ok, trying to look for the Y-splitter cable at Ampang Park, KLCC & even S&M complex..it seem that none of the shop in the area know about the Y-splitter cable anybody know where else to look for the cable? really appreciate it if you guys can help me out.
yeah, currently hooking up the ps3 to the lcd using HDMI to DVI cable. as for PC, i am hooking it through analog cable. changing btwn PC and PS3 is very easy to do..all needed to do is by pressing the source button below the lcd

ok..thanks acougan...i guess i missed that part of the post earlier...thanks for helping me out man will get it tomorrow then

thanks to the guide from those who helped me..now i already have audio from the ps3 through my headphone

sure thing..the Y-cable is called AUDIO FEMALE TO 2 RCA priced at RM10.00,
while the connector is called 2RCA JACK-2RCA GOLD priced at RM8.00 (not RM7.00 as i stated earlier, sorry for the confusion)

if you are going to Sri Computer, just go inside and you can see many boxes selling rj45 cables and network splitter, opposite of the boxes are boxes for audio cables and Y-cable is located on the top shelve.

the connector is on the last part on the long hallway (near the lift) nearby the headphones area. it is located in one of the boxes on the bottom shelve
(if you are from the lift, enter Sri Computer area, turn left and on the last boxes on the right is the connector)

mine is the old one, ps3 60gb ntsc-j that currently stopped production. the latest versions of ps3 are 40gb & 80gb. i suggest if you are planning to buy a ps3, just buy the 40gb version since it is cheaper and the ps3 hard disk can be upgraded regardless of the versions that you have.

i guess the only 60gb or the 80gb versions that are worthy to me is the ntsc u/c or pal regions since you can play english versions of ps2 games (well if u understood Japanese, then the ntsc-j is worthy too ). ps2 games are currently region protected and you need the right console to play the right games. but if you are not into ps2 backward compatibility, the 40gb is again the recommended version. ps3 games are currently region free, so you can buy any versions of ps3 that you liked. mostly here sell the asian version. eitherway, all ps3 have great picture quality for games and support most HD content too

this is my personal view only, the are other masters here that can help you in finding you right versions of ps3 (the 1st post of this thread is a good read and give great guide too)

about the fake controller also i am not so sure

yeah, 40gb and 80gb are both the latest one..the 40gb will be able to play all games (Japanese, US and PAL) since ps3 games are not region protected.. Movies and PS2 games are however region protected. you can refer this link here to check the region coding of movies -->> http://bluray.lindsite.dk/

yeah bro, come join the dark side of the force hehe
hope to see you later online..as for me now am collecting money to buy few games. now only borrow games from fren, next saturday baru buy own games

yeah got it awhile already, but haven't the time to play with it as i am pretty occupied with work and also don't have much money as i am currently financing on other things..been borrowing Ratchet & Clank (a very nice game) from a friend all this while..need to buy own games as he asked for his game from me already, what a bummer hahaha

what i noticed different PSN country offer a bit different selection of games. for example currently the psn sg dont have burnout paradise demo while psn us you can download the demo already. psn sg has disgea 3 demo already,but psn us not yet..just create multiple accounts, more demos, games and extras u can enjoy

need some help guys..i noticed that few games like heavenly sword and assassin creed will ask you to patch your game when the patch is available.
my question - is there any way that we can copy the patch files to let say to our PC or usb drive? i usually stores my pc game patch on my pc so that when i need it, i will just run it without having to download again from the slow internet. is it possible to do offline patching without having to connect to PSN? currently downloading patch for assassin creed, already 20 minutes, filesize 25mb 80% complete.
i am thinking this way because im afraid when i wanted to play the game in future, the intended patch is no longer available and will have to settle with unpatched copy of game which contain some issue(exp unfixed framerate ,etc). there will be a time that a game will no longer will be supported and patch will not be available any longer

bro...game update can be downloaded is it? where to download eh? really2 want to store the game patch to my PC harddisk..i only know how to store firmware update only

anybody tried linux on ps3? any possibilities of using tool like alcohol to create BD iso and emulate the BD drive so the iso can be loaded to play games? currently just an idea, have not even install linux on my ps3 though

do guys think Sony will somehow allow the PS3 to play any region PS2 games in future updates? since my ps2 got busted recently, there are currently no way for me to play PS2 ntsc US games anymore since my PS3 is the Jpn console. And the only way to run those games are either using a 60 or 80gb US consoles

can i download the new 2.17 firmware (US version) to be used on my ntsc-asia ps3?currently downloading it right now. it is all the same rite?or should i stick to asia firmware? currently downloading it through PC

**- but i am not sure if there is difference downloading from these links. i am guessing it is just mirrors but i may be wrong. better download following your PS3 console version. download & apply at own risk.

yeah, it will play since all ps3 games currently are region free. so regardless of the region of the console, it will play any ps3 games from US, PAL, JPN or Asia

new firmware 2.20 released already, just now successfully installed it. i guess now it support blu-ray profile 2.0 already

i believe how and where the ps3 is placed also play part in overheating problem. well even a pc need a well ventilated place to avoid overheating. the video from the youtube doest not show even how the ps3 was placed. heck, it might be a video posted by somebody ('the other' fanboys) intentionally putting the ps3 in a position where air cant be push in/out to/from the ps3 for all i know. to my experience, i have not shut down my ps3 for the past 3 days, playing gta4 n mgs4 intensively without a problem n working great too. my friends also don't have the problem with their ps3 up until this point
