I wanna ask ... The HDD in PS3 won't be exactly 40GB rite for 40GB console ... And usually how much space will be takan by GAME SYSTEM AND SETTINGS ? Cause Basically my games are around 9-10GB...But I found out that around 8GB is gone ... I mean its in use but I don't seem to be able to find the source...
My PS3 System info shows that 23/37 Is that how we read it ? Need help urgently !! Whats the proper way to close a Ps3 ? Im currently ejecting the DVD on the menu screen...Then hold the controller's mid button...Then press shut down system...Wait till the status is red...Then I close the switch on the back ... Is it allright ? How long can a PS3 stands ? 5 hours ? |

QUOTE(malficient @ Sep 15 2008, 01:21 PM) Hi, Not sure about your AVI files not being able to be played on your PS3. I've thrown every sort of AVI file on my PS3 and it plays them flawlessly.some of my .AVI files can't be played in PS3..(ok in PC) what kind of DIVX files can be play on PS3? PS3 can play any sort of divx files except the one encoded using DivX 3.11. QUOTE(jasperng @ Sep 15 2008, 07:30 PM) hey i just got to know that ps3 going to officially launch in malaysia on 20th sept ...! The major difference is the HDD. The launch model in Malaysia is the new Core-80GB model, essentially it is just the current 40GB with an 80GB HDD. You still do not get the PS2 BC, the memory card readers and the extra USB ports.they going to give rm 1000 cash voucher for the first 3 buyer ! they gonna release it in BU !... erm ... is this version different from the current 1 ? Other key technical changes is that this new Core-80GB is using the 65nm RSX. It also does have a slightly smaller PSU as well. Other than that, this core-80GB model doesn't use the same cooling setup as the earlier models in the 40GB(CECGH). It doesn't use heatpipe cooling, but rather just an entire sink sitting on the top and bottom of the Cell and RSX. There are a few more technical differences, but should you want to know more, go ahead and PM me. QUOTE(Mythras231 @ Sep 15 2008, 08:20 PM) I wanna ask ...

Cause Basically my games are around 9-10GB...But I found out that around 8GB is gone ... I mean its in use but I don't seem to be able to find the source... Acougan already showed you the list. So yes, with 40GB what you have left is 31GB after formatting the HDD with your PS3.My PS3 System info shows that 23/37 Is that how we read it ? Need help urgently !! Whats the proper way to close a Ps3 ? Im currently ejecting the DVD on the menu screen...Then hold the controller's mid button...Then press shut down system...Wait till the status is red...Then I close the switch on the back ... Is it allright ? How long can a PS3 stands ? 5 hours ? Take out any disc in the PS3's Blu-Ray drive if you aren't going to play for the rest of the day, then just switch it off by using your controller or by just holding the power button on the PS3. Never flick the back switch off as a means of turning the PS3 off unless you absolutely have no choice. The way you switch off your PS3 currently is basically the correct way. No problem. Its hard to say how long a PS3 can be turned on at this point. There are people who have turned on their PS3 for months and thats without any problems. There are people who have played it for days straight and theres no problem. I myself have left my PS3 on for 36 hours straight playing MGS4, didn't have a problem. So the main thing is, place your PS3 in a well ventilated place, preferbly turn on your air-cond if you can as well. |

Infact it is encouraged by Sony that you upgrade your PS3's HDD. If you do it right, you wouldn't damage your PS3 at all. 3. It is said t be after Sepetember 20th 2008. 4. No local warranty and a SIXAXIS controller insteald of a Dual Shock 3. Granted you pay about RM300 less, I don't think its worth it. Pay the extra for a peace of mind. 5. Good or bad, don't pay more than RM50 for a HDMI cable. Go to Jalan Pasar and pick one up for RM20. |

Are you talking about headset or headphones?
It doesn't matter if you have a headset which is compatible, because after all sound will still come out of your speakers. MGS4 does have a nifty headset feature during the cutscenes where codec dialogs goes into the headset and not the speakers if you have one paired. |
