this lens problem at the front page, does it still plague the ps3??if so lets say the unit is still under warranty can get fixed but if not, how much will it cost??

also how is the reliability of the new slims being released??any issues??

you know it used to be very easy buying consoles...these days you need a wealth of info.from price to place to buy and to how to take care of them.

one more thing, this might sound stupid, but hows the security of the psn??i mean were connecting the consoles to internet...virus and etc x kacau ka? ohmy.gif

if still under warranty,just simply sent it to service center for repair.so far the new slim is much better from phat.for the virus thing i dont think PS3 can get affected laugh.gif

why not you buy LCD tv ?

lcd pun i aiming 1 model too but all of sudden this plasma also in the same price range...thats why im confused now wch to choose...quality wise, reliability wise and etc biggrin.gif

QUOTE(sjn hassan @ Jul 11 2011, 08:21 PM)
i can't really remember the time to burnout the TV..if not mistaken 100Hours...just use the TV normally but the contrast / brightness / color not more than 50 (it got from 1-100)....after the burning time u can set as u wish..but if not mistaken my brightness only 5x tongue.gif
LCD is not as good as Plasma  laugh.gif

oo itu mcm ka..so that means we need to be careful for the 1st 100hrs, after that its safe.

depends on how you use it. if you play like a troll 24/7 then it will die off after 1 year.

kohkoh 24/7...then again...sony didnt test it??i mean 24/7 is that bad for a machine or should it be normal?

let me give you an example. on my old fat ps3, i had 12 hour marathons playing White Knight Chronicles for 3 days grinding for loot. a few days later, it had YLOD symptoms. everytime i try to switch it on, it would beep 3 times and shut down by itself. that's when i realized i killed my ps3 by playing it like that.

slim ps3 won't die so easily as the fat ps3 but better to take care of it instead of abusing it like a troll 24/7. i guess the slim can last as long as 5 years if you take care of it.
*
hooo itu mcm...hmm with work, tv and all i think getting 2-4 hrs a week pun susah kohkoh.

lets if you play alot but not on marathons per say 7-8 hrs but spaced out lets say 2 hrs each or some thing like that, should it be ok right?

fuu this psn account thingy is confusing then choosing a ps3.

you buy a ps3--?you register for warranty--then do you have to cr8 a psn account or its just an option for you to get online(goodies, games lan etc etc and all the thing that comes with the internet)

i thought ps3 games pakai disc??bla masa ada download pulak??this download like pc games ka(you some what install)??

man i have a long way and a lot to know before my time of consoling arrives....
