HD is 720, but can upscale until 1080i (usually on a HD ready TV). Full HD is 1080p.

If not mistaken, a VGA box if the monitor only has VGA input. IF got DVI, you can use HDMI to DVI converter+HDMI cable. hmm.gif

BD got
but if im not wrong
only BD KLCC
same price as Sony Center
Ya, Sony Center 1799 with 2 games (Siren and a The Best Game, either Ratchet, Resistance, or Ninja Gaiden)
Centers only sell package with games
Style if I am not wrong sells basic unit too

Btw, FYI, theres a 2 or 3% extra charge for installment method
This is standard, I've done installment on few stuff, all also got this charge
I think thats why GH quoted 1.85? (or maybe games package different)
*
I've bought mine from Sony Style. They told me they only sell PS3 in package (1799 with 2 games or 1899 with 2 games and one extra controller). They game are either Siren or Soul Caliber + either Ratchet, Resistance, or Ninja Gaiden.

The installment are 0% interest (rm150 per month) but only for Citi, Maybank and SC card holder.

Not to say theres no difference, but its just not enough to pay a premium for a full HD panel at a relatively small screen. More over, so many games aren't even native 720p for god's sake.... More upscaling will need to be done on a full HD panel for games.
*
Agreed with you. If you notice, most Full HD LCD are 40"++.

QUOTE(daijoubu @ Nov 11 2008, 02:37 PM)
Darn BD in KLCC too far >.<. Guess i'll stick with Sony Style.
Weird, sony style online sells PS3 in basic unit, RM1599. Will try calling them and check.

Thanks guys =D

Last time I check Sony website (before purchasing), it must be bought in package.

hi guys. im having a problem with registering the warranty for my PS3. i bought it in malaysia, model number is CECHH06. im aware that its the singapore version. so i went to create an account at asia.playstation.com. i went under malaysia, and after i finished creating my account, i clicked on register warranty. i didnt see the model number matching my ps3, so i created another account under SG instead. everything went fine until an error came up:

There is a problem in the inputs of Date of Purchase, please check it and input again. If there is any problem about this warranty registration, please contact our Customer Service Hotline at 800-8523-663.
*
I think the problem is because of the date. The shop bought it from s'pore Sony before you bought it. So in Sony database, the date when the shop bought the PS3 is not the same with what you entered. So maybe thats what cause the problem.

hmm.. so there isnt any way that i can register my ps3 unless i ask the shop when they got the ps3 right?

Not sure. Actually, I'm also new to these PS3 stuff. laugh.gif

QUOTE(terbang @ Nov 12 2008, 08:07 PM)
i have read some of the reply here said that, some shop is change the original dual-layer laser of the ps3 to the single layer laser..that y the price is cheap than or they can give many of free gift..

is that true?? doh.gif
*
I don't think its true. Even if the take out and replace, where can they buy cheap blu ray lens and where do they sold the one they take out... hmm.gif IMHO, the reason they can sell cheaper is due to 'tax'. whistling.gif

It won't. Individual Bluetooth devices will have a unique "pairing" mechanism with its respective device through cryptographic means.

Ops, forgot that the SA already paired up the controller when testing the unit. laugh.gif

Kinda slugging it out on Ninja Gaide Sigma, and man the graphics are lovely =D. Im running it on 720i on a 37" only unfortunately, but RM1999 for that LCD TV brand new, im not complaining tongue.gif.

But then, one gripe i have is that when i start a game, the LCD TV changes to no signal for a while, before it changes back to HDMI an dthe game starts. Its like the PS3 system cuts off the graphic while the game start. Its abit annoying because when there is no signal, my TV goes bright blue, so imagine when ur playing in a dark room. Sudden flashbang =.=
*
If not mistaken, the blue screen can be turn off. Try finding the option to disable the blu screen when there is no signal dtected.
