I'll be headed to Singapore soon and was curious to know if 100% the PS3 is region free (I understand they scrapped that early on?) and if the power units can be used between countries. I've heard that they can, but I'd like a definite if I could. I have 30kg luggage allowance to work with, so would like to use it all :D

From what I know, the ps3 does not have any region locking for games. So you can play games from any region. However Bluray dvds are region locked. So if you are willing to sacrifice watching blurays then you can get one. Also make sure the ps3 is compatible with our power outlet voltages

unfortunately azzman is right. there isn't region coding on the games but there is on the movies

im not really sure, but Australia is region 2/B for bluray while singapore (most of SE Asia) is 1/A

Also for DVD's singapore is region 3 while in OZ its region 4

im hanging out for Gran Turismo,

can't wait to race around the top gear track :clap:

That's ok, I only want it for GT5; but refuse to be taken for a ride by Sony Australia. The PS3 is about $350 AUD in Japan and Singapore. Not sure what the other $150 is for; it's not like the overheads change that much.

Well once upon a time, Sony were actually at a loss for every PS3 they sold. Not that I think that accounts for the difference in price, but I guess if they can get extra money for it here and there... well it's extra for them.

Who is getting the signature edition??!?! put your hand up! *puts hand up* haha

If you are saying that its only about $350 then why not just ebay one? I just bought one for $300 posted. There are so many floating around because of the latest bravia offer and people trying to flog off their "free" ps3s

Edit: This seems to be the cheapest at the moment : $350 + $25 postage

Ooo, not a bad price. From reading the comments it seems that there is a new CPU on the way? I don't particularity need HDD space as there is no shortage of it at home. Wonder if it is worth holding out for the possibly better PS3 to run GT5 a bit better; and I don't care about the 3d fad. Might have to check out the Sony shop in Brisbane to see if they too are doing the deal, or if it is indeed Sydney only.

That deal from SonyCentral ended a day after it was announced. They sold out quick!

Damn i thought I'd check anyway seeing as its a Sony centre I thought it would be like a factory outlet and kept that price.

I think Harvey Norman have it with GT5, controller for $487, 320GB

I guess you are not in the market for a new 3D tv as well?

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
