QUOTE(-milo- @ Nov 28 2007, 01:35 PM) hi,sorry for noob question,how come the japan ps3 sells cheaper than the asian ps3? and will there ever be an official ps3 launch here in malaysia?  i read somewhere that the reason Japan PS3 is cheaper is because they wan to build up the user base in Japan 1st...becos the games r more expensive in japan n Sony earn the profits from games n not consoles.... official launch in Malaysia - may be a quiet one just like PSP n PS2?   |

QUOTE(acougan @ Jan 2 2008, 05:23 PM) try searching for a new 80GB Asian set. 20/60 GB Asian or JPN sets also can play NTSC/J ps2 games, but hard to buy new, can get as 2nd hand mostly. for testing ps2 backwards compatibily, i recommend SotC NTSC/J http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/...pid-1004248186/simply godly upscaled  totally agrees....although still suffers from framerate prob...i wish they will remake SOTC to PS3 ...imagine HD graphics with no framerates prob.... |

QUOTE(Cool_Knights @ Jan 6 2008, 03:52 PM) hmmm... i charge using pc for the 1st time, actually for about 2-3 hour before someone of the PC. then I never touch my sixaxis until yersterday afternoon. then try play with it, I unplug the USB and hit the HOME(PS) button. the indicator blinking fast for few second then dead. It look like my sixaxis battery empty...right? but still can be use if the usb cable attached. I don't have 2nd controller to try and make confirmation wheather my sixaxis is faulty or not. Anybody from Melaka can help me here? wanna check with bernard but so far la, the travel cost can afford to buy new DS3...huhuhuhu BTW, when sixaxis charging.. the light indicator with flashing slowly right until it fully charge, right? how come my sixaxis when charging, the indicator blinking slow for a few second then stop? arghh... takkan baru beli dah rosak??? when it stops it may also mean ur controller's battery is full....have u synched ur sixaxis with ps3 for the 1st time? |

QUOTE(apisgogo @ Feb 14 2008, 09:33 AM) thanks for the links. so it means that all PS3 set from Japan, US, HK, Taiwan, SG can play reigon A rite? this might contradict from above quote. Kindly elaborate. from wiki, we Southeast Asia were in Reigon A. yes u r rite.....so technically all PS3 sold here in Msia (JPN / Asian (SG) / US) all can play Region A BD movies..  |

QUOTE(temptation1314 @ Mar 3 2008, 07:24 AM) Here's some short summary after I'm asking all around Sungai Wang...  What the heck??? I feel that the whole Sungai Wang store are getting ridiculous. The price and everything.. I can gurantee u that US PS3 doesnt need any step down transformer becos I am not using any and been using my US version of PS3 for almost a year...  Those sellers r trying to con u into getting "extra" accessories... The same goes for PS3 games...its all region free..If there is a seller that told me it's locked I will ask "Are you sure?What if I brought a Region 1/3 game and test...Will u give me a discount if it's not locked?".....  . |

QUOTE(temptation1314 @ Mar 3 2008, 08:27 AM) So the question here is 1. Which region should I go with? Most people here suggest Asia - Singapore? What's the benefit on other's region? 2. Think of going S&M later and ask SCE there. Good? I'm in luck. Better spread the news over all forum else people will get conned. region wise it will have to depends on whether u r planning to play PS2/DVD on ur PS3...if yes then select ur console based on the reigion of ur games/movies...PS3 games r region free but PS2/PS1/DVD r still region locked... but most shops here r selling Asia/Jpn onli........some sellers recommend u to just get Asia console and play ur PS2/PS1/DVD elsewhere...which some consider as a good thing as well... depends on individual.. SCE is categorised under one of the more reputable shops...as well as Bernard's shop (Gamers Solutions) / Djinn's Shop (Gamer's Hideout) / Nelson's shop (near Connaught..sorry forgot the name...)... |

QUOTE(temptation1314 @ Mar 3 2008, 08:54 AM) So the "region lock" they mentioned was only applies to PS2/PS1/DVD only lar? not on Blue-ray or PS3 games right? now I get the idea  I got one free game from a friend in Japan Devil MacCry4, gonna test it once I got PS3 yes....the "region lock" they mentioned was only applies to PS2/PS1/DVD only ... wah..who is ur fren... so good give u DMC4... my guess is he/she bought the DMC4/PS3 combo... |
