guys.. cech 3004b is europe /middle east ps3 right?

does it make any difference since we are in malaysia?
shud i purchase it or look for malaysia /sg ps3
*
yes .. 04 europe / middle east region code for the Playstation 3 console

i don't think it makes huge difference .. for Playstation 3 games , you can play any region ( all PS3 games are region free @ no region protection ) .. for blu-ray movies your console would be region B .. for DVD movies region 2

meanwhile most of blu-ray movies in malaysia would be region A ( only some of them are region free ) , for DVD movies region 3

There will be a patch "soon" (Sony says tomorrow) that users can download onto their thumbdrive, boot the PS3 up in safe mode and then update the PS3 again.
4.45 didn't actually kill the system, more like there is a glitch in the code where the PS3 doesn't virtually see one or more components (in this case, a lot are saying a non-stock HDD) not being connected.

any link bro regarding the firmware patch ?

My PS3 lately can't read the original blueray games properly. When i insert the disc, it makes some funny noise like tik tik tik tik.......and ends with a loud TAKETAK! No disc icon is display on the TV. What i do next is eject and put in , eject and put in, eject and put in many times and eventually (always successful) will be able to load. how many times before it is successful varies. between twice and 12 times.

why? any ideas how i can resolve this?

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask.
I have a PS3 which bought 2 yrs ago and I seldom play it. Therefore I lend it to my cousin so that he can fully utilize my PS3 and recently I wan get it back for GOW ascension. However, I discovered that he installed CFW 3.55 on my PS3  vmad.gif
Now, I can't play any game due to the CFW. I want to restore it to the original state, how do I do that? Just install the latest PS3 firmware like I used to do previously? or I need to format the entire hard disk so that I will not get ban by the PSN?
It's been quite some time since I last used my PS3, world change and things change, anyone mind to PM me the step by step guide to restore to OFW?

Sorry if I offended some of the rules but i really need help... icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

just update the console with official firmware , should be fine icon_rolleyes.gif

My PS3 (Phat) is dead (due to YLOD), although it may come back alive once is a while thus it is highly unreliable.

And since PS4 is unable to play PS3 games, therefore, I am looking at purchasing a replacement PS3 (hoping that the price comes down significantly after PS4 is out).

I would like to know which model is the most reliable (with the least possibility of hardware failure) model of the PS3.


So far I prefer new and unmodded units. But if the modded model is cheap enough (and most importantly reliable) then I may have a look at that as an option too.

Thank you.

ps3 slim cech-3000 series & ps3 super slim cech-4000 series at the moment very reliable .. say no to modded console bro , not worth at all

Good day to you shifus/cikgus,

I would like to know what will be the consequences of buying a wrong region ps3 games to play

I bought a game without realizing its region. my ps3 is Singapore set (r3 am I right)??

How to see whether the game is from which region, is it stated in the box?

When I play the game, if is functioning, but the screen smaller, and it hang halfway...keep in loading page for 15minutes.

may I know is that the symptom of buying wrng region games? please advise.

Hi guys,

Would like to ask if anyone knows a place or two to repair PS3? Currently I'm facing the three beeps and then flashing red LED and some says it's YLOD and some disagree. I dunno.

Anyway, I am confident that the power supply is the culprit as the USB ports also sometimes fail to power USB connected device, e.g. controllers, HDD, camera, etc, and this is random between the two ports.

Anyone knows places to repair them and estimated cost of power supply replacement?

My model number is CECH-2006B, Limited Lightning Edition PS3.
