I turn off ps3 just now
But suddenly i heard a beep and it turn on by itself

But its not actually turn on
The green light keeps blinking
Press for long time also no use.turn off power and on again

Works ok now but just curious..what is it like that??
*
the ps3 didn't shutdown properly (hdd activity still ongoing)

hence it will restart itself after you press the power button

Hello

I got a dell ultrasharp u2312hm and I was thinking of hooking it up to my ps3.

So my question is it better to use vga to hdmi or dvi to hdmi cables. My second question is since the monitor doesn't produce sound, is there any way for me to get the sound going when using this monitor?

Thanks
*
hdmi to dvi adapter/cable for display output

as for sound, ps3 can output

1) Sony ps3 headset
2) multi-av connection (analog connection) to speaker/amp
3) optical output

1-  u have to play back the game right? since save data following the profiles
2- can we play the r3 dlc?
*
1. yes ... save data tied to each psnid

2. yes its possible

e.g. i download dlc from asia psn, using r3 game ... killzone 3

then use my us psnid to play the game (dlc is accessible)

I purchased a costume dlc for dead or alive 5 ultimate with my Malaysia psn ID and to my horror, I couldn't unlock the costumes due to the ps3 game is from Europe region.

If I happen to buy a region 3 dead or alive 5 ultimate game, could I unlock the costumes dlc I purchased with my Malaysia psn ID.

If I create a Europe psn ID, and would like to unlock the dlc costume, then I would need to purchase it from a Europe ID. Would that be correct?

A newbie to ps3

r3 game, dlc must be purchased/code redeem from asian psn store (using asian psnid)

same with r2 ones, europe psn store (eu psnid)

Hey guys,

Not sure if this is the right place.

I recently just bought a PS3 super slim 500GB, is it normal that whenever I play GTA the PS3 will have the reading disc sound? It happens often.

But my game is not laggy or anything. Just the reading disc sound comes on quite often.

Really need some clarification.

Thank you.

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
*
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.

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