haha the pega stand is quite noisy...i also using one now for my 2nd slim.

and to chianky, thats what my ps3 slim did b4 it died. motherboard problem possibly, get a new slim like gamers here said.

its called sharing...alot of players do it anyway. i personally have 1 acc that i share with 3 friends so we group buy stuff sometimes.

not recommended to share main account tho. also, if u wanna leave ps3 overnight make sure its properly cooled. keep a fan on it or in air cond room.

thats because when u on psn and downloading in background, some games with multiplayer features will disable your downloads.

its symptoms of a failing ps3. for me it meant getting a new ps3.

its slim's plastic case expanding due to heat. its perfectly normal.

should be bout 11xx for 160g my set around kl.

well if u plan to stay there long term, no harm in buying r4 games i guess.

though i personally haven't buy any b4.

my personal preference is r3 > r1 > r2.

new price of ps3s are cech 3k series or still 2.5k series? hmm

the were some talks of inferior heat sinks and design for the 3k series when vs the 2.5k series.

don't know whether its true or not.

one thing that i learned THIS gen is, "don't buy new console at launch". i have learned my lesson.

even if ps4 launch next year or 2013, i will wait for the inevitable 2nd version aka ps4 slims or whatever.

i lost xbox360 to rrod(1year 8 months), i lost ps3 to ylod(1year 4 months) this gen. its too fragile. my ps2 phat which is almost 10 years still working lol.

i hope next gen will have better cooling system for all consoles, heat is a killer of consoles, especially for us asians.

its not a good idea to buy sg set anyway haha. unless u really feel lucky!

since its only been 1 month u should bring it to sony centre to claim warranty. has this happen often? or just once.
