Just as the topic says. After i've exhausted my game library with my ps2 and with all the buzz circulating about ps4. I think it's about time to get the current gen. I already did some basic research about ps3 and maybe bumili ako this weekend. But before that, i have some confirmations and concerns. Saka nakakaintimidate kasi ang mga features ng ps3 dahil sa integration ng online connectivity. newbie ako pag dating dun hehe.


1. I called a few datablitz shops, Itech and gameone and they're all offering the same basic ps3 super slim package. Naghahanap kasi ako ng may game bundle, para makamura. kaso wala daw available ngayon. Di daw sure kung magkaka stock pa. Should I wait for a bundle to be available? Or limited stocks lang tlga yun? Medyo excited na din kasi ako bumili hehehe.

3. Any negative feedbacks about superslim as of now except for the cheap design? Mas pinili ko kasi to. compact, higher capacity and lower power consumption.

2. 250gb or 500gb?
The price between them is just about 500php. Ang concern ko lang naman ay about sa speed and performance. Kung mapuno ko man yung 250gb, will it affect the speed and performance of the console? Kasi kung ganun, 500gb na lang bibilhin ko...


3. About versions.
Correct me if i'm wrong. What I've researched is that any console version (US, Asian, etc) will play any region of games (R1,R3 etc.). Ang dapat lang mag match ay yung PSN account and game para sa DLC's. Correct? And if ever asian console mabili ko, makakagawa pa din naman ako ng multiple accounts in any regions?


4. About blu-ray movies.
Region locked to dba? meaning pag asian console nabili ko, R3 movies lang ang pwede?

5.About 2ndhand games
2ndhand games are my first option. Kaso while i was browsing the buy&sell section, I noticed that some games for sale have used/unused codes. Para san yung codes? I'm guessing they're freebies that you can get online.

And if bumili ako ng 2ndhand na game, pano ko malalaman kung may included na code pala dapat yung game? Ayoko naman bumili ng 2ndhand game, tpos sa huli ko lang malalaman,used code na pala....


6. Which ps3 game has the best online multiplayer? AND HAS A GOOD PLAYER POPULATION?
It can be any genre (except littlebigplanet. i'm not that into platformers). I know hindi masasagot to exactly, pero i need a few suggestions. Nilagyan ko lang ng emphasis yung population kasi sayang kung wala naman ako makakalaro online and dead ang community.


Sorry, napahaba hahahaha :D

welcome sa mundo ng ps3! and welcome to pinoyps!
1. I called a few datablitz shops, Itech and gameone and they're all offering the same basic ps3 super slim package.

bili ka na kahit hindi bundle. bihira lang din maglabas ng bundle e. kahit basic unit lang pwede na. mas mura na ang games ngayon kumpara nung ps2 days. dati 3k ang bagong game. ngayon below 2k e. :2thumbs:
3. Any negative feedbacks about superslim as of now except for the cheap design? Mas pinili ko kasi to. compact, higher capacity and lower power consumption.
prefer ko pa rin yung slim kesa super slim. itsura lang siguro. kumpara sa fat, less overheating ito. :D
2. 250gb or 500gb?
The price between them is just about 500php. Ang concern ko lang naman ay about sa speed and performance. Kung mapuno ko man yung 250gb, will it affect the speed and performance of the console? Kasi kung ganun, 500gb na lang bibilhin ko...
kung 500php lang ang difference, go for 500gb na. kaso, kung hindi naman ganun karami ang games na lalaruin mo, including download ng demos at maglalagay ng movies at music, okay na ang 250gb. yung 320gb ko hindi ko pa nakakalahati. bihira na rin kasi akong mag-download ng demo.

performance-wise, wala namang malaking difference.
3. About versions.
Correct me if i'm wrong. What I've researched is that any console version (US, Asian, etc) will play any region of games (R1,R3 etc.). Ang dapat lang mag match ay yung PSN account and game para sa DLC's. Correct? And if ever asian console mabili ko, makakagawa pa din naman ako ng multiple accounts in any regions?
yes, kahit anong region ng game pwede sa kahit anong region ng ps3, except yung persona 4 arena. kahit asian, japan o u.s ang console mo, makakagawa ka ng kahit anong region ng psn account. yung ps3 ko asian hk pero ang mga psn accounts ko dati u.s at asian sg.
4. About blu-ray movies.
Region locked to dba? meaning pag asian console nabili ko, R3 movies lang ang pwede?
yes, region-locked ang blu-ray movies. kumpara sa dvd na 6 ang regions, 3 lang ang regions sa blu-ray movies. a, b, at c. yung region a, u.s, canada at southeast asia. yung region b, europe, australia, new zealand, japan. yung region c, china. parang ntsc at pal yata ang region a at region b.
5.About 2ndhand games
2ndhand games are my first option. Kaso while i was browsing the buy&sell section, I noticed that some games for sale have used/unused codes. Para san yung codes? I'm guessing they're freebies that you can get online.
yes may freebies na kasama yung ibang brand new games. usually extras sa game, aka downloadable contents (dlc), weapons, episodes, character skins, etc.. minsan yung codes para makapaglaro online.
And if bumili ako ng 2ndhand na game, pano ko malalaman kung may included na code pala dapat yung game? Ayoko naman bumili ng 2ndhand game, tpos sa huli ko lang malalaman,used code na pala....
itanong mo lang lagi sa seller kung may code o wala. or ipost mo lang dun sa thread nung game kung may code silang nakuha sa brand new copies. ;)
6. Which ps3 game has the best online multiplayer? AND HAS A GOOD PLAYER POPULATION?
It can be any genre (except littlebigplanet. i'm not that into platformers). I know hindi masasagot to exactly, pero i need a few suggestions. Nilagyan ko lang ng emphasis yung population kasi sayang kung wala naman ako makakalaro online and dead ang community.
usually call of duty, battlefield, nba 2k, uncharted at tekken yung madalas na maraming naglalarong members dito. check ka lang din sa clan zone nitong site
Sorry, napahaba hahahaha :D

mas maganda yan kesa sa bundle... 250gb at 500gb variation yan.. i pick blue if i'll get a PS3 again. parang nawala yung pagka-cheap ng super slim pag kulay blue na sya. :2thumbs:
walang US version na ganyan, Japan, Asia, Europe lang... go for 500gb para di ka kapusin sa free space

region locked bluray movies pero pede ka naman mag save ng downloaded movies and music...
(sorry mods pede ba pag-usapan yan?? :sweat: )
and besides may Asian release naman siguro ang hollywood Bluray movies :mrgreen:

yan lang ang parating na bundle as of now ...pwede!
sana makatulong ako!

Mas maganda nga ata pag white or red/blue. Prone sa fingerprints pag black. :agree:



Followup question lang. Saan makakabili nung AVR? Para at least may protection man lang unit ko sa any disruptions sa electricity input. Or yun din ba yung AVR para sa PC's/desktops?

ok naman basta may fuse safe yun. ako gamit ko extension cable na may switch at fuse. saka mismong power cable ng Asian version na PS3 may fuse (3-pin power plug)... yung US/Jap version wala (2-pin) 110v lang kasi sila. pag may power surge kasi puputok muna yung fuse then circuit break na agad bago pa madamage yung appliances.
