My bad.... got mixed up, it was the 226BW which allows downscaling to its native res from 1080p.

Hardwares have always been region-free and will always stay region free according to Sony.

So yes it'll work.

Glad to help my friend!


Oooh... very strange.

Couldn't be someone registered your console in advance, give Sony Style a call tomorow if possible.


Wrong thread dude.

There are various causes to this, either your LAN cable is already faulty, your PS3 Ethernet Port is dead or the problem lays within the onboard Marvell Ethernet chip on the PS3.

Try changing to a new cable first and see if it works.
If it doesn't, then use your older cable to connect it to your PC/Laptop. If this works then that means its problem with the PS3 itself.

To determine if its the Ethernet Port being the prob or the chip itself, if possible borrow a wireless router/modem and connect your PS3 wirelessly. If its possible to connect, then its highly likely that the problem is the Ethernet Port on your PS3 is main issue.

Do your research next time?


Western Digital or Seagate is the best, either is good. I'm not going to go all into the technicalities about the difference in model revisions for each 320GB 2.5" HDDs both WD and Seagate releases though, as the performance between each revision is nominal.

Get whichever is cheaper.

Impossible.

Game data MUST be installed on the PS3's internal HDD, any other external mass storage device will not work.

Err.... I don't see what the hassle is?
Changing the HDD is about as easy and simple as it gets.

First batch of PS3s which are the 60GB and 20GB has an official size support up to 250GB HDD only. Any higher it may have a chance of not being recognizable, since back then 320GB HDDs are still extremely pricey and 500GB aren't even around yet to the mass market.

Later firmware did fix the problem though.

As of now, atleast to my knowledge, every PS3 manufactured since last December supports up to 500GB 2.5" HDDs officially.


Does it happen with other games or not?
I played and finish Dead Space and never did hear any sound cracks at all.

I know what you are talking about as I have the same problem with Crysis.....

You may have to adjust your equalizer settings properly to remedy the cracking sounds. If after playing around with your equalizer and it doesn't work still, it may be your speaker's tweeters are damaged.

First of all, theres no way in hell.... atleast at the moment, even with the best compression softwares that you'll be able to fit a Full HD 1080p movie with uncompressed 5.1 channel surround LPCM on a DVD. Thats just not possible. Unless you are talking about 1080p movies which are Blu-Ray ripped which severely drops the quality significantly, and its smaller than 9GB then yes you can burn it onto a DVD.

However, the PS3 only reads DVD movies which are done in .iso formats, usually MPEG2 encoded. In other words, no different from buying pirated DVD movies. You will need to have the proper burning speed with correct latency timings. If not, start praying everyday on your PS3 lens not to die out.

Actually, JW Mariott also has super fast broadband. 10mb line if I'm not mistaken too, so.... bring your PS3 and go rent a few nights(or forever if you have the money) in the hotel!

It means you aren't searching hard enough, its just right next to you: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/818933

The lithium ion battery in the DS3/SIXAXIS can be changed, all you need to do is of course buy the the right size battery and just reconnect it back. Nothing too hard....

Of course after 10 years, you might as well buy a new one.

Game Utility > Delete the installed date you want.

What Zala said is right. You have to embed the subs first.

Unless you use VLC under Linux, then it may be possible to use softsubs. I am not entirely certain it'll work however.

Its a more subjective matter comparing 1080i to 1080p.

There certainly are some that don't see much of a difference or atleast enough of a difference to get a 1080p HDTV over a 720p/1080i HDTV.

For me personally, its significant only when I'm watching 1080p content on a front-viewing projector. Over a 100" of 1080p goodness, and that will be a significant difference over 1080i or 720p.

Not to say theres no difference, but its just not enough to pay a premium for a full HD panel at a relatively small screen. More over, so many games aren't even native 720p for god's sake.... More upscaling will need to be done on a full HD panel for games.

For me personally, I wouldn't take a Full HD panel over a 720p one at a size no less than 50"+, doesn't apply to monitors however....

That about cuts it!
That TV alone enough for you to buy a luxurious car liao.....

Though thats what projectors are for!!

Check if your NAT is type 2 or 1.
If not set a dedicated IP for your PS3 and open a port it under your modem/router.

May I know what game are you stating?

I also suggest enabling UPnP if your NAT is type 2 or 1.
