Hi there,

I intend to buy a PS3 but I have doubts about my monitor compatibility with PS3:

My monitor model is 17 inch Samsung Sync Master 732N plus. Its input is VGA but support DVI output with a simple adapter. Do I really need a VGA box for it to be connected with PS3? Or I just need to buy a DVI-HDMI cable only?

I managed to connect iPhone to my laptop (connected by LAN) via ad-hoc by editing the IP address. Perhaps you need to do the same thing? Manual configuration instead of auto.

We'll see. A PS3 zombie network, or a network of infected PS3s chained together to crack a password? Maybe...biggrin.gif

You can contribute to the society by using your PS3 to monitor molecular structure/development. I remember seeing an article somewhere in GameSpot about it.

Hmm, i dunno whether this Q was in the FAQ in front but when i read it just now i didn't c ler...xD

anyway just wanna ask what's the difference between the region in terms of buying the games? is there any difference? compatibility with the console? sry i noob ler..haven't got myself a ps3 yet..but soon i hope tongue.gif
coz i was looking around shopping for games then i saw this region thingi and the difference i c now is in terms of price only lor..so a bit of help here plz xD

EDIT : i read abt it a bit..hmm then does that mean if i buy m'sian set or asia set, i only can buy R3 games?

and since i'm already asking a Q here, might as well ask abt the display thingi. Hmm, LCD monitor dun have speaker hor? how do u guys play with ps3 + LCD monitor then? xD i'll try and read again in the front page but a little explanation would help also thx xD

all ur question is already answered in FAQ... u missed it.
PS3 game is region coded,however it is playable on all PS3 console. region code is just for DLC's..sometimes DLC is region locked, means if u have R3 game, u can only buy R3 DLC's. yeah, price a bit different. R1 cost more since their DLC came first.. and followed by other region.
you can buy games from any region to play with ur MY ps3.

question 2 is definitely in FAQ. LCD monitor use HDMI or HDMItoDVI cable. speaker is using normal AV cable provided.
means video output is using hdmi and audio output is using av cable/optic.

If im not wrong .. u can play all games in ur MY PS3. Most ppl buy R3 games bcos its cheaper.

for ur question 2 .. u need a HDMI->DVi cable .. and hopefully ur LCD monitor support DVi output and also support HDCP .. but im not too sure abt the HDCP part.
