QUOTE(Cinta Laura @ Jan 27 2011, 11:04 PM) it's okay for me to buy at least 1 game like they said. but the thing that make me angry is the game sikit sangat and the game title is such a noob game. annoying  if you want sony malaysia warranty, you have to buy the console with one game. that rule has been there since ps3 was launched locally on sept 2009. if you don't like it, you can go buy from ah long game shop and end up with no warranty, fake controller and second hand console repackaged as "new"..

QUOTE(sjn hassan @ Jan 28 2011, 12:37 AM) i bought at sony center..they don't force me to get a game and afaik there's few of us bought at SS also told the same...no bundle needed * if not mistaken few seller in LYN also can offer MY set..better get from them than SS...just support them since they already give us special price compare to RRP  for sony style, you have to buy one game with ps3. i don't know about sony center since they are only sony's agent and not sony's own shop like sony style.

QUOTE(VHunter @ Feb 2 2011, 05:41 PM) Hey guys, I need some help here. Mysterious blinking pixels are appearing when I play certain games. It appeared in GT5 (When there's animation, no blinking pixels visible when in loading screen, but when racing or anything that involves animation, the pixels appears), Sports Championship and LBP 1. I realize these 3 games were published by Sony Computer Entertainment, anything to do with them? The rest of the games by other publishers such as Racket Sports, FF13 and Need for Speed Shift does not appear to have the mysterious pixels. Oh and I am using an R3 PS3. http://img703.imageshack.us/i/pixel7.jpghttp://img828.imageshack.us/i/pixel8.jpghttp://img191.imageshack.us/i/pixelxt.jpgThank you for helping.  looks like your tv has got a bad case of stuck pixels. time to buy a new tv..

QUOTE(sjn hassan @ Feb 11 2011, 12:36 AM) all phat have a risk of YLOD while slim almost can say NONE...slim have better CPU architecture..so it is cooler than previous CPU..but fat got extra 2 usb slot than slim..donno why Sony only reduce the port  Only the first generation ps3, ie 20GB & 60GB got 4 usb port. later fat models only have 2 usb ports.

QUOTE(shahreza2000 @ Feb 11 2011, 03:50 PM) sony set very high price for ps3 at the time games were very limited back then... there were so few games back then, until people started to joke that there was nothing to play on ps3. fast forward to today and there are so many games to play on ps3 until we don't have enough time to play them all..
