its a bug in MGS4 backup.. you need to get a save file from internet and start the game from there.. or use the original disk to get through that part.. orelse you are stuck there forever

Yeah, I found a save file from the exact point I needed but the difficulty is The Boss Extreme..How hard is it ?

 

[kamranasif]

[Nauman 360]

i just baught a ps3 yesterday

i want to connect my razer headphones with it... and since the ps3 has no 3.5mm jack..i just conected the ps3 hdmi to my lcd hdtv and pluged the headphones into the hdtv's audio out 3.5mm jack.....

and it worked, but the problem is that i can't adjust the voloume that way.. its the same for the headphones no matter how much u change the voloume from the hdtv remote, it only does it for its own speakers.. so i gotta find another way to connect my headphones to the ps3.... since there are alot of ps3 owners here [i think]i thought someone might know the solution to this

[btw idk much about the ps3, always been a pc gamer, so any basic things that are important;, tips etc, are welcome ]

hello guys i have some questions i am going to buy ps3 slim CECH-21xxA this month but i heard from www.eurogamer.net on 27-1-11 that Sony will announce a new firmware that will disable ps3 jailbreak for good,i don't want that i want to play games on my ps3 with jailbroken games do you guys have any knowledge about this new issue ?? please help me and also what is the latest/THE BEST jailbreak version

 

[Major Aly]

Well when you go to buy it, do ask the sales person about the FW and whether it's hackable or not...
To my knowledge FWs till 3.55 (although I read somewhere that 3.56 also got hacked) are hackable successfully...

So if you buy a PS3 Slim that has the FW within these numbers then you're good to go !

Whats the difference between sixaxis and dualshock 3 ?

 

[Major Aly]

Whats the difference between sixaxis and dualshock 3 ?

Sixaxis doesn't have the 'Rumble' feature or in simple terms vibration feedback...

Dualshock 3 does...

Apart from the vibration feedback both are the same, both make use of the motion sensing technology...

Yes, PS3 is REGION FREE, meaning you can play any game of any region without any fear or hassle...
If you'd kindly turn back a few pages, you'll find that I have extensively and distinctively covered the REGION part for the PS3...

Again thanks lethal bro fingers crossed for WTB of ps3 on pg and what about language for example will NTSC-J(JAPAN)region will have English language as well...(i dont want kratos speaking Japanese LOL)

 

[Omyakha]

If you're talking about the console then yes, the default setting for all consoles available for purchase here is set to English. The region of your console does not affect the language in which your games will run, that only depends on what region game you get.

Congratz on such a fine decision !
You can get the most cheapest PS3 consoles from Karavan Shop located in Saddar or you could leave a [WTB] thread here on PakGamers as many members tend to sell brand new PS3s here as well for less than market rates...

The latest price for a PS3 Slim Region 2 160GB is 30k or 30,000rs

Help: Upgrading PS3 HDD

Okay, sorry if there's been similar posts like this before, but didn't find them in search. I need to upgrade my PS3 HDD. My console is a PAL 60GB fat model and thinking of upgrading it to 250. All I know is that I need a 2.5" sata drive. I'd appreciate more information such as which brand would give the best bang for the buck, what should the RPM, cache be, for optimum performance with PS3?
