Dear all,

I have not been following PS3 scene at all. SO i have a few more questions.

1) I have a dell 2405fpw monitor and is wondering i can get the ps3 to connect to it in full HD, be it gaming or BD. Anyone here uses that setup? I believe we need to have some sort of hdmi > DVI convertor. Anyone that has this set up pls voice out ok?

2) Are there any M** to make the PS3 play *ahem* games?

3) are games region locked?

4) can we play games online? and how do we go about downloading game demo?

5) i have a creative gigaworks s750, any ideas how i can connect my ps3 to it?

thanks all for the help. looking forward to join the PS3 community here on LYN.

1. No

2. PS3 games are region free. PS2 games are region locked.

1.not sure
2.no coz its made to the highest standardso it wont play *ahem*
3. games r not region coded
4.some games have online enabled like warhawk and some 1 normal game. demo as far as i knw r all free to download from PSN and others have to buy

so wat u w8in for hurry up and get that PS3 since its so cheap now and comes in 80g

that's because of question number 1 lo.

lol go buy a new HD bravia lo only RM2999 lol
im also gonna get that next month lol or might get the RM3599

yeah, but it's not 1080p is it? lol

how about if u crack some more cash and buy SHARP LCD 19" TV (SHP-LC19A33MBK) only 1499. even got HDMI input problem settle then.

ya if budget is the problem , should grab the sharp 19inch
nice ~

but i wanna run them with 1080p resolution. i don't believe the sharp 19" is full hd.

er... why u must 1080p?

yeah..
i played mine on 480i.. the graphic still noticeable in high level of detail. hehehe..

The Dell 2405FPW is not HDCP capable, so u won't be able to use it with your PS3. Only way u can use it is with the component cables but limited to 1080i.

Since you guys are talking about HD resolution, is 1080p > 1080i ? Or it's the other way around?
Does the picture quality really differs?

yes u are rite.. 1080p > 1080i.
for the picture quality.. i suggest wait for the otai's to answer.. ehehe. technically.. progressive draws the image entirely while interlace draw the image line by line.. 24 frame per second, u cant really see it work. hehe..

Dear all,

I have not been following PS3 scene at all. SO i have a few more questions.

The 2405fpw is not HDCP ready. That means, you cannot use HDMI/DVI converter. So full HD is not possible. But you can still go with 720p/1080i using component cables.

2) Are there any M** to make the PS3 play *ahem* games?

Currently there are no *** available - not that i'm aware off...beside the game content will take ages to download and further more...BD disc is expensive to produce.

3) are games region locked?

Yes, refer to the descriptions below

DVD region
Blueray region

* At first, It sounded like BD is not region lock because we Asian shared the same region as Japan and US - region A

4) can we play games online? and how do we go about downloading game demo?

Yes you can play certain game ( which ever supported online mode ). To download games,demos, trailer and other content you need to have a PSN account. Just create one and select the region of your choice. Recommended to have US/JAPAN too because they have the most extensive content compared to other region.

Buying from the PSN store is a bit tricky because Sony have restricted certain CC...but you can buy prepaid cards and enter the credit into your account and start buying stuff. Not sure if local stores carry them.

5) i have a creative gigaworks s750, any ideas how i can connect my ps3 to it?

Just like any normal setup. Just plug in audio cable from PS3 into your system. Not really sure since i use a a different setup ( optical direct in AMP )

My 2 cent

I onli noticed that there few very few LCD TVs in the market which support 1080p and summore they are hell of EXPENSIVE
RM10k onwards

The cheapest alternative is get any DHCP monitor (usually 24inch above) can play full 1080p. Example benQ 24 inch.

Nowadays the new dell 24 inch can support 1080p also.

found this

this actually does work i believe for question number 1. seems to be able to get the ps3 hdmi > dvi with HDCP enabled.

Yup, the HDCP stripper. It would work, but problem is how to get one and what's the price?

Ok, for question no 5 i have found the creative ddts 100. this allows me to connect the ps3 audio( optical or analogue) to the ddts decoder and then to the speakers i have. My question is, can I use the PS3 hdmi out (video only in my case) and yet still use the audio out (optical or analogue) of the ps3 to my speakers. Anyone here can help me on this?
