No you can't.
Because the UK PSN card only works on UK PSN.

Furthermore, DLC for LBP is region-locked IINM (correct me if I'm wrong).
So even if you buy the DLC for LBP in the UK store, you will not be able to use it on your R3 LBP since its region is Asian.
*
correct.
i tried sharing my R1 kratos costume for LBP,but no region 3 owner could use it

Anyone ever wondered how much space does a PS3 blu ray disc occupy? DMC4 for PC fits on a single sided DVD, so what gives on blu ray?
*
audio takes up alot of space on ps3 games.(blu ray)

BTW is there any way to download demos from PS Store using PC instead of PS3?

Added on April 15, 2010, 3:53 pm

How does it compares with PC games then? I thought PC games also support DTS or DD5.1?
*
PS3 games generally use uncompressed audio,whereas the 360 uses compressed audio.

dunno bout pc cos i dont really touch pc gaming much tongue.gif

I even remembered the very first bypass for the PS2 was to make pirated CDs of PS2 games and a switch plugged into the USB port lol.

laugh.gif mine was called "s-box",if i remember correctly xD

needed to use a gameshark CD to boot up the ps2 laugh.gif

then once in the menu,press the switch and switch discs

I would like to ask a dumb question.

Recently i got this official PS3 wireless headset and from my understanding, the headset should be able to receive both game audio and voice chat  OR just the voice chat only?
*
only game i can think of that allows selected game audio thru bluetooth headsets is MGS4.

others use it solely for voice chat.

I think you're referring to an adapter instead. S-ATA tape could mean S-ATA tape drives.

Anyway I would highly suggest DWExia just get himself a 2.5" Hard Disk instead. It's much more practical IMO since he's already having a headache trying to find out which brand of HDD to get already.

To everyone else, if you're interested in making a 3.5" adapter for yourself, here's a method.

i concur.
judging by his anxiety,fiddling any more with the PS3's wiring would probably drive him insane

Hi guys, getting a PS3 this weekend. Getting a singapore set, got any tips on checking the product before getting it?

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

QUOTE(febreze2xxx @ May 20 2010, 12:41 PM)
Its been awhile since I use my Ps3. Mine still 3.15 and want to upgrade it but I already install linux in it. So should i just upgrade it and will it automatically convert the free space from the linux to ps3 os or I need to reformat the hdd to regain the lost space in hdd when installing linux?  icon_question.gif
*
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

QUOTE(rEDs @ May 20 2010, 01:29 PM)
hi, forgive me but i dont know where to start to find key word to browse, probably has been discussed in this thread before.

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

QUOTE(Zenax @ May 20 2010, 10:01 PM)
Yea coz I'm getting a Lightning Edition... Was hard to find... So any advise for getting a singapore set?
*
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 tongue.gif )

Yup that "Flow". tongue.gif
But since you say it will backup demo maybe it will backup full game also. sweat.gif
Maybe your Linux in your ps3 because its using 10gigs of my hard disk. cool2.gif
*
it should back up your games,but you have to reactivate them.(re-login to the accounts and download the activation key)

QUOTE(aikanazirf @ May 21 2010, 11:49 AM)
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....
*
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

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


QUOTE(Zenax @ May 21 2010, 12:10 PM)
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?
*
price,too blush.gif
and yea,1 year only.

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

guys..may ask something? the After Burner game only available to download thru psn only? the blueray version not available ? or is there any game like that available (pilot simulation)
*
yeah,PSN only.
it's a 30 minute game at best,so definitely NO blu ray copy.
it's a definite PSN only game.

alot of fun,but in no way a simulator tongue.gif

just bought my copy 2 days ago...good arcade fun

you can try HAWX.
it's multiplatform,and the sequel is coming out soon
