my first and last ps3 is a demo unit in a shop call pop toys , Bintang Shopping Centre, Cheng, Melaka

the lens was probably changed becoz the ribbon clip is white instead of brown. the ps3 lasted me around 10 months.

i did not know it was 1 month old in the display until i on the PS3 to find out the date it first switched on ...

can know which date PS3 first switch on ? wow
*
the moment the factory released the ps3, it's not switch on. the default time is set when u first switch it on smile.gif

based on the default time, usually is around 1st day of the year, the current date of the time when i switched on is 1 month ++ after the 1st day of the year smile.gif


usually, suppliers will test "on" the ps3 before selling.

OMG i just read the 1st post in this thread,  my stomach hurts like helll ok  like hell..........

ok here is my story ,  con with a twist.  i remember back when i was a wee little boy standard 2.  some relatives were visiting from oversea.  some one in my family married a mat salleh.  so the whole time they were living with us,  we would be playing micro genius everytime.  megaman contra whatnot,  at that time my micro genius is a bit rosak.  need to blow blow the catridge and slot in perfectly and then sometime if cannot , hv to lick a bit the underside of the catridge before slotting in. 

1 time we were in a game shop in the mall , i still remember this. the mat salleh was asking me which one is my console.  i point to the micro genius ,  then  he ask me what game is good.  i pick out some games that i like.  so after paying the shop , he gave to me.  i gave to his son.  and then he said no no that is urs.  i was so shock at that time. i though he was buying for his son all the while.  i was grinning ear to ear.  oh man i can still remember the feeling. make my eyes teary just thinking about it. if you r reading this.  thank you uncle stefano!!!    biggrin.gif

hope my story is in context with this thread.... huhu

here's another story of mine...

my neighbor conned our childhood friendship

i got a PS1 for my PMR. that time PS1 cost a bomb.

i was delighted to get a PS1. played it like tomorrow's gonna end. After that , i left for college. sometime college later,
someone broke into my house, stole some stuff.

at that time, i did not know the actual target is my PS1, until came back. i couldn't find it anywhere.. i asked my parents, they did not either. it was there at a spot where i put it with the box, but it was missing..

[Fast Forward due to religion sensitive stuff.]

later, i found it in my neighbor's house, it was on the floor. At that time, i put a scorpion sticker on top of it. Although the sticker was pilled, it clearly was still my PS1, the scorpion sticker's shape is there.

my mum was with me too. i just take the whole thing home and this "@#$%^&*())))))(*&^%$#%^&*(*&^%$"(sorry tooooooo rude to be said) .....

*contains some rude words :*

in the end, both father and son went home, heard some shouting and shouting at his house. i am not bothered..
at that time i got 2 ps1, my mum bought another 1 for me, although a 2nd hand, performance is not a good as mine original one, coz i got oil the gears in it.

in the end i sold the other PS1 becoz i prefer my original PS1.
machine wise, it never let me down.
it let me down once when the controller 1's up button is always being pressed without me pressing.
another time when my memory card was blown. my mGS1 save files byebye.
another time when my 2nd memory card has formatting problem. sometimes can and cant read.
third card is fine till now smile.gif

when we were younger in our secondary school life, we always play C.chess together, watch a few sailor moon/dragon ball episodes that time blush.gif , (ahem.... i just tumpang watch only.. ), read manga together smile.gif , cycle around the kampung together. still remember i drew a Goku pic and colored it for him.

never knew he betrayed our childhood frenship such a way..he was 1 year old younger.

18 years old only .. contains F words

99% of the pc used by local game shop owner to format the memory card and input ahem games into it is virus infected.

DO YOU agree?

Another wonderful con story by our own chinese speaking indian smile.gif
*
he conned me to..

but he sincere enough:

my story.. i got my NDSL from this indian guy. the price was way lower than i could get in Melaka.. so i got it from here.

at that time i go through the net and do some research.. i wanted the tt card. ahem.

but no matter how many tt cards he tried, he could not get it 2 work with the "new" memory card.

the new ds just would not read it and pop up error.

at that time i paid already. so he offered me m3 ds real.. ahem. Which comes with a rumble adapter!! for a change at NO extra charge!!

at that time.. i was like wow.. the original idea does not have the extra thingy.

happily . i brought home the package tongue.gif

went home, the stupid usb card reader came with the package was faulty. corrupted my ahem memory card for a few times.

the memory card was unstable too. sometimes, the files in the memory card goes haywire. files inside wasn't wat i put in with strange characters.

transfer speed was slower than a snail. very dulan.. i got the original Kingston MircroSD and another card reader myself. no prob until today.
