any idea where can get HDMI to VGA cable? how much it cost?
*
No such cable. Even if it does exist, it won't work on the PS3 due to HDCP and also PS3 does not support VGA signals.

Yea.
Not as good because with Component, we cannot enable Deep Color and Full RGB.
So the contrast and colors would appear washed out, but that's the nature of how the game would look without any "enhancements".

I believe Deep Color isn't of much use to us as we need a display with a 12bit panel. Most TN LCDs are 8 bit with dithering only and the more expensive *IPS and LCD TVs have only 10bit panels.

btw for the game to freeze every now and then is common right?
*
Depends, I know that firmware 3.41 (IIRC) was ridden with bugs that it kept freezing most of my games randomly. It was resolved in 3.42 or 3.5. Was damn annoying.

Yeap, comes with built-in noise cancellation. The older model uses the software method via PS3 to cancel out noise thus it won't do NC when you pair it with your phone, the revised model does.

guys quick question.. if i were to get the PS3 from the US.. and plan to bring it back to Msia.. are there any limitations??

i know that for blu ray movies there are limitations where i won't be able to play any asia blu rays.. (i this true?)

but in terms of games.. i can play games from anywhere right? games bought from msia can be played as well right??

Confirmation button will be switched if you are using US/CAD console (X for Confirm O for Cancel).

No, for Blu-Rays the Regions are the same. Region A.

For DVDs & PS1 it will be locked like usual, R1 for USA.

Other than that there are no other differences between each other. The plug might be different but no worries on the power compatibility since all PS3s come with a Universal Power Supply.

Quick question

Suppose I am using a Malaysian PSN ID.
I then purchase a R1 game that comes with redemption codes.
Do these codes work with my Malaysian PSN ID? Or do I actually need a R1 PSN
*
The latter.

thanks.. so basically getting the console here shouldn't be any problem?? so next time i can just hop in to any game store in msia and still able to buy any games and still able to play with the ps3 console right?

not necessary the games must be bought from US only they will work rite?? smile.gif

thanks for the help.. a newbie into this thingy.. hehe

Yes no restrictions if you're planning to play PS3 retail games. Blu-ray movies like stated before are limited to Region A and Free copies which isn't a problem if you're importing them from HK or the US.

The only real restriction would be old PS1 games and DVDs as the US region and Asian region are separated.

And also the issue of warranty. No cross regional warranty for PS3s. US Sets are tied to US only and so on.

Guys,My PS3 downstairs and my modem upstairs,when trying to get on9 via wireless,my PS3 could not connect any signal but when I shift my PS3 near my modem can connect,wireless or wired no problem.Is the problem related to my modem?Using Linksys WAG120N.

Probably out of range due to thick walls/ceiling. PS3 does not have Wi-Fi n.

^^ What sjn hassan said, different materials will give different results towards your wireless signal. Essentially you would want less things blocking your signal and also lesser distance from the broadcasting device.

Either that, or just go wired. The best method for performance ever.
