hi all, need some help here as I'm very new to console
i recently got a used ps3 from another forumner here
inside already got 4 games so at first i thot it's a 'JB' unit and as usual tried to copy a game onto it
but just a while ago i think i found out it's not JB, it has firmware of 4.7 so i think the 4 games inside is Digital Copy...
ok nvm, not gonna ask about JB stuff. i wana know if I can go ahead upgrade to the latest firmware for my ps3? that is firmware 4.76 right? but before that i wana know these things below
- will it wipe the 4 games inside already?
- do i need to sign in to PSN to do so? since im a new owner of the ps3, can I sign in as my own PSN ID? how do i create a PSN ID?
- i currently have issue on the sound, after watching lots of youtube on how to connect and fix the issue. the thing is I can connect to bluetooth speakers but sound still comes out from my tv hdmi no matter what i changed, so im planning to upgrade the firmware

my PS3 info below
- Fat version with 80gb
- firmware version 4.7

Cheers and TIA
ps: sorry for mentioning JB, it's just for info, hope its fine

Need advise/help

My Ps3 slim wireless function stop working... So now no wireless connection (wired works). The biggest problem is that wireless controller also didn't work, need to connect using usb cable.

So, can this be fixed? Or can i use usb Bluetooth dongle?

Go ahead and upgrade to the latest firmware online. You will still keep those 4 games unless the account associated with it got deleted. You can create user id (in which associated with creation psn account - exisitng/new)

As for bluetooth speaker, ps3 doesn't support it. It only supports bluetooth headset for chat.

You can reset ds3 bluetooth connection on your controller (using a needle). Or worst use a long usb cable and plug in to play.

Can you set resolution to 720p on your samsung lcd monitor at ps3 display setting? and then test on plasma tv?

Mine going to be nearly 4 years and the first 2 years i wouldn't even bother to turn it off cause either i will be gaming or something is being downloaded. Back then i had psplus subscription so it will be downloading the games,and i had only 384kbps so it will stayed on for weeks. I think the general rule of thumb is that, just keep it well ventilated and dust them oftenly. So far never had any problem and till today i still game on it and watch netflix or youtube. Just keep them ventilated and i raised mine about an inch from the base and i believe you can reduce the chances of it getting ylod. Happy gaming smile.gif

I read somewhere once that one way to prevent YLOD is to let the PS3 auto shut down after finish playing. Use the auto shut down feature of the PS3. I set mine to auto shut down after 1 hour of inactivity. This way the PS3 fan will keep on blowing and cooling the CPU when we are not using it rather than shutting down and turning off the fan. Never turn it OFF immediately after finish playing. I've had my PS3 Slim since 2012 and been using that method. Plus I put a cooler master below the cables at the back so that all the hot air will be blown out and up.

When I'm playing can sometimes get to 12 hours non-stop playing Madden, Far Cry 3, Borderlands 2 and especially since Skyrim Remastered came out. Got me back into the game and its been a pretty loooooonnnngggg gaming session. biggrin.gif That would make it like 30-40 hours a week if I'm on a marathon.

The longest is 14 hours non-stop I think. thumbup.gif Once I decided to stop, I just let the game pause and leave it like that. It will auto shut down after 1 hour and look after the CPU.

12 gb was previously special release in Europe and does not come with a hard drive. It was sold to accommodate gamers who want to put in their own hard drive (if I recall correctly) and was cheaper than standard 500 gb.

Why price still ex? Cause it's still a great system with great games. Long may it continue.

So does it have warranty on sony malaysia where 12GB is cheaper ?
Still RM999 for ps3 where ps4 slim only RM1150.
Games still sold at ps3 ? I though all shift to ps4.

Not sure for the 12 GB version. It maybe store warranty only since I don't recall Sony Malaysia releasing 12 GB version (or SEA region at least).

Yes still got ps3 games. Sony has not discontinued PS3 btw so there are still some games development for it.

My PS4 dual shock R2 button spring seems to be loose. After clicking it wont return to its original position 100%. Is there a shop to repair this or a broken R2 = Death of dual shock?

Lots of game requires tapping R2 rapidly. Would be a waste to buy a new controller just because of a broken R2.
