I forgot Dead Space 2. If you love scary games then this is a must play for you. I absolutely loved it and it's about 20+ hours of gameplay.

yes from my personal experienced the customer service very good , plus their staff very knowledgeable in all products that available @ sony style the curve .... compared to sony centre ikano , the customer service just average ..

sony style the curve will give you some vouchers for the next purchase , if you become sony style members .. they will give you points nod.gif

I was at a game shop, looking for a ps3 unit.
Got the guy to open the box and noticed it was unsealed. So I asked why is it so? The reply was "We always test each unit before accepting from our supplier".
Ok, I can accept this reply.

Then was checking out the controller. It has pretty much all that is mentioned below:
How to spot a fake PS3 controller

Especially the sticker part, which contains very little information, compared to the original.

So, just walk out, without anything..

Try this one. Looks good just got no resit. Maybe you can COD somewhere in Sony center and ask on the spot to check if got warranty. Good value for that price if Sony Center can give warranty.

Or do this reset as per post No. 1


Q) How do reset the PS3 display settings. (e.g. moving from SDTV<->HDTV)?
A) The factory reset is probably what you need to try next. Hold down the power button (with the back power switch in the on position) for 10+ seconds till you hear multiple beeps. Once the reset is done, when you power up, the ps3 should auto-detect the HDMI connection. - Ninja

when it auto detect your hdmi cable, untick the 1080p reso.
hope this will help

sometimes on off the tv when itbecomes blank might solved problem temporarily.. and you can change the display setting in the display setting. this is base on my experience with Sharp LCD tv..
