hi, wat is the best way to transfer data from old ps3 to new ps3?
Using the Data Transfer Utility on the xmb menu or backup data to external HDD?

data transfer utility is the best way.

if you already backup to external HDD then just recover your data from the external HDD.

I have one weird question.. I dont know if anyone is getting what im getting.. and should have posted this earlier.

Not recently but after the latest firmware update (i dont remember the number). My ps3 started to reset or just red blinks.

Some people said it might be the symptoms of YLOD but the weird thing is, it only happen on certain games and rarely happen.

sometimes after a minute in a game it happen, I turned it on again and I can play for hours and nothing happens. One of those game that i play and this happened is KZ3, Uncharted 2, and MW2(before the update it didnt happen).

The weirder thing is; I can play Dead Space 2 flawlessly for hours completing the campaign without any probs.

I'm suspecting is the firmware but I can't really tell if anyone faced this yet.

Any idea, dear people?
*
firmware updates are not the cause of ps3 hardware failure. 2 of the games you mentioned, uses a lot of processing power. so your ps3 is getting ylod symptoms.

I would like to know if I could use another browser other than the one that comes with the ps3 ? This browser is not very friendly and can't even view my yahoo message properly.

TQ

no, you are stuck with it and the ps3 was made for games & movies. if you wanna surf the net, do it on your pc.

start saving money for a new slim ps3. your fat will eventually die and even if you repair it, the problem will come back.

guys. WTA, my old phat ps3 died recently and kenot revived... already try change the thermal paste, heatgun... etc..
so, how can i transfer my data to my new ps3? or if kenot, at least i can transfer my PSN ID.. coz i read PSN ID shud be deactivate 1st then only can recover to new PS3..
*
if you didn't deactivate your psn id on your old ps3, then you can not use it on your new ps3. all your trophies and psn games are locked to your psn id and unless you deactive it, you cannot transfer your trophies and psn games to your new ps3.

the only other way to deactivate your psn id is to call sony tech support. you can find their phone number at the malaysia playstation website.

Guys,

My ps3 slim is having issue with heat. I suspect that its cause by the faulty logic board but is there any other factor that might contribute to it? A faulty fan, PSU?

Ooo before anyone ask, the console is place in an open area and the fan/air vent is clean from time to time.
*
could be anything. send back to sony for repairs.

Er did I miss something, why will it fry your PS3?
So ahh is it actually safe to upgrade PS3 HDD???
*
safe but also depend on your luck and what type of HDD you upgrade.

so if you don't wanna push your luck, just stick to the stock HDD like me, unless you got nothing better to do.

if you want your HDD to have a long gaming life, it's advisable to use an external HDD or USB thumb drive for other media.

that way, your game won't suddenly die on you because of HDD failure.

the people who can speak those langauges have money. the people who can't speak those languages especially english are usually poor. nothing to do with race. it's all about money. big corporations like sony don't care about race. they only care about money.
