ok, here some situation, my ps3 is installing re 5, half way install, i trip my ps3 power cord, it shut down half way, then after i boot up, it cannot shut down probably anymore, and i can't continue install, nor deleted the files from ps3, any suggestion?

it can on and you can play though? just cant shut down properly?

tripped over power cord? how ah.... last time that happened to me i was playing FF VII fighting sephiroth in his final form. my friend walked by the ps. touched the wire, stupid ol two pin plug came out. to this day im still traumatised. all wire must hide.

i think what you should do is probably do a soft reset of the system. not sure how to do it. something to do with holding the on button down for certain amount of time. it might be on the front page. but all your game data habis lah. everything gone. choose wisely.

i think i will just back up and reformat, see how it goes first before i decide to go and fix it 2molo, hope it is nothing much

i think its just corrupt data. lucky when you tripped on the wire it didnt pull your ps3 down.

yeah, very very lucky, but my hard disc stop blinking for a moment, scare the shit out of me

Reformat your HDD and do a default factory reset. Only possible way now.

Hrmm just purchase a new 250gb hdd....now the thing is it doesn't auto-format for me. It says I need the ver 2.7 or something to do so...has it happen to you guys?

Update your firmware to 2.7 first before installing a new HDD.

Does anyone here know how to record videos off a PS3 without sticking a video camera at the TV? Some places say use USB capture card and some say use DVD recorder? Is it true? No need HD video also can, as long as can record. Thanks in advance

i want to ask i have just bought a ps3 from singapore and im going to register its waranty,should i register it under singapore region(which require a singapore address)or malaysia region

of cause lar S'pore..

I know but i don't have singapore address.I live in Malaysia ma...

u cant register in malaysia.. when u try to register in malaysia, it will say that the unit is belong to singapore. u still need to register at singapore site.

Wauu backing up and restoring 23gb of data from old hdd to new hdd takes like almost 30-40mins....So slowwwww

like me have to swim thru Japan..

cuz mine is Japan set

IC,i think i just type my malaysia address in.

Hi I just purchased a PS3 80gb from SONY Style... paid the 12 mth installment 0% interest free with DS3 bundle... no additional charge unlink Sony Center that need to add in 3% more... thank to the guys here on the pricing guide.

I have problem setting the connection on PS3 though... have 2 questions

1) How u guys know which NAT you are connected to?

2) do you guys have connection problem when u enable WEP encryption? Its strange, PS3 doesn't seem able to get the auto IP if I enable WEP, even if I set a static IP it will prompt me that DNS server problem. So I have no choice but to disable WEP then only it can work.

Appreciate if you could shed some light into this. Thank you

i have a noob question,why everytime i register for a psn account i use my e-mail but it always comes out with: (The sign-in ID and password combination is not correct.
Please check your entries carefully. ) Pls help!
