Have you tried updating your firmware and also getting updates for those games?

firmware and game patches are always up to date.. i will post a pic it's actually quite hard to explain..

Has anyone found a way to fix the triggers on the ps3 controllers? As much as I have tried to adjust to them, I hate what Sony has done to the L2/R2 buttons (now triggers). Is there a way to fix them and make them concave like it is for the 360/Wii/GC/Dreamcast triggers? I am sick and fed up with my fingers always slipping off the damned things. :evil:codezer0

Hi, I didn't realise my version (an 80GB one) can play NTSC too or is that just which regions you can get it in? I'm in UK, so that'd be PAL, but I can play NTSC too. It also kinda sucks that it doesn't have flash card support or SACD support, not too bothered about PS2 games.tirralirra

Ps3 games are all region free

Question: Is it ok to turn off my Playstation 3 using the power switch on the back.

Answer: Yes it is ok to use the power switch but only once you have place the Playstaiton 3 into standby. You can place your Playstaiton 3 in to standby by holding down the Playstaiton button on your contoller and selecting "Turn off the system", by holding the power button on the front of the console OR by selecting "Turn off system" under the "Users" icon on XBM. It is recomended taht if you are not going to be using the Playstaiton 3 console for an extended period of time that you turn the console off using the power switch at the back of the unit. This will save power and reduce risk of damage casused by power surges. NOTE: if you turn your console off using tis switch you can not use the remote play functionality.

Q: If i put balogna into my PS3 will it work?

A: No, balogna will not play in your PS3, and contrary to belief there is no such thing as "blu-ray balogna" so don't stick it in thinking you can get free demos. I you do however you will have to open your PS3 and vacuum it out, pressing the eject button like 10000 times won't do anything. And if you do, for the love of god, POST PICS.

Question: My PS3 will not play games, Blu-ray movies or DVD's. The blue light turns on and the loading icon in the top right of the screen appear but the disc does not load.

Soultion If both of these things are happening and it still dos not load the disc you have a hardware malfunction. It is most likely the blue diode in your drive. You need to contact your local PlayStation support.

thanks, that was pretty helpful

Ok, this really isn't a big issue, but being the person I am, it really bugs the crap out of me.

When I load gamespot on my ps3, it does not update the homepage. It is still stuck on the day where they had terminator salvation Q&A, bioshock 2 preview, wolverine launch center, and so on. The headlines update, but not the flash player options. They are still back in the past. There is no option to choose the infamous launch center or the star wars old republic interview.

This bugs me because I like to see current info, and using my computer is sometimes a hassel, so I use my ps3, but now it is having this issue. It is only with this site, and only on the homepage. All info is updated except what I mentioned. It is extremely frustrating.

Any suggestions?
