I'm not sure about Vista, but XP definitely need third party software to stream media to PS3. Win7 works without needing any third party software.

some ps3 games are even less than 4gb. however i believe sony has imposed the requirement to press all ps3 games on br discs, same like all ps2 games must be pressed on dvd even though they can occupy a single cdrom.

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

needed to use a gameshark CD to boot up the ps2

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

Hey peeps! Just wanted to know if it's possible to change the DS3 controller batteries? Been having mine for 3yrs and I noticed that it drains fast nowadays. Any shops provide the service? Thanks in advance (:

Hi all. Need some suggestions here.

My PS3 phat 40GB Singapore set had just YLOD, it's currently using a 500GB HDD i've installed, but i hear that it's best to change the HDD back to the stock 40GB before sending it for repairs, is that right? How do I get that game disc inside the BR drive back out?

Warranty is out, so what are the recommendation to get it fix? Send it to Sony Style? Local gameshops? Singapore set must send to Singapore to fix, or Sony Style Msia also can? How much does repair cost?

Lastly, would all the stuffs in my PS3 get erased after repair (esp from Sony)? DLCs, locked saves, etc. Can't backup anything now, lol.

Thanks.

anyone experiencing loud fan noise about 15-30 minutes of gameplay? i understand my system is going into overdrive and fan kicking into high gear due to it getting hot.... i am quite happy that my system is doing what it supposed to, but can this happening continouosly be healthy for the system?

thinking its dust, i have tried cleaning it using the fan test method, and using a small vacuum to pick up dust over the vents, but is there any other  way of cleaning it besides taking it apart?

is there any other solution for the loud fan problem?

edit: using ps3 phat 40gb

if u suspect the firmware, why don't u upgrade the firmware 1st?

If it's still not solving u'r problem, maybe u can ask for Bernad help...told him u'r from LYN..Perhaps he can give better deal for forumer

u can do it DIY ...

or customized paints by a fellow forumer, maxilias (check at games section)

or ps3 skin sold overseas (rm100 per skin  )
