i wanna ask, if the disc got minor scratch, will it still run?

minor scratch should be ok

if the disc got minor crack, avoid using that disc.

Another question regarding disks. Ok, so I admit I've been pirating PS1 and PS2 games. But now that I have my own cash, I wanna finally pay for original. Just that, if ever my disk gets damaged, can I claim back a new one? It makes no sense that I'm paying RM200 for one game, and if it gets damaged I have to buy another RM200 one.
*
its best that we take care of the disc, to some extent some are into plastic cover.

unless sony specify there's something wrong with the disc, then we can claim hmm.gif

Hmm im not sure this is the right place to ask.

My ps3 slim is connected to my pc monitor using hdmi > Dvi and it works. Yesterday out of sudden, no settings whatsoever was touch, the display not coming out already. I still can hear the sound and my controller still working (judgin by the sound)

The thing is, when i plug the ps3 into tv using RYB cable, it work properly with display and sound. Now im baffled, because im not sure its my cable faulty, monitor or ps3 hdmi port spoilt. Anyone can provide some advises?

I tried the 5s reset thingy btw, not working :-/
*
what pc monitor model is it? max res?

also can u try another cable?

Benq FP93GW. It used to work perfectly. Was playing FF13 :-(

I dont have extra hdmi to dvi cable, and i am planing to get a hdmi monitor soon. So i dont think i will buy the cable just to test this out.

Just looking around see if anyone encountered this before. Will be sending it to Mid Valley SC this Saturday anyway since still under warranty.

Max res is 1440x900. Btw the monitor is working fine with my computer, using the same port.

you can try to plug in to another display with hdmi input (to see if hdmi port faulty)

or you can let sony check it

Anyone can tell the difference between HDMI to DVi cable and HDMI to HDMI?
Does it affect the graphics?
*
two different cables, both can output 1080p

hdmi 2 dvi - only carry video, so have to output audio from optical or multi-av cable

hdmi 2 hdmi - carry both video+audio

gfx still the same imho

Is it quite posible the hdmi port faulty? Cuz i have been googling around and so far no results.

Sony if check and end up having no problem, they wont charge anything?
*
if the unit is under warranty, should be no prob

It hangs while playing Battlefield bad company 2... I heard it's quite common..
But it hangs while adding a friend in XMB today...
I'm using PS3 slim.. 120gb
*
its a common prob.... sometimes i blame on the internet connection... its painfully slow and can make ps3 stuck on XMB

IP - 192.168.0.14

I have no problems accessing the Internet on my laptop or the Internet Browser on the PS3. The only thing I am unable to do is sign into PSN.

Obtain IP Address - Succeeded
Internet Connection - Succeeded
Playstation Network - Failed

that ip address assigned for local networking...

the one connect to streamyx/isp server... eg 60.48.xx.xx, 60.50.xx.xx

about upgrading the hdd...as long as the hdd is 2.5" SATA for notebook it'll fit for sure?
*
correct

500gb hdd is more common for ppl to upgrade

those hdd with more 500gb have trouble fitting into ps3, due to its being thicker.

normally 1st gen of bigger than usual hdd always have thicker form (12.5 mm), which is not compatible with ps3 internal hdd slot / cradle, but can be put externally + long sata cable

1st gen 500gb 2.5" sata had 12.5mm thickness

now almost (if not all) 500gb 2.5" is in 9.5mm form, which is compatible with ps3

i believe 640gb 2.5" sata is only available in 12.5mm form for now. i could be wrong though

the best way is checking the datasheet for the physical dimension of an hdd on the manufacturer's website.
*
thx vorchiel

anyway i look up at WD site for 640gb scorpio blue Model: WD6400BPVT and its confirmed 9.5mm form. Anyone try out yet?

750gb and 1tb still in 12.5mm form atm.

as for other brand i've yet to confirm one.

Also whether the drive is sata 1.5 hmm.gif

then how to setting my IP address ??
u also face same problem ??

i keep resetting my router until i get good ip address.

Since my belkin router have reset function at its status page, it will power down for a minute and restart.

each ip address you can try login whether its fast loading or not, including trying out game online.

last time i heard product called HDFury, it supposedly convert HDMI to VGA with HDCP.

a mere cheap cable HDMI to VGA HD15 (Male) cable simply would not work with ps3

Hello, I am about to buy a PS3. Which one is the correct power supply for PS3 in Malaysia, 110V or 220V? I am currently in Australia, and if I am not mistaken, both country are using the same power output?

I've also read somewhere that PS3 power supply is universal, does that means it does not matter if I buy 110V or 220V?
*
yes ... in malaysia 220V, ps3 power supply on the other hand is universal 110-220V

its just the socket is different... just get another power cable/adapter
