planning to get a PS3... any kind soul would enlightened me the pro and con between the slim and super slim version... thx in advance...
*
Slim:

the blu-ray slides from the front.

More bulkier

Matte finish

Maximum hdd size is 320gb

Super Slim:

As the title said, a trimmer version of the its slim brother:

The disc tray is mounted on top rather than the front just like the ps1 and ps2

Maximum hdd size is 500gb.

The controllers are the same which is the DS3 (wireless) and has a built in hdmi.

My suggestion is go for the latest one which is the super slim, while many didn't like the top loader because it looks a bit clunky but I think it will be just fine. And of course the large hdd space is a big plus. But if you want to buy the slim version is also alright ( I own one thumbup.gif ). Just make sure u have the warranty in case the console encounters some problems.

Here's a pic of the different versions of the ps3

Hmm , my ps3 is lagging quite badly recently especially when playing games that are from psn. I'm hoping that the hdd is not dying cry.gif . If it's , can suggest any decent brand of external hdd to transfer the data? So that i can perform the formatting. And how to make the external hdd into fat32? Cheers icon_question.gif

Something from Seagate or Western Digital is fine.
You can use something like FAT32 Format to do so.
Depending on the game entirely.
There are games which can load another region's save file up and there are also games which doesn't.

To add to the confusion, there are games which doesn't even load a savefile despite the fact that both games are on the same region but in different formats — disc and digital.

Ok thnx bro, usually how long will it take to format the whole PS3?

hi guys , just wanna ask how to spot fake and real controller ? the seller told me fake controllers have a little hard on the analog stick while original controller isnt is it true ? and by looking at this youtube video >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01XeUJSXKqs , all my controller stickers are the fake ones , please help ? @.@

hi there, the sticker is generally a good indicator to identify whether your controller is legit. Though be aware that if you have a different serial number at the back controller like CECHZC2U or CHECHZC2H A1 it doesn't mean you have a fake controller.

Just watch out for the pricing (usually a new DS3 would cost rm 150 , other than that try and buy from authorized dealers if u ever feel in doubt.

guys, previously i had PS3 (the phat 40gb one). Send for repair, twice has been revive from the dead (YLOD). Now, its already Sayonara. No longer can turn on.

Now, im planning to buy a new PS3 (in dilemma between Slim or Super Slim??  hmm.gif  rclxub.gif )

Questions
1) Can i log in to the new PS3 by using the current ID? or do i have to register a new one?
2) i forgot to do back up for all the DLC i have in the old PS3, so i guess thats sayonara too? (Buying the DLC with 5 other frens)
3) PS3 Slim or PS3 Super Slim? whats the difference? any recommendation?

thank you

hi there,

1) Yes you can , no u dont have to create a new one, if your psn account is already sync with the trophies then you're good to go with a new PS3.

2) Yep its gone but it should be available for download in the PS store for which the account it's tied in.

3) Just go for the latest hardware, the super slim that is.
