The demo for Eternal Sonata is out on the US PSN, download it and see if you like it. Personally, I do.

SH: Homecoming is a letdown for me. Not worth buying IMO, Siren on the other hand is.

You can but best not. Because after the update, the game will auto-start itself. If theres no disc in the drive, you'll be shown an error. Doesn't hurt the PS3 either way, but why risk 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.

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.

No, its in HK instead. All Asia PSN(except Japan obviously) are located in HK.

Difference wise, I don't feel any. Ironically, I download faster when connected to my US PSN.

Good suggestion.

Although I've never used my PS3 on a wired connection, always wireless

True enough.
Though, 60.53 does work best for me however.

Streamyx giving me alot of disconnections these pass few days too. How I wish Malaysia have Japan's broadband service....

No exact date, fall 2009 is the given date. Releasing simultaneously on the PS3 and 360.

Yeap, best yet just wait for the official PS3 bluetooth headset that comes with SOCOM: Confrontation.

Obviously not. Headsets which uses the traditional 3.5mm jacks won't even be able to connect to the PS3 in the first place.

USB headsets should work, but most of them IMO are rather poor in quality. While there are alot of bluetooth headsets that should work fine with the PS3, best double check first.

The best is of course to just wait for the Official PS3 Bluetooth Headset which will be comin with SOCOM: Confrontation.

Zal, you're in the same situation I am curruntly in right now. Frequent DCing from PSN and extremely low speed as well.

I've found the problem though, it is the problem with the telephone line. Either it being noisy or the wire block that hooked to the pole outside our houses have already got so bad its on the verge of being dead anytime.

I already called that stupid TM to come and fix it but its already been more than a week and they have not showed up yet. I suggest you do the same as well too.

I am probably gonna do it. These people, don't *** them they won't move their asses.

PS Zone has one last unit for sale: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/470450

RM2200, rather pricey yes. I think there are very very few shops now selling the MGS4 80GB PS3 bundle already, which kinda explains the high price. So depending on how much the PS2 B/C is worth it to you, it may or may not be worth it.

Doesn't work that way.

Games that get updates will be based on when the updates are released in their own respective region. I'll take the Uncharted trophy patch as an example here. R1 and PAL(EU) owners of the game immediately got their patch on the day it was released onto the PSN. So basically the owners of the R1 and PAL versions of Uncharted will be prompted automatically to update.

R2(JAP) and R3(ASIA) on the other hand didn't get a prompt at all. Owners of these 2 versions needed to wait until it was released in their region.

With that said, I am an R3 owner of Uncharted. The game didn't prompt me at all when the trophy patch was released in EU and US. But when it came out in Asia, my main PSN account is also the US PSN, it did gave me a prompt to update.

Conclusion, doesn't matter what/which PSN acc you are using. Updates can only take place when it is released on the regions relative to the games you own.


This has been answered many times already.
Sony Malaysia will ONLY attend to PS3s that are bought locally, which means the official PS3 models here.

So obviously if its before the launch, then that PS3 unit is from somewhere else. Which also means they won't even bother to look at it.

If you bought it on launch, then the warranty is already over.

PS Zone selling for RM1550, re-stocking either today or tomorow.

I'm doing that currently. Connected my PS3 to my X-Fi XtremeMusic.

Basically any soundcards/on-board sound will work as long as theres a line-in jack(yea like what soundcard from this day in age doesn't have one? ).


Asus VW223B is VGA only.
So it basically isn't HDCP compliant and that means you can't use it with your PS3.

Eventhough it has its own EZ Link feature which uses USB for its digital input, the PS3 doesn't support that yet at the moment(please correct me if I'm wrong on this, not entirely sure).

NTFS is developed by MS. What makes you think it'll work anywhere else other than Windows?

Obviously not.

acougan, I've did a test on my own connection as well.

When using 60.51.xxx.xxx IP, indeed I do get disconnected very often from PSN too. 124.xxx is also another IP that I face constant DCing. At this point in time, I'd suspect if somehow is screamyx blocking PSN or something.

I've got no other problems when using other IP like 60.49, 60.53, 60.54 and 218.xxx. I can't test 219.xxx because that IP doesn't cover my area anymore.

Can you test as well to see if 60.51 and 124.xxx is REALLY the culprit of constant PSN dcing?

I haven't got stucked at the friendlist yet, however I did got stuck when trying to send a message to someone.
I don't get stucked forver though, its only 2 minutes.

It happens when I immediately send a mail right after I login into the PSN, that means when my friendlist is loading.
