ok a friend of mine is wondering if he can connect his ps3 to celcom 3g broadband. Is it possible man? I doubt it is possible.

it is possible, provided you friend bought the linksys wireless broadband router and PCMCIA card...which will cost about RM1400 for both laugh.gif

@ravemaster

wow thanks for the lovely information that able to purchase at Sri Computer.

What is the name for the things when u 1 2 get at Sri Computer? u know la staff there abit.....
---------
Anyway, since this is Technical thread...i would like to ask some question.

1) Does 40GB and 80GB have technology or  differences (besides the card reader and the 4 USB) since 80GB is the latest...

2) Any heat problems for PS3 ( went to 1-U the guy mentione can play only 2 hours top then have to rest the system?? )

3) Only 80GB able to play backward "Original" PS and PS2 games? not for 40GB?

4) Is 40GB outdated or stop production from Sony..heard Engineers at Sony is implementing better feature in latest PS3...

Thanks
*
1. 40GB is using 65nm processor and 80GB is using 90nm technology processor. 65nm is latest and use less power consumption

2. No heat problem for 40GB but heat problems in 80GB

3. 80GB only can play NTSC/J Original PS2 games but not all games supported. Please check asia.playstation.com website for compatible games list

4. 40GB just launched on 11/11/2007 while 80GB launched in August 2007, if you wanna wait, better don buy, waiting will not end up buying anything you wan today

err.. sorry noob question here..
what is the different between 1080i and 1080p screen resolution?
*
i or p is done by hardware
i=interlace
p=progressive

1080 is the vertical resolution and horizontal might differs from 1 screen to another depending on your hardware

wow thanks babyk!!

I have another doubt..

Let say my lappie using 32mb Nvidia GC...while it shows crappy .avi movies on my lcd...

if i transfer the .avi movies to PS3 with better GC build in will it uses the PS3 GC rather than my lappie GC?
*
if the encoding is normal, then it should be smooth playing in PS3
if the conversion is jerky, no matter how high end your PC/Mac or console is, it will still jerk
