If the cable method don't work, then only have to get the HDTV. Anyway, cable is much cheaper than HDTV laugh.gif

if you have a job, you won't disgrace yourself by not buying a hdtv & saying cable is cheaper. if you are a school boy, then no need to talk anymore... whistling.gif

Got an email from OpenDNS:

QUOTE
OpenDNS provides services to businesses, schools, organizations and households around the world, accounting for a full 1% of all Internet users. As our global reach is growing, so is our footprint. Later this year OpenDNS will add a new datacenter in Singapore to better serve our customers in the Pacific Rim!

Since OpenDNS is anycasted, the new datacenter means faster DNS resolution and an overall faster Internet for OpenDNS users in Asia. If this is where you live, no changes on your end are needed to get the faster DNS resolution — your DNS requests will automatically begin routing through the new servers. Stay tuned to this newsletter for more detail about the new datacenter and other projects we're working on.
Let's hope for a better online speeds with multiplayer games on PSN once the Singapore datacenter goes online.

Guys, just wanna confirm something with y'all...

cos there was a forumer in another forum asking about the region problem which is "Can HK PS3 play games from Malaysia game disc?"

Then I answered the TS that PS3 is region free so meaning to say can play any game from any region, except that DLC is region specific and even give him an example where R3 Resident Evil can only buy add on content from R3 region server. Am I correct up to this point?

then there was another forumer said that I am absolutely wrong.... here goes his answer:

"Absolutely wrong.

You CAN buy Resident Evil 5 R1 content and play with your Resident Evil 5 R3 disc. I have actually tried that.

The most important thing is to have a US account to buy your R1 content (can use fake address too)."


I know this question has been asked for so many times already but I am wondering if for all time that I get my information wrong or this another fellow get his info wrong?
Cos for all I can read from this thread in the beginning it says PSN DLC is region specific to the game region that you bought.. for example US Warhawk only works with US Warhawk DLC...
Hope someone care to give me some clarification? Thanks!!!
*
Some games dlc are region free like RE5 & Dragon Age: Origins, while other games like Warhawk are region locked.

All fat ps3 will get YLOD. Better prepare to buy a new slim ps3 before your fat ps3 die for good.

Guys! Anyone has experience dealing with their local Sony Centre? I am planning to get a PS3 set but I have yet to make my mind on whether to get a MY or a SG set. I read a lot of comment regarding the good services provided by SG Sony Centre but i have yet to read any positive comment regarding our local MY Sony Centre.

Some feedback on this will be much appreciated. biggrin.gif

Thank you.

Common sense dictates that if you live in Malaysia, you should buy things in Malaysia to get the local warranty. Unless you have a private jet to fly to Singapore, then by all means go buy there.

but the ds3 is from sg set ps3...

so now you know why everybody recommend MY set. just because you want to save RM100, you end up with broken ds3 and cannot claim warranty.

Unless you are very rich to buy a new slim ps3, it's cheaper to send it back to sony for repairs.

it it's a permenant fix, i'll go to Sony..
if not, better get slim.. it's cheaper now days..
sell this-almost-ylod-unit for around 300-400 then topup and buy slim.. and make installment for 3 month for dat slim.. hahaha.. cilaka i'm so desperate now.. COD7 coming!  rclxub.gif

YLOD has nothing to do with the hard disk. It's the thermal paste on your fat ps3 that is wearing out. I recommend you send it back to Sony because it's still cheaper then buying a new slim, since your ps3 is official my set and not some import sg set.
