QUOTE(munzamir @ Mar 23 2011, 03:09 PM) they said it depends on the problem.. i have not repaired my 80GB set yet.. Can pay extra to extend longer warranty?I really scare the repair fees will be almost the same as buying a new one  |

QUOTE(eazea1 @ Mar 27 2011, 02:10 AM) lol i'm just an ordinary human, got temptation and desire..cant wait to play gt5 etc...i believe a lot of people r still buying phat recond sets with the hope everything will be just fine at least for a year or so, reason: dont have enuf money but want to own one and play, thats normal, man...but i agree with u that its risky , u got the points there lol U get wat u paid.Pay less,higher risk.Pay more,lower risk.Ur money,ur call. Lucky enough,it might last at least 1 year before going to hibernation. Unlucky,first month got lens problem,YLOD and etc.U cry and regret to spend 400 bucks for it.

QUOTE(eazea1 @ Mar 27 2011, 02:44 AM) ok ok bro...in theory it works like that...but in reality it depends how u handle and play the machine too, here we are not comparing btween a genuine product and an imitation one, it is comparing btween a genuine latest version with a genuine previous version... I dont think that the previous version is all that bad although they were more chances to get faulty...so i think we should not exaggerate too much abt the ps3 phat risk of ylod...in terms of recond, that depends on the previous users, we just dont know, so there r risk...but then for me, i would rather fork out money to repair on something that i have enjoyed using rather than paying for road traffic summons lol seems that i'm off topic here, i just give an analogy that some people would like to save money on something but on the other hand, they have to pay on another  There is a poll here before comparing the rate of Phat PS3 which has YLOD compared to PS3 slim.U will be surprised to look at the results. But then some PS3 phat still survived after 3-4 years of using and that's rare.We have seen too much complains and cases of PS3 phat getting YLOD and thus we gave u such advice. Well,it's ur money so it's ur choice.U got ur own reason and we respect it.We r juz saying that it's not worth but it's ur call anyway |

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Mar 31 2011, 03:53 AM) ok i will keep that in mind. . even so may i know how much is the new+unmodded ps3 atm? my friend said SG unit cheaper.. SG unit is cheaper but it's hassle when u send it for RMA coz Malaysia Sony dont accept SG unit PS3.Btw,u can convert back software modded PS3 to the original firmware but ur PSN ID will be banned as soon as u goes online.Modded PS3 usually cannot play online. |

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Mar 31 2011, 05:32 PM) ok.. if situation like this.. the console is new.. then I mod the console via software way (idk what im talking about).. and i play any game offline (never go online).. then i revert back the mod thing.. and i use original game and play online.. so Sony still will ban my console base on MAC address? U can software mod ur PS3 but revert back by applying official firmware since software modding means using custom firmware but when u goes online,Sony will ban based on ur MAC address,not PSN ID.This is because when u goes online,Sony will detect any illegal activities in ur PS3.Mod ur PS3 and goes online,say bai bai to online gaming. Anyway,we support original here so no more modding topic please This post has been edited by Duckies: Mar 31 2011, 10:00 PM |

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Apr 2 2011, 02:50 AM) thanks.. i am fully aware about modding topic discussion is forbidden here.. thats why i need to know how harm modding ps3 can be.. its like im looking for reasons why not mode.. i see.. so theres no way i can avoid being banned.. my friend told he online before using the ps3 and he got warning email from Sony.. does that count as ban notice? coz he told Sony asked him to revert everything he'd modded into original state..he never online anymore after that.. well i already got the ps3 slim 160gb.. tested on 40inch lcd tv.. super awesome.. if can go online would be more entertain.. but as u told.. theres no way to avoid..  U can try revert back by applying official firmware (if u software modding it through custom firmware) and go online.Hopefully Sony wont notice it |

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Apr 3 2011, 05:37 PM) so far.. tried various genre game.. naruto storm 3, grand turismo 5, mgs n little big planet.. maybe i got bored bcoz im not skillful to play those game.. btw i need some opinion.. if this question illegal.. ignore it.. RM900 for 5months used ps3+hdmi cable+lots of game (not blu ray) and as been told no more warranty from shop.. idk sg or my unit.. is that worth? Not worth coz no more warranty.Most important thing about PS3 slim is the warranty.It will be very troublesome when something happened. |

QUOTE(TitaniumZ @ Apr 11 2011, 01:27 PM) Fellows, I'm now looking at getting either a cheap 32" 720P LCD TV or a 24" 1080P LED TV, budget wise is around RM1200, the cheaper the merrier. This TV is purely for PS2/Wii/PS3 gaming, as for movies I already have a 42" 1080P LCD TV to cover. So I would like to know whether it is worth to get high resolution over bigger screen size or vice versa. Normally i would go for a monitor since it's able to support pc and console.If u r going for monitor without 3D,u can try Samsung P2770H at RM1079 or Dell U2311H for RM609.For monitor,i usually like Samsung or Dell.LCD or LED TV would be Sharp,Sony and Samsung. Anyway,if u dont wan a monitor,i suggest u got for bigger size + higher resolution.To me,1080p is a must for gaming. This post has been edited by Duckies: Apr 11 2011, 02:27 PM |

QUOTE(TitaniumZ @ Apr 11 2011, 04:13 PM) I would like to use component video for PS2 and Wii therefore I'm looking for a TV because monitor with component video input is poor at upscaling so i'm afraid the PS2 and Wii games will look bad. While most PS3 games are 720P, and even downscale from 1080P will still look nice. So I would like to get opinion on higher resolution or bigger screen, of course a 32" 1080P LCD TV is best for both world but over my budget. I see.As u mentioned,since most PS3 games are 720p,getting a 1080p LCD TV dont help much then.I suggest go for bigger screen size.Unlike pc gaming,720p to 1080p is a huge difference. |

QUOTE(mingxhin @ Apr 11 2011, 05:01 PM) To me 720p should be enough, most games still only support 720p. I can count 17 out of 24 games I have only support up to 720p. Besides when I play in either 720p or 1080p resolution, I cannot see any difference. This based on my 24' monitor. Bigger than that maybe you can see the difference. This is wat i said earlier,it's not noticeable from 720p to 1080p for console at least to me but the difference is big for pc gaming. |
