As good as asking how to repair a space shuttle.
Be more specific, what is wrong with your controller.


Tak boleh.

Ah re-sync, my bad.
My mistake, didn't read properly.

Just attach the USB cable and reconnect the controller to your PS3 then.

Theoritically yes.
Some games on different regions has more info on the disc than the others (particularly EU regions).

The disc only spins faster upon starting up however.

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

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?

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.

Take out the disc and just turn it off?
Lol.

Taking out the disc is rather optional.
But I suggest that you do take it out either ways.

The disc trapped in the disc bay can actually warp (cases of this happening is a hundreth thousand in 1, but its happen before) due to the heat.
So ask yourself if you're really so lazy to eject the disc and re-insert everytime you wanna play or stop playing.

If you are... well, okay no prob.

FYI, the lens in the Blu-ray drive of the PS3 is a moving part.
It moves closer to the disc when heavy textures (or something else in relation like playing a cutscene while loading a level) are loaded off the disc.

That, can possibly scratch your disc if the lens moves out of alignment.
Although this issue is far, far less than it was ever was before on the PS2 days, it still happens.

Hence the reason why I said in the previous page or 2 to TAKE OUT your disc when you stop playing.
If you don't want... no problem, hope for the best but if anything goes wrong don't come crying when your disc fails to read the next time.

Decrease the volume on your monitor.

Emmm... hidden in the menus perhaps?
Try searching around.

What monitor are you using btw?

Sound like a dead ethernet port.
Try wi-fi to determine if the network adapter is dead or not first though.

Actually, and technically... HDMI is designed for hot-plugging.
But the fact that many electrical equipments doesn't do a good job of re-handshaking the HDCP protocol, that's where the problem occurs.

That's where the danger comes in.

Just a small note.

The maintenence is also a prep for media updates from E3 in a couple of days.
So yea.

Why would you buy a 40GB when a 120GB PS3 slim is at a lower price of what 40GB was before?
Furthermore, I doubt you'll ever find a 40GB PS3 for new anymore now a days.

Do more research.

Unfortunately, no way around it.
Majority of games on the PS3 aren't even at true 1280x720 resolution even, often times below that.

Only a handfull of games are at full 1920x1080 resolution (1080p).
There are games which handles upsclaing of 1080p pretty well, but there many that doesn't.

So yea... gotta live with it.

Those games support the probabilty to upscale from 720p > 1080p.
However, they aren't natively supported (GoW3 is however).

This is purposely done by the developers, upscaling to 1080p does take a hit on performance even if most people won't notice it and could introduce certain graphical issues also.
Therefore, they still put the option to force 1080p upscale but not natively.
For those who wants it, they get it but otherwise no.


A psychological effect.
I take it that this is your first time really dwelving into the HD world.

You were taken back by how nice and sharp everything is, but once your eyes settle in... you'll start to see the artifacts.
Nothing uncommon.

@benblitz
Best way to clean? Open up and clean. That's the best way and I'm not joking or trying to be an ass.
The vacuum won't really do much good really.

If your console is still under warranty, you can try using a can of compressed-air.
But NEVER EVER blow at the disc drive.

Remember to read guides and watch how to do on YT if you aren't sure.

@benedict
If you even read the first page, your question would have been answered.

As for the Z5500, you can connect the PS3 to it with an optical cable and just set audio out via optical out under the sound settings.

You can't play MKV files on the PS3, period.
If you want to play them, do it through media streaming.

Otherwise, convert.
