow it could be overclock in future, who knows?

Using a USB Keyboard and mouse is possible on PS3, but not for gaming. Unless you're talking about gaming mouse specially for PS3 like FragFX, Fragnstein, etc.

You don't have to mind it it's illegal or not, because mod will take care of them. So no illegal talks in this forum, like piracy games etc.

Anyone can recommend me a place to get my PS3 fixed?

My HDMI port is fried according to Sony because I brought it back there to service but they are charging me RM640 to replace my HDMI port and the secondary motherboard.

I called Tim from Playtime and he said only Sony can fix it because they don't have the software to access the motherboard after fixing.

Any idea where can I get it done?

1. I have no idea how you connect a ps3 to pc... or why you would do that
2. facebook got... msn no skype no
3. gaming headsets are supported, but check ur headset model to be safe
4. hard drive fail can dl again
5. the browser sucks ass... but for 1 or 2 tabs for normal surfing or youtube should be ok

Dude a ps3 is not gonna replace a pc. A modern PC is more powerful than a PS3. Remember the PS3 was released in 2006. A game with maxed out details on a PC will own the PS3
