ask him to upgrade to 720p

mine is always online when my ps3 is on, if it is not switched off to conserve elektris

maybe true maybe not

theoretically it will wear out the lense quicker because every time the console it will be active.

personally, i left the disc inside the console when shutting down since mar 2007. of course i take the disc out if im moving the console to other place.
no dead lens yet

or maybe i am just lucky.

read up the first post

i put the shortcuts to all related threads on the top of that post

nope

you have to start over

saves are locked i think because of trophies. even copying saves (same region) onto another user on the same ps3 will give an error.

on the dlc, some dlcs are region-compatible (r1 & r3) but normally they are not. i tried to compile r1&r3 dlc compatibility list by checking the sniffed url in the proxy log, but i aborted it because the community wont help me to check for those sku numbers & proxy logs etc

gt5p doesnt have locked saves

it is a 2007/2008 game, which has no trophy

the psn account region only matters if you want to connect to psn store. logging in using usa psn id to psn store will get you the usa/r1 store, etc.

for online play, you can play any region disc on any region psn id.

game/disc region connects to the server as predetermined in the disc, not the psn id nor the ps3 region. so normally r1 games will connect to american servers. in psn, i think the servers are not managed by sony but rather the devs/publishers themselves. maybe some first/second party gameservers are managed by sony.

in some advanced games like killzone 2, you can choose which server you want to connect to. and for some other games (we/pes/mgo), they only connect to their own server, and dont have cross-region multiplayer.

last time i used usb capture card

but can only use composite or svideo

and i play on comp screen at the same time recording the feed.

you can connect the ps3 directly to camcorder input (normally svideo/composite) and record directly. if the camcorder supports pass-through, you can resend the signal to tv for larger screens while recording the video. if not, you may have to play through the camcorder's small screen.

downloaded 3rd party gt5p saves are usable. already confirmed a year ago. but must only be the same region (disc region)

hk is under ntsc-j

and only models from cecha12 to cechf12 are able to play ps2 discs

uncharted is one of the games that fully utilised texture streaming from bd drive (hence no installation/long initial loading )

it will definitely stress out the bd drive. clean the disc if you want to lighten the burden of the bd drive

it is a game console

of course will use the lens a lot

look at ps2 ps1 games

where got hdd to cache some data

it will ask for birthday if you accidentally clicked the "forgot my password" option

look properly

pal ps3

have you tried using composite cable first?

and then change to hdmi


and also, your tv model please

there are ppl in that thread successfully using the same monitor

maybe you can ask them

some restrictions are within the monitor itself

some computers cant receive non-standard resolutions (like 16:10 monitors cant receive 16:9 signals, etc)

and it must support hdcp in order to use hdmi -> dvi adapter. not all dvi-equipped monitor supports hdcp (most do support though).

but hdmi-equipped displays must support hdcp (it is a requirement for hdmi standards)

any comp shop

however i havent found a bd movie with that feature yet. i'm not a person who stocks up latest bd movies so i cant comment on that

it is an agreed consensus that 720p is better than 1080i


untick 720p in the ps3 display settings. if that game doesnt support both 1080i or 720p, have fun with your 480p
