awesome. that was fast!

We can rename our downloaded packages rite? All the program needs is just a .pkg file to replace the F@H file?

thanks again. another really simple but critical question, say in the future when and if my ps3 crashes for whatever reason, I reboot it by holding down the power button at the front of the console for two seconds, then press it again for five seconds ?

How exactly do we reboot? I know it is bad for the console if we switch off the back switch while the LED is green.

That happened to me once or twice.

I just hold the power button as long as it needed until it turns off.

Then I turn it back on, everything back to normal.

I have no idea, just make sure it has HDCP support otherwise you can forget about that monitor.

Anyways, how the heck do I open a new tab when I enter an address manually in the PS3 web browser? I dont know how to open a new empty tab, is there even such a function? Typing this from my ps3 now.

Hold the O button for like 3 second. Sometime the browser will crash if loading a heavy flash based website. Happen to me

well about the only complaint about the ps3 now is that the browser tends to run out of memory pretty easily. You cant open a video flash, some websites even refuse to load up. Saddest case is www.ps3fanboy.com. Website for ps3 but cant even load with a ps3 browser. tongue.gif

Yup, one of my biggest disappointment as well, same goes for pspfanboy. They do have something for mobile, http://m.pspfanboy.com which lists 5 latest news but unfortunately news only appear in headline form and clicking on them bring you to the full (and ps3 incompatible) version.

Been using www.gamersyde.com a lot recently though, for all their 10 minutes thingy. And I also managed to make a Play-Asia.com purchase.

^ when buy ps3, u get composite AV cables, correct? the red/white PS3 composite cables carries the audio out signal. the green cable in that pict is ruzty's speaker input cable.

y-splitter is used to match the PS3 red/white OUTPUT to speaker INPUT.


note: if you have a speaker set/system that accepts red/white plug, then just plug & play.

EDIT: yes, the composite cable also called AV cable.
