QUOTE(acougan @ Dec 28 2007, 12:16 PM) ^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. my setup is in my small sleeping room if living room, best get a TV LCD, they discuss it here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/123247 |

QUOTE(Ninja @ Dec 31 2007, 11:00 AM) What your PS3 region? You can use the following direct download link to download the update file: i dont know wat's the region.. (Asian Region) http://dsa01.ps3.update.playstation.net/up...58/PS3UPDAT.PUP Put the PS3UPDAT.PUP inside your thumbdrive/Memory Stick under PS3/UPDATE folder. Then, on your PS3 select System Update through Storage Device. thanks for the link btw, does it make any different wit the region? |

QUOTE(Ninja @ Dec 31 2007, 11:15 AM) Nope, not exactly. You can use US update on Asian or Japan PS3. No difference. Well, I guess most Ceramic White PS3 sold here are Asian region. but wat region mostly ppl will use here? i dont want mess up later.. if i update wit US region, is tht mean i need to create acc wit us address and the other way round? |

QUOTE(rx330 @ Dec 31 2007, 11:20 AM) QUOTE(Ninja @ Dec 31 2007, 11:20 AM) Most people use Asian update, the one that I just posted. And, it does not effect your PSN account registration. In fact, you can create multiple accounts; whether its Asian account or US account. You can use any region to logon and play online multiplayer. No restriction. thanks for the info but i noticed something wrong wit my console if i place it horizontally, it will hang sometimes in the middle of the game but it's ok if i place it vertically.. is tht normal? |

QUOTE(terencetoo @ Jan 4 2008, 01:32 PM) bro another question, same thing with why u need to buy notebook with hdd? since v can use external hdd also y do v need big capacity for PS3? eg..60GB or 80GB... since v can use external hdd like 250 or 300GB to connect via USB at PS3..does this make any differences? Thanks again Added on January 4, 2008, 1:38 pm QUOTE(terencetoo @ Jan 4 2008, 01:32 PM) bro another question, yes.. hdmi to hdmi will output together with the audio. y do v need big capacity for PS3? eg..60GB or 80GB... since v can use external hdd like 250 or 300GB to connect via USB at PS3..does this make any differences? Thanks again Added on January 4, 2008, 1:35 pm@casablanca2 DVI without the audio means? no sound form PS3? hdmi to dvi without the audio. so u need to use another output from ur ps3 for ur audio This post has been edited by casablanca2: Jan 4 2008, 01:38 PM |

Added on January 4, 2008, 1:42 pm@casablanca2 bro another output from the audio means....i get a computer speakers n connect at PS3? yes, another cable for ur PS3 to computer speakers, tht's how my current set up is |

QUOTE(terencetoo @ Jan 4 2008, 02:18 PM) ohh thanks bro can u show me how is the setup? if connect ur ps3 to ur normal tv u use the cable wit 3 color rite? yellow, white, red. (yellow for video, white red for audio)cant really picture how is the connection be done via PS3. If brother casablanca2 u can take a pic at the PS3 backplace (backside interface) n let me see how is the connection be done it will be great Thanks just unplug the yellow cable from ur ps3, leave the white and red color remain plugged. then get a Y splitter (refer page 1) so that this two audio out will bridge into one input to ur pc speaker. remember to select ur audio type with XMB. get a HDMI -> DVI cable. just connect ur ps3 wit ur LCD via the HDMI port and DVI port. done! |

QUOTE(terencetoo @ Jan 4 2008, 03:04 PM) wow.....how much is the splitters? but normal computer lcd can produce good quality while playing blur-rays games? any lagging frame-rate occur? btw what else can PS3 do besides playing games? QUOTE(enCORe @ Jan 4 2008, 03:54 PM) the splitter very cheap only. less than rm10it's either wont affect frame-rate or the reduction is too small for me to get noticed. so far so good wit game like FIFA08, ghost recon, assassin's creed |
