Yeah I wanna know too. 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 user posted image

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.

Dear PlayStation®3 / PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) customer,

After the PlayStation®Network maintenance scheduled on November 18, 2011, SCE will change the number of devices that can be activated on one PSN account for gaming contents bought through PlayStation®Store as follows:

For those game contents bought on or after 18 November, 2011 when the maintenance has completed, a new rule will apply and the number of devices that can be activated will change.

PS3™: Users will be able to play the game contents on a maximum of 2 activated PS3™ systems.
PSP®: Users will be able to play the game contents on a maximum of 2 activated portable devices (*) 

For those game contents bought before 18 November, 2011, the current rule will apply and the number of devices that can be activated will not change

PS3™: Users will be able to play the game contents on a maximum of 5 activated PS3™ systems.
PSP®: Users will be able to play the game contents on a maximum of 5 activated portable devices (*).

(*) Portable devices refer to PSP-1000/2000/3000 series, PSP go, and PlayStation®Vita after its release, where applicable.

Consumers are able to change the activation setting through each device but in view of this change, SCE will provide a PSN account management website in the near future where users will also be able to deactivate the devices of their PSN accounts via PC, further enhancing the user experience. Details including launch schedule of this website will be announced later.

For more information about device activation/ deactivation, please visit this webpage:
http://asia.playstation.com/my/en/news/lat...wsDetail/247536

We have decided to bring this change in light of the actual conditions of this feature, such as the utilization rate, with careful consideration of how we would be able to further strengthen the protection of the content IP and at the same time providing alternative solution or convenient service to users. We appreciate your kind understanding and continued support.

Remarks
*1 We will update the detailed timing of the maintenance as soon as it is confirmed through asia.playstation.com.
*2 In principle, free to download contents will also be affected by this change. Please make sure to check the content description of each content if this is the case or not. The change will apply to game contents only and will not apply to video or comic content.

wooottt!!!! splash blue ps3 available at RM972.50. SG set. damn tempting man! ps3 cannot transfer data and trophy right?

data can be transfered but trophies are saved on PSN. so you just need to synchronize your trophies on psn with your new ps3 to get back your trophies.

can ps3 play srt files? or need to use linux?
*
if you mean subtitles, then ps3 cannot play srt files. you will need to use an encoder like handbrake for that.

you burn the subtitles into the video file with the encoder on pc first. after that, you can watch it on ps3 with subtitles displayed on your tv.

slim ps3 does have a lower chance of YLOD but that also depends on how you use it. if you play 24/7 like you have no life, then it will sure get YLOD. tongue.gif

hey guys, recently I got a PS3 and it will be my main Blu Ray player. Just wanna know what you get set for the RGB Full Range setting on the PS3 when connecting to a HDTV. Either Limited or Full?
*
I set it to Full on my PS3 because it looks great on my SHARP Tv.

For RGB video signals, the range of color scale that is input varies depending on the TV in use. If the color don't seem right to you, then set it to Limited.

Tonight go home will try again.

There's nothing wrong with PSN. It's only affecting UNIFI users. Streamyx users all can log in without any problems. I also checked with my PSN friends from US & EU and they say there's no problem with PSN for them.

I am also on Streamyx but mine is 4MB and I didn't had any problems when I downloaded some games from PS store yesterday.

Anyway, MX510 reported on Broadband forum that 75GB lost on TM international connectivity & repairs are to be completed on 13 January.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1915183/+2240

That will explain why some of you got problems.
