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

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

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.

Not sure if this is correct, but isn't soft reset hold down power and eject button?

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.

Where to buy capture card? Thanks in advance.

Just asking, but my Resistance 2 (R3) cracked. I then replaced it with the R1 CE and now it wants me to reinstall for some reason, must I use R3 disc to use my game save?

Also, I can't redeem the Wraith skin with my SG PSN. Must I use US PSN or is it a limited time only download?

hi, my laptop have a hdimi port, but when i plug it to my ps3, theres nothing happen

IINM, HDMI ports on lappies are always output not input. Which basically means that you can plug into your TV to watch porn but cannot plug things into it.

hey i'm planning to buy a ps3 soon..but which set is the best to buy currently? based on my survey, SG sets are a couple hundred cheaper than MY sets.. but having to send the console to singapore will be a hassle, but if the ps3 is not so problematic it may be a good buy.. so are there common problems for the ps3 so far? or is it better to buy the MY set? what about 160gb sets, how much do they cost and what country are they from?
*
AFAIK, MY sets are only 80GB and 160GB sets are usually Korean or SG sets.

The only recurring problem with the current PS3s, IINM, is lens failure, in which case you will have to pay Sony around RM300 even if it is under warranty.

EDIT: Anyone know where I can reflow a 60GB MB?

Hi there I have a question.

I bought my 80gb PS3 back in 2007 (SG set) and recently it died on me. I think the network and wifi card died. Then after leaving it for a while, I tried turning it on again, the fan inside the unit was spinning so fast that I had to turn it off right away. I brought it to Sony MY and they say they wont fix it bcos its an SG set. So then I called Sony SG and they say its beyond repair but I can bring it in for a one-to-one exchange by paying about SGD300++ because its out of warranty.

My question is, will Sony MY support out of warranty SG sets? I don't mind paying to fix it. Anyone of you have an idea?
*
First things first, Sony MY will only fix MY set, no other sets. I think I did manage to get them to fix my launch 60GB once or twice but that was back in '07 when they not yet launch PS3 in Malaysia.

If Sony SG agree to exchange, take it. SGD300 is much less than repairs if your problem is as serious as you say it is. Just remember to take out the HDD, or at least backup the HDD.

So basically, Sony MY will NOT fix SG set even if you pay them lots of cash, even though MY sets are basically reboxed SG sets anyway.

Are you sure Sony MY won't fix or exchange 1-to-1 with another new unit if your current PS3 unit is spoilt due to lens problem? Worse yet, paying RM300 even under warranty?  shocking.gif

If this is the case then people won't have confidence to buy PS3 sets...  sweat.gif
*
They will only exchange for those motherboard related problems or hopeless case. Lens failure must pay. If got short circuit, never tell them if got lightning strike, they will make you pay.

They only take made in MY PS3s anyway.

Sometimes the devs have to censor content for different regions, I guess.

Like Army of Two, we had to kena region lock because of censors sad.gif
