Read the first post.

In regards to the shop locations/phone numbers listed in the first thread, I wanted to ask: Isn't there an official Sony outlet in Lahore that sells the PS3's?

i ve read the first post many times perhaps u shud read my question again :S

 

[hmir]

I was not responding to your question. I was asking a question myself.

 

[hmir]

Seriously? No official retail outlets for the PS3?

 

[Omyakha]

There are several but they're quite costly. You'll be better off getting it from the marketplace here.
The only benefit you'll have getting it from a Sony outlet is the warranty and that's only a year-long. If it goes past that, they will not even acknowledge that it's theirs

so whats the price of new ps3 slim?

 

[hmir]

I'd rather pay a little more and have warranty than pay less for something that has no warranty.

Depends on your definition of 'little more'

A Slim 120 costs 30,000 so 2,000-3,000. How much are the authorized dealers selling it for?

ps2 k games ps3 pe chaltay hain ?

Nahi chalte but I think some original ones run. Forget ps2 games. Just focus on ps3 games.

 

[Omyakha]

Some of the earlier models were backward compatible but they're very hard to find now and they only run legit games, no support for piracy.

Guys I have a ps3 slim (120gb I guess) which I bought from dubai when it was first launched (more than a year back). Till now I have played it only once for 3 mins and it is lying packed still. During all this time, made alot of plans to start using this console but got busy in job, business and then studies. Now I am finally free from my exams and now I want to start gaming again. I was thinking about buying some games especially GT5, NFS and a couple of FPS but then I saw here that there is some sort of hack available for PS3 and that we can download games to HD and connect it to PS3 which would mean no more spending 3-4k/game. I am noob when it comes to all these technical matters. I searched a bit on the net and it seems I need to have a particular firmware for the hack to work.

1)Can you guys tell me how I can find the firmware of my PS3 slim? Or can you guys guess considering I bought it from dubai in the month it was first launched internationally?
2)What is this hack all about? Is it safe? Any drawbacks?
3)What are other requirements? e.g. what sort of HD do I need? What is the transfer and playing procedure?
4)How can I download games? I have a 2mb internet connection and I am a member of BCG and various other rare trackers so will these be enough for me?

Thanks!
