QUOTE(Twinbee @ Sep 9 2008, 12:20 PM) Hi guys, I just got myself a PS3 last weekend (40Gig R3) but yesterday I spent hours and hours trying to get online. set manually the IPI have followed so many guides online, It will just not connect! My main PC is on a wired connection but I use my PSP, Dopod phone and Laptop all on the wireless connection without any problems. If I scan on the PS3 it finds my wireless network and says its at 95% so no problems there. If I ask it to obtain a IP address then on connection test it will time out while obtaining IP address. If I go through, manually set an IP address and all the other details it will pass that part but then fail to connect to the internet. I have tried disabling the WEP and it still wont connect. Its driving me crazy! Has anyone else had this problem? I'm just about ready to try anything as I have run out of ideas what to try next. Thanks for any help! P.S. Sorry this was originally asked in the wrong place.... =/  make sure u tick "shared internet connection" in ur broadband setting |

If you have any other external storage device, which is big enough you can use that too.so in order to transfer new HDD i have to buy external HDD(fat32) and a New HDD for ps3 right? Even a thumbdrive will work. Just backup your saves, your PSN demos and games can be re-downloaded at any time. |

Ok sifus..i have a little problem here with the Y-cable splitter..
I know Low Yat has it, but i'm too lazy and busy to get myself there and get one.. Now i wonder if those ordinary audio Y-Cable (the one in the pic below) works too? Those are pretty easy to get..most shop around my neighborhood has it..  My woofer has a green audio port there ( I'm using a 4.1 speaker)..can i use this normal Y-Cable instead of the splitter ones with 3 female ports..

Reports has suggested that laying the PS3 horizontal will have it at a lower internal temp.is there any? Other than that, well.... you save space putting the PS3 vertical and IMO, it looks cooler that way  Conclusion, put it anyway you see fit. |
