Regarding to the system update, I just bought my PS3 last night and the version is about 2.3 something. Can I straight away update it to the latest version which is 2.6? Or else I do need to update accordingly from 2.5, 2.52....... until 2.6? Someone please help me out T.T
*
u can straight away update to v2.60 firmware...before that , please download it to PC then tranfer the update to Thumbdrive , make sure ur thumbdrive follow this method : http://ps3explained.com/advanced/folder-structure/

FW link ( website ) > PC HDD > Thumbdrive > PS3.

Oh thanks a lot folks =)

I've seen a package at the garage sales..
They are all the same package, the difference just location why do the price differs a lot? Does that mean that Singapore PS3 got more/better quality than Malaysia one? or?
*
MALAYSIA PS3 & SINGAPORE PS3 100% same , basically MY PS3 imported from Singapore and Sony Malaysia make it as official product..And Sony Malaysia only accept MY PS3 for warranty claim..

If you buy SG PS3 , incase anything u must claim warranty from Sony Singapore.."U have to send by your own"..both same , and from my opinion better MY PS3 because the service centre at Mid Valley City KL..

ur statement " Does that mean that Singapore PS3 got more/better quality than Malaysia "... where ever PS3 made from , the quality are from Sony ( JAPAN QUALITY ) , so there`s no differs for any PS3.

sony style and sony centre would sell the R3 version..while ordinary gameshop would sell variety Region such as R1 , R2 , R3 and also R4 ( which is awesome )

Need a little help.

Just bought my PS3 80G few hours ago.

Upon getting back, i put in Winning Eleven 2009 and managed to get to the match screen. I selected camera type and the game hanged so i pressed the PS button and selected quit game. But the screen just went black and there were 3 beeps.

So i pressed the power button until it went red, and then turned it on again. Since then, now when I put in any game the PS3 acts as if nothing happened, it dosn't load the game and the game dosnt show up on the XMB screen.

The blue light blinks about twice then is just on there, not sure whats wrong but a bit frustrating that I can't play anything now, I registered myself on the PSN network already.

Also I updated to 2.6 but still no difference. Any ideas?

change the unit..one to one change..

So I should bring it back now?

Weird thing was in the shop it could load... but come to think of it they never actually started playing any games. I think safest I just bring back there.

Alright folks, my nightmare PS3 first day is luckily solved.

Went back to the shop and the auntie agreed to change a new unit for me. Just so you guys know i bought from the game shop downstairs in Subang Parade, the shops name is multimedia something also known as C.K.

IMO, She's quite trustworthy as she always convince me that everything there is new is like her shop policy that they never open anything to try and don't even accept trade-in.

One weird thing though, she asked me not to register my new unit until she tells me because something about getting sony to clear the old unit first.

Abit bummer as the main thing to getting a PS3 is obviously the easy internet access.
*
What model is your PS3 dude ?

What do u mean by "not to register your unit until she tells you"? Warranty via Online...? Better Register the console via online ASAP..because the auntie sounds fishy..there`s must be something wrong with it..i mean the console may be already been used or registered before by someone..in other words refurbished unit...
