sifu sekalian, i wanna ask, i have a viewsonic vx2433wm monitor, and i wanna connect my ps3 to it.

i have vs4121 altec lansing speaker, can i connect it to my ps3 and pc?

means 2 machines on one speaker? is that possible?
*
Yes possible.

But you will need to have a soundcard which accepts line-in.
Simply connect your PS3 to your soundcard using a Y-cable to the line-in jack, enable the audio for line-in in your sound settings.

Set your sounds settings on your PS3 to A/V.

And you'll have sound on your speaker, both from your PC and PS3.
Feel free to have play music on your PC while playing a game on your PS3, "fake" in-game music ftw. biggrin.gif

don't you want the games to be more affordable?

It's because of comments like this the gaming industry is dying and is falling into a monopoly scene.

what with this black and white craze. when wii default was white, they prefer black. when ps3 default is black, they prefer white. just want to be different from d mainsteam izit? its a console for buddha's sake. it just sits there and consume electricity. is not something u drive around to show off to your friends. geez.

Why are feeling butthurt lol?

Different colors doesn't just mean to differ from the mainstream.
People who designs their house, may want different colors of their electornics to match their surroundings and furnitures.

I know what you are going to say next...
"Yea... but how many people of these are there?" right?

Well... what do you care? laugh.gif

@isone

Your TV is 1080p right?
Go to your display settings and MAKE SURE you tick 720p.

Games that doesn't have 1080p upscale support will be dumped down to 480p or 576p if you do not have 720p ticked.
Only a handfull of games you are able to force it into running in 1080p.

For people that use the PS3 with LCD Monitors, this might be a silly question:

HDMI to DVI connection, if you want audio, do you need a monitor with integrated speakers?
*
Even if your monitors has speakers, using a HDMI-DVI cable will not grant you sound since DVI doesn't carry audio.
You need a direct HDMi cable to get audio.

But you can always do the "Y-cable audio" trick like shown in the first page with your PC speakers.

You mean HDMI to DVI will be sufficient? Direct HDMI to HDMI port not available on all monitors sweat.gif

Your monitor doesn't have HDMI?
hmm.gif

You could check if theres an audio-in jack on your monitor or not, because otherwise... I don't see another way how your monitor could get sound.
If so, you still gotta result to the y-cable to connect your PS3 using the AV cable to your monitor, audio out from the AV but video out from the HDMI-DVI.

Yeap.
October 21st.

SG should get it in early December.

But 320GB HDDs are so dirt cheap now (really, they're only RM120)... if anyone who can't wait, just go ahead and pick up the 160GB white now.

so how do we tell the ori and imitation apart? Plus what to do if the controller batt degrading?
*
Buy them from trusted sellers or directly from SonyStyle itself.
There are some ways to tel apart a fake and an original DS3, but unlike back in the PS1 and PS2 days... the build quality of fake DS3s are actually, good.

Watch this vid:




As for battery degreadation, nothing you can do about it.
Lithium-ion batts will lose its charge after years of usage, but by the time it drop to lasting 10 hours or less per-charge (this whould take 4 or even 5 years), it should already be time you get a new DS3.

Since i'm new , din even know that ps3 makes cracking sound . Freaked me out when i heard it but i thought it was my ears at first .. Till i heard it again =.= !!
anyway , that's the controller I have , is it suppose to be like that ? Though it is not causing any problem , and also respond pretty well to my moves , i'm just very
concern to the originality . Please clarify ! Thanks .

Its the sound of the motherboard and the plastic shrinking and expanding itself after turning it off as it is pretty hot.
Its normal, many electronics does it. Listen to your laptop or desktop, it'll do the same thing.

As for the controller, no its not supposed to be like that.
My DS3 is white and the LED light doesn't protude like yours.
The shell should be solid white and the LED shouldn't be strong enough to penetrate it.

I wouldn't confirm your DS3 as fake yet, you have to double check some other stuff like the screws and the button quality.

Here's another view of the DS3 .. The arrow button the one on the left doesnt seem to really fit in place .
I can still like readjust its position .. is it suppose to be like that ? or suppose to be tight fitting and not movable ?
I'll give more photos later ..


Added on September 21, 2010, 12:13 pmFor those with white DS3 , u snap a photo wit the LED on ?
Really appreciate ur effort !
*
Did you put a cap ontop of your analog sticks?
The D-pad is supposed to be loose, if its perfectly tight and isn't moving then it is a confirmed faked or a problem with the plastic that holds the D-pad.

Here is my white DS3:

As you can see, even by lighting up all 4 LEDs, the light shouldn't penetrate the casing shell of the controller.

Ya ya , i put it on the joystick lol it came with the triggers the seller include wit the PS3 . . Yeah , urs never penetrate through lo .. Sigh , how come mine is different ? What model is urs ? Mine is CECHZC2H.

CECHC2J.

The last letter depicts the region of the controller.
But that doesn't really matter as all DS3s, no matter sold in which region are made in China.
