^wah, a cable spoil, then go out get a new HDTV? haha, enjoy your new purchase and happy holidays.

so if i use my PS3 with LCD MONITOR and PC SPEAKER, i only need to get :

HDMI Cable-- from PS3 to LCD MONITOR.

Y-splitter Cable-- connect PS3 with PC Speaker.

correct me if i'm wrong.

DINGDINDING. Yes, you are correct sir

A couple of questions before upgrading my hard drive:

1) The backup utility will save backups as a single file or multiple files? AFAIK FAT32 only supports 4GB for a single file and how this is handled by PS3 as I think my resulting backup file will exceed 4GB..

2) Are the profiles/gamesaves/etc2 will be backed up by the utility? I have a few profiles in my PS3 (friends' & housemates') and I afraid the profiles/gamesaves will be lost after upgrading..

3) How about my linux partition? Will it be backed up as well?


thanks

1) Multiple files.

2) From my own experience, game saves is backed-up. Don't know about others though. Purchased games also backed-up perfectly, can restore to same PS3 unlimitedly, and to different PS3 up to 5 times. Profiles/ID will not be backed-up, because those are stored in the PS3's built-in memory. So if you want the same ID in different PS3, you have to re-create it.

3) Sorry, no experience.

I have upgraded mine to 160 GB, all went fine.

NOTE: You'll need an extra external HDD for the backup though. You can't simply use the backup external HDD as PS3's HDD. Backup to a FAT32 external, swap HDD with the new one, format, restore, done.

erm..just want to ask,can my 19" LCD monitor,widescreen get 720p?
it was 1440*900,so,it is possible for me to get 720p?
i'm using it with my PS3,but for rite now i could only get 576p..aiya..

lol...it's hard for me to make the decision,finally i buy it,with a very heart pain,my wallet empty already... anyone can borrow me game?? i broke already

Concerning number 2): So that means gamesaves for different profiles all can be backed up and restored on the same PS3 without recreating the IDs?

Thanks again

On the same PS3, yes. It did back-up for me.

In other words, there was no different whatsoever to my PS3 after the HDD upgrade. The only difference is the HDD size.

Hope it will work for you to.

hi,guys,any idea,wat brand of hard disk compatible to upgrade my PS3 harddisk??

seagatewould be the same brand as ur oem HDD

thanks friend,know wat is the bigest capacity and wat is the price??

just got my white PS3 , currently i looking for LCD to utilize my ps3, should i go for PC LCD or TV LCD? wat's the pros and cons? and the cheapest location to get those?

wah, deciding btwn brands to buy is aredi difficult enuff... and u cant even make up u wan monitor or tv.... tis is goin to be susah....

^what is your setup? if play in small room or desktop setting, consider 19", 22", 24" LCD monitors. BenQ 19" fp94vw is RM650 while Dell LCDs are also good value for money.

if living room, best get a TV LCD, they discuss it here

nvm.. edi susah payah decide between xbox, wii and ps3, doesnt matter if susah again now..

my setup is in my small sleeping room not living room. tht's mean LCD monitors suit me more?

sleeping room doesnt mean LCD monitor more suitable

ur playing position, stting angle, your layout, any pc? other usage of the LCD?

currently i got one 21" normal ctv, dvd and divx player.. will sit on floor or lying on bed mostly..
got one stone age p3 pc wit crt monitor and altec lansing speaker

best go window shopping. look at those PC LCDs at shops, look at those TVs at shops and estimate the space needed to suit your room.
