QUOTE(Odinsama @ Dec 6 2012, 06:21 AM) how much u spend for 500GB??  If memory serves, around RM160. I wanted to get SSD at first, but the price was too high for my budget.  Plus, I wasn't really sure if SATA 3 SSD would work on my PS3. |

QUOTE(Odinsama @ Dec 7 2012, 03:27 AM) Bob, where i can get all those HDD? u placed on your own or sent to the game store? I bought it at Lowyat Plaza. I replaced it myself (DIY). Very easy one. Lots of instructional video on YouTube.  |

QUOTE(Helz @ Dec 12 2012, 09:58 AM) hi, recently i update my ps3 firmware to 4.31 after that my ps3 always freeze when i play games, any solutions to fix this problem?   QUOTE(Helz @ Dec 12 2012, 11:49 AM) ^ yup..before update no problem can play for hours..after update sometimes play only for 10-20minutes then freeze  list of games that freeze especially when loading: -WOTS3/4 -FNC -WWE13 I had problems playing/loading games too. I'm on 4.31 also. But in my case I think the lens got dirty. Cleaned it, changed HDD to 500GB for good measure, and problem solved. Now playing MOH:Warfighter, Hitman Absolution, GT5 & White Knight Chronicles II. All running smoothly now. |

QUOTE(faridsuarez @ Dec 13 2012, 10:38 AM) thanks a lot mate..really appreciate..that game mentioned above still enjoyable although not playing online? tq If you like rpg games, try White Knight Chronicles 2. The disc comes with Chronicles 1 as well, so plenty of game time there. If you like FF12 (PS2), then you'll probably like this one coz the gameplay is quite similar. |

QUOTE(rayzy22 @ Dec 25 2012, 08:10 PM) hi guys, My phat PS3 is obviously aged more than 2 years and recently it start giving me yellow light almost every time i switch it on. however after restart it i can play as usual. What is advisable step do i need to take before it permanently dead? Is replacing thermal paste will do? better backup your files first, just in case.... nowadays can backup/copy savedata even if you're not PS+ member.... all you need is ext HDD with FAT32 format.....  |

QUOTE(tekplyrX @ Dec 26 2012, 01:16 AM) Well not all games can be copied to ext HDD/flash drives... e.g. vanquish R2 can't be copied I'm not sure about Vanquish though... have you tried copying recently? i mean, after the latest firmware? coz all of my games can be copied now.... maybe my games are the copy-able ones. |

QUOTE(tekplyrX @ Dec 26 2012, 10:41 PM) Yup.. just tried with the latest firmware and still can't copy , even mass effect 3 r1 psn version too That means these games can't use the Backup/Restore option too, right? Seems like PS+ is the only option then. |
