Just register for a PSN account...and log into the PSN store. Most of the games are on the US PSN. The JP PSN store has some games/contetnt not available anywhere but it's all in Japanese.

Sorry for acting like a noob here, just got a unit during launch. I noticed that the PS3 games over play-asia are relatively cheap, and they do not include shipping charge too.
My question is would it be cheaper to make playasia my centre of buying games? Or would you suggest me to continue visit my favourite retailer and kept on bugging for a best price?

their service center will entertain all those sets with MY offical stickers. do keep your receipt for documentation purposes.

i'm sure SonyMY have a database of the valid S/N of the MY sets. they are the distributors after all.

nway, I notice, at least register 2 PSN. 1 US, 1 SG. SG to play games online(maybe faster?), US to download demo coz got many demos than SG.

Playing online does not matter in which account you have.

The servers for online multiplayer games on the PSN aren't dedicated like all XBL. They are held in the developer's place. So it doesn't matter if you use a US PSN account to connect to a game which online's severs are in the US. You'll still lag, blame screamyx for that. The bandwidth speed is just too low to cover the distance that far.

Some of them indeed are quite a bit cheaper.

Though personally, I don't buy from PA either ways. Mainly because it takes too long for it to arrive at your doorstep. More over, if you search hard enough and bargain enough with local gameshops, you can get the same price or something near that. I'd rather pay a little more than to wait god knows how long for it to arrive through delivery.

You should understand this: Sony Malaysia DOES AND WILL NOT entertain any PS3s consoles not being a MY set.
Which also means, they won't even care if you pay them, they'll not look at your unit unless it is a MY set. Its under their T&C warranty.

I suggest you do this, play PES 2008 again and play a full match if possible. If there are no problems then the problem may just be the COD4 disc being faulty.
When a Blu-Ray disc is faulty, it can automatically jack the Blu-Ray laser in your PS3 to go too close onto the disc because its having difficulties reading data off from it and thus freezing the game.

Try other games as well.
A dying lens symptom is frequent freezing(which means just freeze out of no where).

Yes its a rather stupid way of placing their warranty. But I guess their reason to doing it something deeper that I am in no mood to explain right now.
