i would like to ask some questions....

1. Does the PS3 80GB able to play PS2 games and all region PS3 games??

2. Is it more worth to buy a second Ps3 60GB version or get a new PS3 80GB version or even 2nd hand 80GB version.. is it wise to buy second consoles..??

3. I have a Samsung T220 widescreen LCD.. and i able to get HDMI display from the ps3 if i use the DVI to HDMI cable??

thanks for answering this noob questions =)

No differences really, Asian/SG/MY PS3s all come from Sony HK anyways sweat.gif

1. No. Sony removed PS2 BC since the 40GB SKU, the new core-80GB SKUs are really pretty much the same as the 40GB SKU with a larger HDD.

2. If you can still find a 60GB PS3 in good condition and for the fact that its going to cost alot, then you may want to go for it. Same goes to a second-hand 80GB.

3. Yes, without problems what so ever.
The PS3 60GB may be the "best" in its features. But technical wise, it isn't.
Its not that simple too for playing PS2 games. Since PS2 games are region-locked, you will need to get the correct system to play your PS2 games and of course they must be original legit copies as well.

Its pretty darn rare to find a US 60GB PS3 for second hand now and selling with a reasonable price point.
Your best bet would be to find the MGS4 80GB Bundle which are still lurking around somewhere in Malaysia if you find hard enough.

means its better to get a NEW Malaysia set 80gb PS3??Asian set or SG set also ok?? but wat bout the warranty for the SG and Asian set...

You can get a 40GB PS3 SG model right now for under RM1300 if you look hard enough. Throw in a 320GB HDD will only cost you another RM200. All in all, an average of RM1500, about the same price of a brand new 80GB PS3.

What you don't get is of course no Dualshock 3 and no Malaysia official warranty though.

I'd still suggest you go for the 80GB MY set, as you will have a DS3. And only if you see the need of a HDD upgrade later on you can hop onto a bigger HDD.

yea.. i think is better to get the MY set now... as there is warranty...
coz no warranty.. and if anything happens... with be hard and have to spend more money to fix...

these are region codes. r1-r3 i think. the ps3 can play all regions in regards to games but the downloads from psn such as add on's will remain locked by region. such as if you have an r3 version (asia) of a game you cannot download maps released for the r1 game (usa and such)
*
means i can buy r1-r3 disc to play and is all supported by PS3?

r1-r3 ps3 games. blu rays are region locked. dvd's are region locked. and if you got an old version of a ps3. then ps2 games and ps1 games are region locked. only ps3 games are region free.

so i have the lastest version of Ps3 then i can play all Regions rite?
