and one more thing, do you guys buy anything from playstation network before? i am in the midst of registering now. they ask me for my credit card number. is it ok to put my credit card there?
*
we have bought lots of stuff from ps store.

psn is a secure network. so its ok to register your credit card there. if you are afraid, you can delete your credit card info from psn anytime.

you only register for different account if you plan to buy stuff from other regions. you can register for psn with your ps3 or pc.

PSN games VS BD games

PSN

- takes u'r 1 slot login ID
- take hdd space
- need to donlod

+ loading faster
+ no need disc to play
+ cheaper

BD

- more expensive
- need to insert the disc before playing
- loading a bit slow since it have to read a data from the disc

+ u can resell
+ no need to add another login ID
+ u can play on the spot..no need to download
*
The PSN version of Dragon Age Awakenings on MY PSN is more expensive then the BD version.

So it's not necessarily that the PSN version is cheaper then the BD version.

stop crying like a baby. it's going to die already and once it's dead all your save games, psn games, etc is gone. you wanna wait until it's dead or you wanna buy a new ps3 slim and transfer your data from your old ps3?

if you have a family, then of course your family comes first. you can save money to buy new ps3 later.

if your fat ps3 is MY set, then send it back to sony for repairs. if not, stop crying & save money & be a man!

well, is there a way to prevent our PS3 PHAT going "that" direction?

by cleaning the fan, reapplying thermal paste , will it help to prevent my ps3 getting ylod?
*
no, ylod will come back because the thermal paste won't last long.

i think BFBC2 will be better but what can u complaint for RM10 games?  laugh.gif
how about if we change the themal paste every 3-6 months?afaik good paste won't be dry that fast  hmm.gif
*
there are some people in garage sales offering YLOD repairs but all of them will say that they cannot gurantee you that YLOD won't come back.

Sometimes the cause of YLOD is not the thermal paste but some other component in the ps3.

so you can try to change the paste every time if you have nothing to do but if you have the cash, then i suggest buying a new slim ps3 then repairing the old fat ps3.

When I use PS3 media server to watch HD vid,it lags some time...could t be my modem prob?

i think it lags because your laptop cpu is not powerful enough.

i always convert my hd vids to play on my ps3 instead of streaming it.
