True2..I dont want anyone to use or even turn it on, when I'm not around.
I'm thinking of hiding the power cable. So, can not turn it on.

the power cable is standard though, anyone can use a replacement cable.

can install CCTV for 24/7 surveillance

aiyarkk..can not la install CCTV...
Hopefully in the future, there will be option to put password. In the next firmware update.

It's not only friend, my "anak buah" is my biggest concern. They always mess up thins that dont belong to them. Even the game disc, I also concern.
I told them not to, they said ok. But then, they do it..

Uhm... all PS3s in its own revision are made the same worldwide. If they know how to fix a "MY PS3", they'll know how to fix any other PS3s in the world. More over, our MY set isn't even local to begin with. Its a HK model, brought into here and given the license as well as policy to sell it as a local PS3.

In any case, Sony MY now cover PS3 lens as well I think.

a noobie question as i dint find any from 1st page
if leaving the BD games inside the ps3 and turn off the console without eject the BD out, will it harm the console?

Well not really. Just refrain from keeping your disc inside your PS3 for a few days. I know there are people who does this and theres no problem as well.

Just a precaution either way. Because the Blu-Ray lens immediately reads a disc if theres one inside, giving more wear and tear to it. The Blu-Ray lens are ironically(atleast at the moment), more fragile than traditional red-laser lenses.

So best turn off Auto-Run PS3 game under your PS3 settings.

Only if you move the PS3 around, that may hurt the lens.

Hi guys, so basically the background download function works like the 360 one? I can just initiate the download, turn off the console and walk off?

yes, the b/g dloading process is similar.

only difference, on the 360 u can d/load in "low-power mode" and can set it to auto-shut-off when d/load is done (no such option on ps3) and the ps3 d/loaded files need to be "manually" installed before playing. another difference, u can log off PSN and it still works (watching DVDs and BDs will pause it though) and queue more stuff too.

when the consoles off the download will stop? and when turn on it will resume?

Hmm. Thanks acougan.

yup. the download will stop when the console is off. but it will resume when it's back on again.

btw, off-topic abit: BioShock demo is out !

^ yes. if u have a 24/7 "ON" PC, u can try d/loading the demos using the CF3B5's proxy program. the link is on the 1st page.

thanks, and by the way will the download stop if i play a game?

^if u play offline games, the b/g d/loading process will likely continue.

when u sign in to PSN for MP gaming session, it will auto-pause, no worries.

nope. most downloads will continue downloading in the background when you're gaming. you can also check on your download status during gaming, just press the PS button and go to download management.

but sometimes during gaming, you'll see that the download won't complete and will be stuck at 99% and it says pending. that's okay. once you exit the game, it completes 100%.

oh ic....that is also 1 issue..everytime when insert a disc the disc runs immediately
so i'll go and turn off the undert the setting

even the old style lens will also hurt...not to mention the BD lens
thx anyway

happy to hear that, and 1 more question can i sign in to the other psn account but i download the demo using another account

Well that's what I'm doing now...I have 2 accounts, and freely sign into one or the other depending on who has the better downloads.

My primary ID is a UK account. I straighaway changed to my UK account after downloading from the US store (set as background download). Once the background download has been initiated, you are free to sign in to other account, play games or even turn off the console. It will continue downloading
