Hey..

Any idea on how do I play RMVB files without having to install any linux OS/Ubuntu etc...

Or do I need to convert my RMVB files to avi or divx everytime I need to play those files? wink.gif

Many thanks.

CH.

PS3 firmware 2.40 has been suspended due to some technical problem after downloading it. So, i guess better wait for a while before updating the system wink.gif

Newbie question..it may sound a li'l stupid..but heck =P

The console is better left laid down or standing position?

Cause I've a little trauma with my PS2..when I have disc inside while the console is in the standing position..scratches tend to appear on the disc..

How does this compare to the PS3? and which is the better recommendation?

PS: Thinking of leaving the PS3 standing due to lack to table space =P

if u got the space, better put the PS3 lying down instead of standing up. I guess the weight is better distributed when it's lying down wink.gif

Aiih, can anyone help ?

Been trying to register/add funds to my US PSN account using Citibank Mastercard. Keeps on saying Credit Card info invalid.
Even Citibank called to confirm saying that it's ok on their side, but no go on PSN.
Street Address = My valid Malaysian address
City: Miami (in PSN account this was set as Petaling Jaya).
State: Florida
Postcode:A valid postcode from Miami (although diff from the one i signed up for the PSN account with)

dude.. i think sometimes they control the account where non-US credit card can't pay for US accounts. Same thing like Itunes.... You can't pay for itunes credits using your Malaysian CC

If they were to relaunch God of War 2 for PS3, that will be great too....
