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?

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 )

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

My 2 cent

YES - that goes for BD games as well as movies...but DVD will stay the same ( region locked )
