That won't work because they require the barcode from the box.

Unless you already have a ps3 and take it off yours, and they don't put the serial on the reciept.

HDMI can be cheaper then component anyways so might as well go with HDMI if your TV supports it

anyone experiencing system crashes? it happened a couple of times when i updated 2.0...but it was in XMB so i just reboot it.

today i was playing AC and all of a sudden my game crashes (using 2.01 at this point), tried to turn it off and it was in the turning off mode forever (flashing green light w/ HDD indicator flashing every second), so i just turned off my power supply from the back and turned it back on. it's functioning again. I know what i did was a pretty risky move , so any tips for how to handle the same situation if it arise in the future?

2.01 came out to patch up some bugs in 2.0... everything should be stable now.

I've heard that AC would crash the system if you play for it for too long (3+hours) because of memory errors or something... otherwise no, the new update 2.01 has been very stable as far as I know.

IMO Resistance online is garbage. It doesn't let you customize the controls like in the campaign mode. If you have to play inverted, you're stuck with the games gay ass button layout.

have you tried using motion sensing while it was rumbling? did it affect the motion sensing by much?

damn..can't wait until the dualshock crosses the pond over to NA.
