I got some questions regarding PlayStation Network:

1) Is it I get my account upon purchase of a PlayStation 3?

2) Is there any difference between US account or Malaysia account and so on?

3) Do all PS3 gamers connect to a same server, OR there are a lots of server? OR I only can connect to Malaysia server? Because some said that Xbox has more gaming player.. hmm?

4) Do tell me any more information regarding PSN =)

5) Does PS3 able to watch *ehem* dvd movies? or downloaded movies?

Emm, thanks for the information, however, I'm still not very clear about the "region" thing.

When you say region lock, do you mean the version of the game (etc. US MGS4, Malaysia MGS4 ) OR like it's locked due to the IP Address (shows Malaysia) ?

Regarding no.2, you said difference is the PSN store content right? So, is it when I create an PSN account and put US, it will show US content or do they able to locate my location (Malaysia)?

1) What's the use of the PS3 storage? Shops are selling at PS3 20gb, 40gb, 80gb, 120gb. Why do we need storage? I thought we are playing using disc? and save with memory cards?

2) If I bought PS3 20gb, am I able to upgrade it to 80gb and so on? If yes, do I replaced my 20gb with 80gb, or are there 2 or more slots available?

They are all the same package, the difference just location why do the price differs a lot? Does that mean that Singapore PS3 got more/better quality than Malaysia one? or?
