KL sentral eh, we ramai2 rent one under a fake MSC status company, get fast broadband, and rent it out to desperate malayan gamers.

Somewhere in there I think we can add profit!

Yeah, register the company as Media Atom. lol KL Sentral offices rent damn expensive leh!!

i wanna buy ps3, what spec should i consider?. dvd drive model?, region?, etc?..
*
All PS3 model can play DVD. For Blu-ray movies, it will be region locked depending on what region you buy your PS3.

All PS3 games are region free. It only matters if you are playing on a SDTV (480p resolution). What this means is that if you buy an NTSC PS3 and play PAL region games using 480p resolution, you won't be able to play it. Your PS3 will complain that the game cannot run on the display settings.

If you are playing on a HDTV LCD (720p, 1080i or 1080p) then you should be fine.

As far as I know, most of the PS3 specs that you can get nowadays in Malaysia (including official Sony product), don't have support for SD card, memory stick, CF card. But that should be fine because you can still use your USB thumb drive to transfer data. Wi-Fi/Ethernet supported, no PS2 backwards compatibility support.

Hard disk drive is upgradable, so don't worry if you get only 80GB hard drive. You can easily buy a 2.5" SATA HDD from any shops at Lowyat plaza or Digital Mall or Sungei Wang or Imbi Plaza or any computer shops and put it into your PS3.

you need 3 basic things

1. Firmware >2.4
2. Games that support trophy. E.g. LittleBigPlanet
3. Achieved certain conditions/goals in the game.

What do you mean via USB...? Connect it to your computer?

go to Playstation website, download the PS3UPDAT.PUP file. Then put it in <USB DRIVE>:\PS3\UPDATE]PS3UPDAT.PUP

When updating firmware in PS3, plug in the thumbdrive, select Update Manually via External Storage.

For some reason, the console way of updating is slow...

yeah. recommended solution. Only for PS3 updates.

Other than that, I find it no problem downloading PS3 demos/trailers from the Playstation Store... can get full speed. What I suspect is that the firmware update resides on a different server than the Playstation Store.

Please make sure:

1. Your USB drive is formatted as FAT32
2. These folders and subfolders exists:
PS3
---> UPDATE
3. Put your PS3UPDAT.PUP file into the PS3\UPDATE folder. E.g. F:\PS3\UPDATE\

Hm guys how do i format the drive into fat32?
I tried windows only allowed me to format in ntfs

Hmmm... If windows allowed you to format to NTFS only, chances are your drive is already in FAT32

What file format is your USB drive using now?

I think 10 years later, we'll be playing PlayStation 4, and DS3/SIXAXIS will be an obsolete item by then.

Probably by then, we all will be using holographic control mechanism (like Minority Report or 007:Quantum of Solace)

Maybe no more numbering scheme.

Maybe it's called PS Omega, something like that, or Sony Omega.... you never know

I think most likely within 2-3 years of continuous use, the DC3 controller may even lose it sensitivity and break before
the battery loses it charging capability.  Just buy a new controller.. it is perhaps even cheaper than replacing the battery by then.

I think by end of next year. .Sony may come up with a new controller that is also motion sensitive like the Wii.
*
Yeah... I heard that news(rumour). They said Sony already patented the design. The controller can be detached to act like a Wii controller.

The catch is, don't put so much high hope on it whether the controller is even practical for use or not.

just curious, if I am playing a PSone game, will my buddies see me playing it on my PSN game play list in the xmb?
*
If your PSone disc contains the game title metadata, why not?

I think Sony can use those kind of technology like CDDB technology, where it matches your PSone CD-ROM serial number against their database, and display the game title on the XMB.

thats the weid thing, I never see anyone playing PS1 game..

Well, I did played PS1 game on a PS3 once. PS3 did a great job in handling that. But only for less than 1minute.

Weird thing though, the XMB is still showing "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots".

OK. Seriously, I'm curious too. Does the PS3 really supports PS1 backwards compatibility? I saw a function called "Memory Card Utility" that can let you store PS1/PS2 saved game data, or from migrated memory card data using an external PS3 peripheral.
