QUOTE(ramz @ Jul 23 2013, 12:48 PM) 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? might be lens K.O

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Jul 23 2013, 03:37 PM) But once it read no problem for hours until I off and on again. Maybe the bracket holding the disc is out of position when it's not spinning the disc. I afraid if send to shop they just would simply say lens error and charge Me a bomb.

Yup i did have those problem,last time not that much but lately became severe and i decided to change the dns number in my router.Try to log into your router and change the primary dns to 208.67.222.222 and secondary dns to 208.67.220.220.See whether its help or not,mine works fine since then.Good luck

For that price range usually will be arond 23 - 24" sizes from decent brands like Philips, Samsung, etc. Make sure you get one with HDMI connection, Full HD, and audio output as well (if you dont want to hook up to speakers separately). If you can go for 32" tv will likely be china branded types. Or I can sell you my Viewsonic 24" which have serves me well for 4 yrs now for RM 400  . No pixel problems, has good audio out, and accepts both HDMI & DVI inputs.

Thanks again man. Appreciate. Mine's a monitor. Bought at RM 799 previously. Now of course can get cheaper oneslah. I think there are also 24" or 27" TVs being sold but maybe in the region of RM 500+.

After download the DLC from R2 PSN store and install it, you can change back to main account (MY PSN account) and play the game, the DLC will work on your main account.

I know from experience assassins creed series saves r not compatible between regions. Dont know bout battlefield.

But if you're planning on playing battlefield mp then be sure to buy an r3 disc as their online codes are not cross region compatible. So your r1 downloaded bf3 code will not work w your r3 bf3 disc.

Ok sorry maybe I didn't ask properly. I meant if for example I have an R1 PSN version game and then decided to buy the disk version also R1. Will the saves and trophies be there when I load the game using disk and be able to continue the game and so on? Same thing if I have the R1 disk and then got the PSN version?
