I have two noob questions here:

1.Can you play music from your PS3's hard drive while playing games(like the 360)?
2.What is the average price of a DS3?
*
q1. not really. only some games allow you to do this like wipeout hd. most games do not.

hey anyone know if you can turn off the function that uses your joypad to turn on the ps3. i only wanna turn it on by pressing the machine not on the joypad. sometimes my mom chucks the controller into the drawer and it turns the ps on. i always get heart attack when i come down and its on. i found the auto turn off function so its ok. but yeah wondering if we can turn off that controlling thing.

A couple more noob questions:

1.I have a 512 KB internet connection.Would that be enough to play online games?
2.Is there any danger of virus infection while browsing the web with the PS3?
*
i think it should be ok. but it depends on how good your inet provider is. streamyx is a bit unstable. some people with 1mbps+ have gaming problems.

virus infection... i wont say 100% no. but if im not mistaken you can download an antivirus. inet is inet you know. if you searching prawn sites or illegal DL sites on your ps3 sure got something dangerous.

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.

i guess you could picture your ps3 as a pc when you are not playing games. i leave my pc on for weeks. kakaka. no problem...touch wood.

btw. ps3 got an auto shut off feature. will it shut off if there is DL going on? or only if no one touches the controller? i know if there is a movie in or something it would turn off.

Tsk tsk tsk...

I can't believe how slow downloading from PlayStation Store really is...

I wanted to download... err... MGS 4... its like 1.3Gb. I saw the amount increase 16kb every 1 second.

That's... 16kbps for a 1.3Gb download = 22 hours !!

WTH ?  doh.gif  Using Streamyx 1Mbps...

I created a new profile over my Msian profile (Msian PS3..) of US profile... state New York.

Is creating a profile lets say in Hong Kong or Japan or Singapore (assuming they have PS Store) make my downloads a lot quicker ???

Thx...

- - > would love to noe what country + state you guys put for your PS account to access PS Store...

some people use their pc's to dl psn content using proxy's. im not sure on the procedure. but its probably on the front page or something.

these are region codes. r1-r3 i think. the ps3 can play all regions in regards to games but the downloads from psn such as add on's will remain locked by region. such as if you have an r3 version (asia) of a game you cannot download maps released for the r1 game (usa and such)

r1-r3 ps3 games. blu rays are region locked. dvd's are region locked. and if you got an old version of a ps3. then ps2 games and ps1 games are region locked. only ps3 games are region free.

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).

maybe if he connected to the inet using a VPN? can ps3 support VPN? maybe on linux?

geee thx guys....
i guess u hav to wait for sg  psn to launch that facilities......
i dont think they will be launch these facilities anytime soon. i think there is not that much demand for it. also i dont think the inet can handle it. doh.gif hahahah. i think the HK psn will get it first. since they already posted some HD video content.

....also dude. whats with you posting your trophy thing? it always appears in the quoted message. post the trophies in your siggy if you wanna display it.

hey want to ask...
sometime thing like i got disconnected from little big planet and the screen gone all white.

so i hold the PS button and quit the game, sometime, the ps3 seems to restart itself and beep 3 times and then the system restart and relog into my user account.

anyone came up with this prob?
*
you suffered from the LBP white wash huh. keke. happened to me a few times. usually i think its trying to load a stage and player profiles then someone disconnects or you disconnect or something and so it freezes. the three beeps are supposedly when your ps3 clears the memory or something like that. below is ssjben's quote i found from a few pages back.

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Dec 30 2008, 09:29 AM)
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).

*
what do you mean? are you using the modem or the usb dongle thing? if you got the modem. then just plug it through the network cable. im not sure how p1 works. but im using amax. the modem itself. although looks like a wifi router. it is only configured to recieve and send info wirelessly to amax. it is not an access point. i had to use my old access point and hook it up to the modem.

this is the best i can help you. i think this should help heheh.

its probably some corrupt data during the download. because you keep ending and resuming too many times. try download using proxy through your PC
