QUOTE(wilsonjay @ Dec 19 2008, 06:47 PM) so if i buy an asian ps3 set..i can send to malaysia sony for warranty? if must send singapore then gg lo... it depends where you bought your ps3. malaysia set or singapore set. hk set or what not. i said check warranty card above.  hahah. but i guess no warranty card. you can check the serial number. dont know too much about this. but the guy at the shop you buying from should tell you.

QUOTE(todak @ Dec 11 2008, 10:00 AM) Hi people. I have a 80gb ps3 and a 80gb USB portable hdd ide Hitachi. I want to backup the ps3 to the portable hdd in order to upgrade ps3 hdd to 500gb. I've formatted the portable hdd to FAT32 to a single 80gb partition using latest swissknife and my pc can recognize it, no problem. However, when I plug it to my ps3 and switch on, the portable hdd would blink & make a loud clicking noise simultaneously about every 3 seconds. And the ps3 does not see the portable hdd. I've read on 1st page that it might be due to the usb casing not drawing enough power and need 2 ports to provide sufficient power to the hdd. But I dont want to get a 2 port usb casing (?)just to find out that it might not work either. Any ideas? Thanks. Thanks vorchiel and neoardi for suggestions. Reformatting to ntsf and to fat32 again did not work. Using a 2 cable usb also didnt work, the clicking is still there just slower. From what I gather its a power issue and someone suggested getting an ide casing with power supply. However, I opted to use the slightly more tedious way as suggested by acougan. I'm transferring the backup data from my pc to the old ps3 hdd right now and the new 500gb hdd is already installed. |

Hello PS3 veterans, I am brand new to the PS3 gaming scene.
I have updated everything... and signed up for PSN. However, where do I download all those game demos ? I mean, everything I do something, it says "Not available in your area / region etc. etc."
I signed up with my home address... Malaysia that is. Why can't I do so ? My Internet Browser works perfectly.
I really want to get cracking on the latest game demos... etc. etc.
PS : Is it me or is Streamyx connection to the PS3 really bad... like it showed error updating my firmware and had to restart again and again. I tried it at night (about 2.30am) and it was a lot quicker and completed the update.

Since u have aldy signed up with Malaysian PSN id... thats great.. the PSN store for Malaysia not available yet... so u want to download latest demos and more stuff, create a new user id (US or SG account).. both aldy have PSN stores ...plus dont delete the user id u've created, just leave there for future purposes... Since u say streamyx is slow, why not download ps3 updates on pc then u can update it using USB thumb drive for convenience.. here is the link http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/769411/+1680 |
