is there a reason you want a singaporean set and not a malaysian set?

you will have to format/delete that partition manually or else the space will be lost when you update.

no real idea on the proper procedure,but dont simply update-cos it's been said that you will lose the allotted space

@bolded:yeah.
there's no way to convert your ID into that of a different region,unfortunately

brothers ,

is cech 2106 out in malaysia ?

You can't convert PSN ID regions.

What you can do is create a US PSN ID. Go to http://us.playstation.com/psn/index.htm to register a new account. Use Zip Code 99501 and enter whatever funny address you can think of.

Once you're done, create a new profile in your PS3 and associate that profile with your US PSN ID. You'll then be able to access the US PSN store.

Take note, however, that since Capcom's Final Fight Double Impact PSN title, I'd be very wary of any DRM attached to the download.

Zip Code: 99501. State: Alaska. Population: 16211. Housing Units: 8054..

Thanks for the answer now need to backup the ps3 hdd. So the psn game I downloaded will be lost and need to re download it. Dam i will loss flow in the process (free game on valentine day so no more download link).

So does the backup utility will backup all my movies picture and songs from my ps3 or it must be done manually.

Yea coz I'm getting a Lightning Edition... Was hard to find... So any advise for getting a singapore set?

is it "Flow"?

no idea.
when i backed mine up i didnt have much in the ps3 cos i was on 40gb-only had some game demos.
i think it backs up everything on your hdd,but cant say for sure

at least one seller here in lyn carries a malaysia set (gamers familia)
maybe you might wanna check with him first?

Sony official warranty could be good for you(unless you dont mind trudging to singapore if anything happens )

yo guys. i just back up my stuff to an external HDD

hmm but it says ive only back up 50gb,

when my ps3 says i've used up 60gb O_O

anyway to find out whats the missing 10gb?

Yup that "Flow".
But since you say it will backup demo maybe it will backup full game also.


Maybe your Linux in your ps3 because its using 10gigs of my hard disk.

hello everybody...i had a phat singapore set ps3 and due to an unfortunate event, the ps3 now is a total loss...except the harddrive...
so, i plan to buy a second hand phat singapore set ps3 and then put my salvaged harddrive into that second hand ps3...
is it possible? am i going to get all the saved games and downloaded games exactly like my previous ps3....

it should back up your games,but you have to reactivate them.(re-login to the accounts and download the activation key)

dont think so.
i remember some forummers here saying each ps3 is locked to 1 hard drive.

so if PS3 A YLODs
you buy PS3 B,and take the hard drive from PS3 A, it wont work

hmm so its safe? I just removed my HDD now and install the new HDD?

Lets say I missed out something, if i were to put back my old hDD inside again would it format my stuff?

Cause I know when u insert a new HDD it would req you to format the HDD right

Actually the difference i the 2 is just the warranty? Anything else? 1 year only right?

Btw do i need to see any place to scratch and seal if it is a SG set?

cant say cos my back up worked just fine,didnt have this issue


price,too
and yea,1 year only.

weigh the pro and con before buying.
price vs warranty,if it's worth it.

lol anyway only 1 way to find out!

wish me luck boyz

erk,gaise?
mind me asking how much does ps3 slim cost now?

New or Old once you take out HDD from PS3 it will prompt you to reformat...
to be save..better do some back-up at the first place

ps3A hddX (ori configuration)

ps3A hddY (new hdd) -> reformat prompt

ps3A hddX again -> no reformat prompt


ps3B hddX -> reformat prompt, coz it has been formatted by ps3A


-----------


a ps3 can have many hdds, but an hdd can only be 'owned' by 1 ps3


all above for internal hdd only. doesnt apply to externals

some ppl make a mistake before with the old hdd (do backup 1st on external hdd using the backup utility)

they "pandai2" want to do backup thru pc, somehow windows corrupted the ps3 hdd filesystem

if put back into ps3, it will says reformat

since swissknife won't work on vista/win7, any other recommended tools?
