Hi guys, yesterday I just bought FF:XIII. During the game play, my tv screen keep jumping[like there was electrical interference] in certain time. So I was wonder is it my tv problem or the disc problem? My tv is old version(only have RCA cable only) However is fine if I play RE:5 and SSF:AE.

well to be sure it is not electrical problem try to put a voltage stabilizer between your ps3 & tv from your wall plug.

1) highly recommend for MY set... a peace of mind

2) model 25xx supposedly replaced by model 30xx. Try pm few sellers in garage sales section.

3) i'm not sure what's the firmware installed in model 30xx... might be fw 3.60, nevertheless just install fw 3.70 no prob so far.

4) EA titles usually region r3 (the cheapest)

5) Firstly make your own MY PSNID account, and then register US, EU, SG, etc to access psn stores.

thanks.i google the difference between model 2000 and 3000
the pros of 3000 is that it reduce noises,its more lighter ??
but the cons are like a lot,i heard the hdmi port is different(looks like cheap),overall design looks cheap,theere no led light except at the hdd.(seriously this suck),if im playing in dark.how ?
the ps logo near the disc is like image,not pop out 3d(its not 3d,dunno how to say),i mean the older model,i think u can feel and touch the ps logo,while the new model is like distray i think,the heatsink is smaller, ..

--im not sure bout this,i just read some comments at some websites . dunno how true is this ,can't find images of video of it.

model 2xxx cosmetically better looking than model 3xxx

model 3xxx however is the latest model... sporting all black, also in the near future variety of colours

up to you which model u wanna get.... the function still the same

for one ps3 system, you can have maximum of 16 users (each tied to specific psn id). As for recommendation on psn id, better have MY psn id and US psn id. For others too if u don't mind.

Hi, may I ask where did you get the comparison? I'm bad at googling, I haven't gotten my answer.

"First word of a new "CECH-3000" model PlayStation 3 surfaced earlier this month. Now a retailer, claiming to have received a briefing on the new model from Sony, has passed along some details.

The CECH-3000B is an updated 320 gigabyte system. It cuts power consumption from 230W to 200W, and cuts weight from 3.0kg to 2.6kg. There are also some external changes to the power and eject buttons, along with the removal of LED lamps, although the retailer report isn't clear about the specifics for this area.

Pricing remains the same as the current model. The new version will be shipped to retailers once current stock runs out."

UPDATE:

- The Cell will NOT be going to 32nm, both will stay at 45/40nm. PSU is the same.
- It's confirmed that all LED lights have been removed (wifi, hdd, and under power/eject buttons).
- The Sony logo is now engraved and black not white.
- PS logo above the disc slot is now a simple flat picture, instead of a 3D lithograph.
- The size of the fan has been reduced from 120mm to 80mm along with changes to the heatsink.
- Several smaller components on the motherboard have been removed.



this is actually not a comparison side by side,just few new things on the 3000 model. there another one, but i can't remember what the site name

Ah thanks so much.

From what I gather, basically it's a cost cut version. I don't really need a lighter PS3 as I'm not going to carry it around.

But one thing concerns me is that, Smaller fan = heats up faster? Also, even if I buy the older models, I won't be loosing much right? Like I can still update to the latest, play the latest games without lagging?
