Just bought it from Playtime Bangsar. The whole set + Dante's Inferno Death Edition + DVI to HDMI Cable + Free one PS3 bag = RM1700. Is it too expensive? I have a few noob questions to ask here and hope that all sifu can help me.
1. Since I am a big noob here, how to register my console? I have to go to Sony Singapore to register it or what. 2. Dante's Inferno comes with some downloadable content. Can I download it using my PC, transfer it to my thumb driver and then transfer it over to my PS3? If can, is it very direct OR have specific steps to follow?
Please advice and thanks in advance.

I have finished my registration and it did not ask for my serial number. Do I do it right? Or I will have to register for the product after successfully register myself. Sorry if this is noob question.

Help please. I tried to register my PS3 hardware online and it returns with the error that ask me to make sure that the country I wanna register is the correct one. When I click on "Continue to Register", it says error and ask me to login again. I bought it from Playtime Bangsar and it says that its SG set. Is it their website problem or mine is not SG set after all. Pls advice.

QUOTE(ReaperOfSoul @ Mar 10 2010, 10:32 AM) I'm using s'pore ps3 slim and I didnt encounter any problems registering with M'sia and europe psn. Just curious why you cant register m'sian address..  I failed when I use MY address and trying to register SG Set. I actually called up SG and what they told me is that I need to register another PSN ID and register a SG address before I can register my hardware. Just did that 10 minutes ago and this time, successful. Case close. QUOTE(ericpires @ Mar 10 2010, 12:01 PM) Why do i like to buy games when i still havent finish playing what i have? Because you are rich, friend. PS3 games are quite costly and unless you have $$$, you wont buy before you finished existing game. i know some who finished the game, sell it, and then top up some money to buy another one.

QUOTE(waishingren @ Mar 17 2010, 12:36 AM) My monitor has HDCP and its confirmed as previously still working fine. But well, if they did test on Bravia and confirm my ps3 no problem, i will just go straight to get myself a HDMI monitor LOL. Now i just hoping that my PS3 is ok :-) Btw they will test it in front of you or just hand in the ps3 and go back wait for news? Thanks to all that replied. U guys rock! I just bought my PS3 and connect it to my LCD monitor via HDMI>DVI cable as well. Working fine so far. How to check whether my monitor has HDCP or not? If no HDCP, how to get it sorted out? I dont want to face a problem where when I buy a new game, it cant play due to this HDCP issue. Thanks a lot.

QUOTE(motel266 @ Mar 29 2010, 10:06 AM) I followed this thread's instruction but still fail. The IP Test failed and then I cant connect to the internet using the new setting. After I revert back to the original one, then can connect. I have posted for help in that thread but no response. Here is faster I suppose.

How long can we play PS3 at one time? I remember when the PS2 Slim was launced, you cannot play it for more than 5hours at one go as the lens cannot take it. Is this the same with PS3 slim? Pls advice.

QUOTE(aun104 @ Apr 16 2010, 09:03 AM) Mine also slim SG set. I get it last week. Updated to 3.21. So there should b no problem. But, warrant only can get in SG. Btw, I get a free RM5 coupon upon register my PS3? Is it this coupon to use in PS store? Jz wonder RM 5 can buy anything? hehe So nice that you got $5. I only got SGD$2 upon registering my PSN and redeem the gift. It cant get you anything to be honest. I also updated to 3.21 and so far so good. Works as normal.

I cut out 2 piece of polyester and place my PS3 on top of it. This will make lift the bottom up and let the air flow. Cheapest and recycle also. It somehow helps take the heat away a little bit if compare to just place the machine straight away on the table.

To play safe, better take the disc out after playing. It only takes like less than 10 seconds to do that and in return, you can assure that your disc is maintain in good condition. 10 seconds only. Not too much of a hassle right?

QUOTE(shortpants @ Jun 1 2010, 01:50 PM) i just bought ps3 for 3 months.... sometimes i had the prob of it shut down on its own and the on/off button dun have red lite on... i have to switch off and on back to get the red lite on... may i know what is the problem? my gaming time never more than 3 hrs straight... Since its only 3 months, the warranty still valid. I am pretty sure that something is wrong with the PS3 oredi. Unless you are technically sound, its better to send it back for warranty. My PS3 also only 3 months old and its quite frequent for me to play for more than 3 hours straight (although not daily) and my PS3 still operate nicely. Bring it back to the shop where you bought and get them to fix for you. Its pretty rare for a 3 months PS3 to behave like that.

QUOTE(shahreza2000 @ Jun 5 2010, 10:21 AM) You can't create avatars, but select variety of avatars from Edit Profile in Account Management. Also you can purchase new Avatars from Playstation Network Store. As for photos, firstly your USB thumbdrive should have created allocated folder PS3 > PHOTO (for the ps3 to list automatically) or you can search the entire thumbdrive with pressing Triangle, select "Shows All" and the contents will be shown. Thanks for the advice. One more question though. I receive a platinum in Bayonetta but how come when I check the leaderboard, it says no data? How to register my award onto its leaderboard? Pls advice.
