Erm guys. I've been thinking about buying a PS3 . I just want to know whether a player can play with other players in different region if they have different PSN region.

For example, will I be able to play with US players if my PSN region is Malaysia or SG?

oooh. my TV does tat..it has a 'clicking' sound when i turn on my ps3...

msia still dun have psn yet, and u can play with ppl from other region as well

Yes im on LCD TV,but this doesn't happen till i upgrade to 1.93.

hehhe .. that i cannot explain lar ... hehe ...

or maybe after the upgrade, the ps3 is trying harder to output blacker than black black ... thus causing your lcd to react such way hahaha

yeah... using lcd.. but mine is a samsung and they say if u switch it to movie mode there wont be those auto dim thingy... and so far i dunt see any auto dim with movie mode... hrmm.. maybe later go home try other modes... maybe switch on game mode test..

Can I use US PSN if i have Asian PS3 console?

yeah u can.. actually u can have any PSN acc no matter what console.. u just need that specific country's address thats all

Not that much of the problem actually since it doesn't happen when playing game or view pic,view movie on PS3.Also happen when loading a game and the PS3 logo come out.
Just wondering why does it happen.

mine oso happens when i
a)turn on the PS3 and
b)put disc into PS3 (loading disc)

i always tot its like tat...cos when i buy oso like tat oledi.....

hey guys,

Got a question here, I just got the blu-ray trilogy of Spiderman ( release today in Aus )

Anybody can tell you the reason why we cant get full screen on my LCD TV. My highest Res is 720P / 1080i.

Would it be due to the reason my TV is not 1080P therefore I can get full screen. Is annoying with the black bars at the top and the bottom.

Spiderman 1 is full screen though, look so much better. Although I did realise there the box behind spiderman 1 is running on a different kind of rez ( 1.85:1) where spidey 2 & 3 was ( 2.40:1 ) which majority of the movies are.

Anybody know whether is it due to my TV not having 1080P or is it normal?

thanks

Cheers

Guys, How does the debit AM bank card work..not sure whether its the real name..

How do I use it?

Wah!!! Spidey Trilogy BD release already?!! . Well you've answered your own question there, the reason for the black bars on top n bottom is bcoz of the aspect ratio of the movie.

dante, the aspect ratio for 2.4:1 is wider than 1.85, therefore, in order to fit the wider image on ur screen, u'll see more of the cropping or letterbox as we call it.

Hey people,

thanks for all the reply. If thats the case, would it mean if your LCD is wider you can probably get a full screen?

Mine is only 40 inch, probably thats the reason behind it?

thanks

All widescreen tv have a ratio of 16:9 so no matter how big is your tv, you'll still get the black bars.

exactly.. its the ratio, not the size of your screen.
do the math..

Wow!!! Can you give a review for the video and audio quality of the trilogy? Does it hv 2 versions of Spiderman2?

And about the aspect ratio, nowadays filmmakers prefer the (2.40:1) which i not favor, and im afraid in the near future, there will be a new standard TV ratio which is 21:9

hey,

I tested all 3 movies yesterday. Going to watch Spidey 3 this Friday night. I live in an apartment, so cant blast my volume too loud.

But sound is still good to me.

Video quality is excellent compare to 300 ( Grainy ) , but the black bars are very annoying. I havent really watch many BD-movies. Just started renting BD movies and games from another state here in Australia.

I just watched Talledega Nights on BD ( darn funny ).

Highly recommend Spiderman to everyone if you are a huge FAN.

A bit sad due to Transfomers wont be coming to BD.

To me personally I see blu-ray movies this way. Quality is like playing a DVD on a small television.
I see it as Blu-ray movies are for people that are having HD televisions. I tried dvd on my LCD, it is bad.

Cheers


I just realised Australia released BD Spiderman really early compare to Europe and US which will be releasing it this coming October.
