Hi people. Plan to get myself a PS3 after playing much with my PSP. I see in the market there are 320GB PS3 Slim which are selling. What's the difference between Singapore set and Malaysia set? Would yo all recommend me buying that? Would getting a 'usb unlock' cause the PS3 to be instable (hopefully this could be discuss here) since having a big hardisk would fulfill it's purpose? I did ask around the shop and some shop don't recommend me to 'usb unlock' it because they say 'all this time people buy ori game, so should use it... non ori will spoilt you PS3'. Yeah... right. But again, I need you expert opinion on this. Is the PS Move joystick can be a replacement for the Dual Shock joystick? And finally, since my TV at home being use for watching Astro, would you all suggest me getting an LCD Monitor with HDMI jack as a cheaper display for the PS3? Hope to hear from you all

QUOTE(sjn hassan @ Sep 19 2010, 03:44 PM) 1. i would recommend to get a MY set 1. Thanks, I know the warranty would be the issue here. Check out the Sony Center just now and saw 250GB for RM1399. But I am a bit skeptical as the Singapore set one is RM1180 for 320GB. Does the PS3 always give problem once you buy them?2. any monitor with HDMI port will do..except Plasma TV, i'm using DELL 24" LCD and getting another DELL 23" LED-LCD (RM559) for my pc / ps3  2. That's pretty cheap. I check the Dell Online and the price is RM599. Wonder which shop gave u that price? I saw the brochure price in LowYat was ACER S231HL LED 23' = RM589. Was planning to get the VIEWSONIC VX2450WM LED 23.6' = RM699. Too expensive?

U cant Send a singapore set to malaysia sony centre. Do take note that u can change the internal HDD urself , just keep the stock HDD to claim warranty if needed. I recommend a Malaysia set if u have the extra cash due to the warranty purpose. USB unlock , or Jailbreak PS3 is illegal and still in early phase, If u plan to play online, trophy collecting , I highly recommend u not to play pirated games , u might get banned permanently from accessing playstation network from ur ps3, MAC Address ban ( Though this is not confirmed yet , as no one as experienced getting banned so far . Oh, can easily change the internal HDD is it? Did some Googling and found most people upgrade up to 500GB but some are having problem because of the firmware. Plan to upgrade to 1TB if possible.  ) . So yeah , Non-Ori might spoil the ps3  . PS move is a different type of gaming device used for the ps3, the PS3 DS3 works for all games except those that require the PS move support. an LCD monitor as a monitor for the PS3 is a good choice , Due to the small screen compared to a LCD TV , pictures will look stunning!  especially on fullHD 1080p. As for online, don't really play online as my pc is connected to my modem. And besides, plan to play it only during weekends as weekdays too tired after work (or during holidays). Perhaps to download the PS3 'games'.  As for the LCD monitor, I guess I'm getting the 23' type as the 27' is a bit to pricey for now. I guess as long as it LED and got the HDMI port on it, it should be able to display full HD 1080p right? Thanks for the advise.This post has been edited by Cheapodude: Sep 19 2010, 07:50 PM |
