^That is right.

There are some PSN games however aren't share-able, do take note of that.

Firmware released by Sony since 2.0 has all been the exact same file on any of the servers. Before that however, they always had a different md5 hash.

While it is relatively safe to assume that all firmwares from now on will be the exact same no matter on what server, just do double check the md5 hash incase of any changes. This is Sony we are talking about after all.....

Cannot, because the MY 80GB PS3 is a revision of the CECHK06 model. Which means it is none-other than the regular ol' 40GB PS3 but with a larger HDD capacity of 80GB only. You cannot play PS2 games be it original, same region, or *ahem*. You can of course still play PS1 games however, only in NTSC-J region though.

BTW, just to let you guys know that the latest batches of 80GB PS3 Malaysian models are all using a more efficient cooling fan. Just a note.

Myth.... at the moment atleast.

I have a friend who uses his PS3 solely for watching Blu-Rays only, its a 20GB launch-model even. Not a single problem thus far yet.

Anyone dare enough to strip a Velociraptor WD HDD without its HS into the PS3? That'll be hot for sure.

Make sure your NAT is Type 1 or 2 first.
Then make sure the wireless range of your PS3 and router/modem is not less than 50%.

Finally.... pray to god that screamyx don't screw you up when you want to connect.

Already answered your PM regarding that.

Anyways, for those having the same problem I might as well just tell you guys as well. The 2.53 firmware udpate automatically enables True Color(or RGB Full Range in the PS3's XMB) and Super White if your PS3 is hooked up via a HDMI cable. So for those who all this while is using a HDMI cable but did not enable True Color and Super White should probably notice that your images look darker and in bright scenes the white levels are much brighter.

Its not a problem with your console, so fret not. You can just disable them if you do not like it under your Display settings.

Not really.

Some games are multiplayer-region locked.

I disagree.

GTAIV would have been the best game ever made for the pass decade if it had everything from San Andreas(gameplay wise that is).

Too much has been taken out and it feels empty. Oh and I hate Liberty City... how many times have we seen that stupid city already?

Last month.

Price is only at RM1.1k to 1.2k.
Way below your budget.

Or you can even opt for the smaller E2200HD(21.5"), only RM600 now.

Yes you can.

No differences really, Asian/SG/MY PS3s all come from Sony HK anyways

1. No. Sony removed PS2 BC since the 40GB SKU, the new core-80GB SKUs are really pretty much the same as the 40GB SKU with a larger HDD.

2. If you can still find a 60GB PS3 in good condition and for the fact that its going to cost alot, then you may want to go for it. Same goes to a second-hand 80GB.

3. Yes, without problems what so ever.


The PS3 60GB may be the "best" in its features. But technical wise, it isn't.
Its not that simple too for playing PS2 games. Since PS2 games are region-locked, you will need to get the correct system to play your PS2 games and of course they must be original legit copies as well.

Its pretty darn rare to find a US 60GB PS3 for second hand now and selling with a reasonable price point.
Your best bet would be to find the MGS4 80GB Bundle which are still lurking around somewhere in Malaysia if you find hard enough.

You can get a 40GB PS3 SG model right now for under RM1300 if you look hard enough. Throw in a 320GB HDD will only cost you another RM200. All in all, an average of RM1500, about the same price of a brand new 80GB PS3.

What you don't get is of course no Dualshock 3 and no Malaysia official warranty though.

I'd still suggest you go for the 80GB MY set, as you will have a DS3. And only if you see the need of a HDD upgrade later on you can hop onto a bigger HDD.

To say its not running, thats wrong.

Everything is running as long as your PS3 is on, its just that certain parts of the hardware is idling.

99% of Logitech products work with the PS3 belief it or not.

Even some of their ancient driving wheels which uses the PS/2 port works as long as you get a PS/2 > USB converter.

Thats game specific, so it doesn't really count...

Their webcams still works for video chat.

3 beeps consecutively means your display settings has been set back to default settings

OR

Your PS3 is currently still doing something in the background(be it closing the Internet browser, quitting a game completely since some game leaves info on its cache, signing out from PSN and so on).

No worries its very common.

Has happened to me numerous times.

Its already explained on the first page of this topic.

PSN Video store only available to US residents, you need a US IP and a US credit card to buy it.

Infact you can't even access the PSN video store(atleast not by refreshing those ads until you get a movie ad).
