ohh yeah guys... google around and saw PS3 comes with Remote control?

Can this PS3 act as Windows Media mode? where like PC...no need to switch on windows but can one touch to access pictures, songs and movies just like "Toshiba Quismo Laptop"

Thanks

I have another doubt..

if i transfer the .avi movies to PS3 with better GC build in will it uses the PS3 GC rather than my lappie GC?

PS3 OS are stored in the NAND chips and not the HDD so upgrading HDD will not affect much on PS3 stability I think smile.gif.. I've upgraded mine to 250GB a few weeks ago and the screws were easily stripped.. Make sure you use the correct size of screwdriver or have a plier nearby. I ended up using pliers to remove the screws  sweat.gif

so i change the hdd myself with proper tools is that so, do u refer to the guide at first page?
or is just plug n play method?

Regarding hooking up your console to computer lcd's..the best way is HDMI-->DVI. wonder is there any good quality (brand) of cable that produce crips picture quality to my computer lcd?

Thanks

Both also correct...your guys pass me some money i snap pic of my workstation n let u guys see which setup is nicer smile.gif

Btw, piano black looks good hehe ~
Thanks, Thanks hehe im happy too. Next target Resident something and Burnout Paradise hehe

-Regarding the power issue..Is advisable to use external 4 port usb converter and hock up with 1 2.5" 160GB to your PS3?

-Will this setup will effect the power draw from the outlet or console?

- Can PS3 play original DVD movies? or any VCD movies?
