Which model is it?

Maybe it only supports upto 720p?

Check with your manuals and/or the box....

hey guys....i needed advice on which external hard drive to buy for ps3. I heard you need one that has a separate power supply?
but what about this one? it says its powered by USB, no need for adapter.

guys i live in defense ( karachi ) and well there are problems of voltage fluctuation here, meaning the voltage drops and goes back up suddenly ( though does not provide overload of voltage ever ) just a fast voltage increase from very low voltage meaning Normal voltage i get is like 200, and it fluctuates and goes to 150-170 and then it goes back up to 200 in a surge, so will this harm my ps3?

The PS3 is built to endure small voltage fluctuations, but it won't survive a very large surge or overload.

Although I doubt the voltages you've listed would harm a PS3, I think you should look into buying a surge protector or something nevertheless.

 

[Tultras]

hmm ok well, my voltage NEVER goes overboard ( that is the standard voltage is 220 internationally and i dont think it ever goes above that ), what i ask is, that is the voltage drops to 150 from 200 it in a flash goes back up to 200, im just asking that the is the instantanious period of going back up to 200V dangerous for the ps3?

do you suggest a stabilizer just incase?

Hey guys, I wanted to know a few things..

I wanted to buy a Wireless PS3 Controller (original). How much would that cost me?

Secondly, I wanted to buy 2 more wireless controllers, so that i have 4 wireless controllers. I already have 1 original controller and plan to buy another original controller but i need to buy 2 more. Im pretty sure the originals are pretty expensive so i cant buy these 2 original. Are there any duplicate wireless controllers which are cheap? I just need them so that i can play with my friends when they come over. I hardly ever play multiplayer so i wont be using them much.. Only just when friends come over.. So is there a cheap solution for this?

Thanks !

1. The original one would cost around 4.5k - 5k
2. The fake that you are talking about will cost 2-3k. It has some syncing problem and cheap knockoff , one more thing when you turn it on, you can see the light flashin' through the case itself

Hmm.. Where can i buy the fake one? I only need it to play with my friends which is like once a month or so, So doesnt make sense to buy an original one for it

 

[frhman7511]

Dude don't buy fakes. There's no guarantee.
If you don't wanna play that much I recommend you get a PS 2 wired controller and use a PS2-PS3 converter to attach it to the PS3. Together, it'll cost you about 700-800.

 

[alamode]

Good Idea ! How much is the convertor for?

 

[Tultras]

actually frm game world the price of an original wireless ps3 controller is at 3.5k, whereas the local copy is at 2.5k, the prices might not go lower then that considering 2.5k is very cheap for a ps3 controller

[frhman7511]

400. I got it from Khadda Market.

The ps3 has a voltage regulator built-in. A stabilizer won't do much more than that, you'd just be wasting money.
Technically it shouldn't be a problem but there's still the off chance that something bad could happen

 

[Tultras]

ok and can you tell me if the warranty covers the ps3 if it goes out like that, due to voltage fluctuati

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

can you also tell me if the ps3 breaks down due to excessive playing like 24 hours a day ( asking because my cousins are here aswell
