Re-download the patch.

Last I checked, the Asian version of Stranglehold didn't have vibration yet but the US version did. Not sure now, should most probably already have since you said you need to download a patch to play it.


a. Asia would mean a few different regions, it can be a SG set, HK set or even Taiwan set. Either way, go for a SG set. In that way, since Blu-Ray movies on sale here right now is Region 1, then it wouldn't be a problem to play it on a SG set. Furthermore, if really need to warranty(which I hope not) then it wouldn't be as big of a hassle as sending a Jap set back to Japan.

b. Yes, most if not all USB external storage can be used with the PS3 after its formatted with FAT32(which is the default format for all external storage anyway).

c. Make sure that theres no data transfering/copying to the PS3 or vice versa first, then you can just pull out your USB device.

d. Most shops selling DS3 for around RM160-RM180 now. Don't pay more than RM190 for a DS3 though.

e. You can use the SIXAXIS controller with your PC as a gamepad by downloading the SIXAXIS patch, google it up.

f. Go to PS Zone, Gamers Solution or SCE. I'm sure one of them have the PS3 Blu-Ray media remote control.

g. What other things do you want to know?

Hope you get a great deal on your PS3!

*EDIT*
b. RM1280 (40gb) cheapest i asked.. any better or im getting conned?

Didn't see you editing your post.

Anyways, Sony is releasing an upgrade to the current 40GB SKU next month. Which is essentially the same as the current 40GB version, just with an 80GB HDD and a DS3 instead of the SIXAXIS. So basically then, it will remedy your problem with having 2 controllers(one being useless in your case). The price should be about the same as the current 40GB version though, since Sony announced it officially as being the same.

RM1280 is a rather good deal, as many shops are selling within the RM1350-RM1400+ range.

Thanks for the advice. Finally successful downloaded the patch but guess what, this game does not support vibration. Anyway, my copy is R1 us version

Ahh my mistake. That means it was the R3 version of Stranglehold having vibration.... strange.

Oh well, enjoy the game!

Guys, wan to ask....if I wan to connect my PS3 to LCD TV...do I need any cable for it? or just use normal standard PS3 cable...Thx....

U can use normal standard PS3 cable also + or u can use a HDMI cable.

which one better? if using hdmi cable normally how much is it?

The standard cable which comes with the PS3 is Composite, which won't allow your PS3 to be in HD.

Check your LCD TV first, if it has HDMI input then you can grab a HDMI cable and connect it to your PS3. A HDMI cable's price will depend on the length you are buying, obviously the longer the more expensive it is.

A standard length is 1.5m, will cost you around RM30-50 at most. The more conventional 3m one(which majority of people uses) is around RM60-90.

Can PS3 japan edition upgrade with version 2.42 firmware which is (US) ? well just wonder cause ive seen someone post it...

can. with any region firmware also can. Mine is Asian, but i upgrade using US firmware.

Now it is possible, because the md5 hash for every update since 2.0 works for every PS3 region.

Still, keep an eye out. While I don't expect this to change, always check the md5 hash first before you update.

like me i prefer the right way...if asia console then update the asia 2.42 version...even though can use US update.

Hi, I wanna buy a new ps3 and use it with LCD monitor that support 1080 FULL HD. I know i need a HDMI cable, but wat about the sound? Thanks in advance.

a. should i get a set now from shops or wait for the official launching here? any benefit apart from warranty?
b. 6axis controller can sell? how much shld i offer?
c. any 2.5" 500gb hdd here? thinking of maxing out the hdd

nOOb question here...

since HDMI include audio and video signal , if i wanna to connet to my LCD tv , i just need to plug-in HDMI cable from PS3 to LCD tv is it? just that? or i need some extra cables?

cause from what i know...LCD tv had AV sound output rite? so i just connect ps3 HDMI to LCD HDMI port 1...then use AV cable connect to sound output ( from LCD tv ) then connect to external speakers which have AV input....

yes you are right, it will work that way.. or you can connect directly from your ps3 to your speakers.. go to the audio output settings in your ps3 and select the 3rd option (after HDMI and optic cable)
