QUOTE(Caterpillar_3309 @ Sep 21 2011, 11:20 PM) Thanks bro. I knew I can get something out of the LAN ports. Regarding the "router that supports 3g modem", can you explain a lil' bit more? That's mean those router that support 3G modem plug in, got USB slot and can plug in 3G USB modem to oporate as the internet sources. as below for example: Im using Huawei E220 and Maxis BB with it.............i using Wi-Fi connect to my PS3, playing SSF4 and UC2, GT5 seem okay..........

Wow thanks bro. So this is how it looks like la. Going to google it for prices Another noobie question, this Aztech device transmits wifi signal and the PS3 picks it up, right? Can we put password for the wifi signal? I'm afraid somebody can suck my signal and leaving me swearing all the time. Speaking of wifi signal, is it bulletproof against those evil devices that hack and steal others' password and wifi signal even though it is password-protected?

Nothing is bullet-proof.There's a will,there's a a way.Try to use WPA password encryption instead of WEP.WEP is not secured seriously.Heard of Wifi hack? IMHO,WPA can be hack too if u have proper knowledge. This post has been edited by Duckies: Sep 22 2011, 02:20 PM

If u dont want use wifi, use LAN cable also can, i get more stable signal using LAN lo. and sure no one can hack in, coz wifi of this router u off it.

The other day, I asked a shop who sells PS3 stuff at my hometown why they're selling higher priced PS3 games and accessories, he answered that all those online stuff are made in China and not 100% ori. Wtf? Very lame and stupid answer

Wtf? Very lame and stupid answer  2 reasons why they sell DS3 cheaper: A) they are selling DS3 imported from other regions like US or EU which is actually cheaper then the ones sold locally by Sony. B) they are selling fake DS3. This post has been edited by nwk: Sep 23 2011, 10:40 AM

if i read below warranty (spoiler) earlier sure wont buy SG PS3 really curious how local shop that selling SG PS3 wanna claimed warranty , the shop sell to me said warranty send to SG FOC, really wonder are they really sending it to SONY SG or they will repaired it by their own and charge us the repaired charges » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 7. Can I put a Malaysian address in the warranty registration if I have SG set PS3? No because these PS3s are parallel imports and during that time we purchase, PS3 is not yet launched officially here, all SG sets are expected to be bought from within Singapore *only*. [ 8. Can I simply put a fake SG address in the warranty registration? When you register for warranty, you NEED to give a VALID Singapore address and a VALID Singapore contact no. Don't simply key in 69-A, Suka Hati Street, SG 123456 , 0298765432
I think address not that important la because they won't ask that much. You just need to confirm with them that the address you key-in during the warranty registration on the PlayStation website tallies with the one they display on their system. BUT contact no must be valid to make you reachable to them once the repair is done.[/B]8. Wow, so much trouble la all this. Is there any other alternative to get my PS3 fixed? Yes, you can try and get them fixed at Gamers Solution (bernard moh) or PSZone (nelsonkoay) just to name a few. But unfortunately our local shops are only able to fixed died lens at this time of writing. Maybe in due time, they are able to fix much more faulty PS3 causes i.e no display / no LAN. But be warned, your warranty will be voided. ** REMEMBER, YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR PS3 via their website BEFORE making any warranty claims. You can do so here: https://www.playstation.com.hk/warrant_mem/member/login.jsp (This is true for PS3 SG only). ** ** LAST but not least, BEST OF LUCK !! ** This post has been edited by azizul9736: Sep 24 2011, 12:07 PM
