god now i feel bad. he thanks us and i get him temp banned. ah well he broke the rules. maybe he had real success or the whole thing was a cover story to advertive inadvertently.
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

do people get bored on these forums? There really was no need to suspend me - i took the advertising out - and i've seen plenty of people with their signatures with their website link in it... And no i wasn't on the forum to advertise my site, as if you hadnt noticed i was also helping people in the PC hardware thread and the PS2 backup thread with swap magic etc. Everyone on this forum is out to get each other and try to get everyone banned, for the smallest matter. And also to the person that put that i was warned in August or whenever, i'd just like to tell you that i hadn't returned or posted in afterdawn after then, hence the reason why i didnt remove the signature.
Another thing, i created this thread as i needed advice, which i got from some nice people, on buying a PS3 and importing it, not to advertise my site. So thanks to those who gave me advice, it has all been taken on board and i appreciate it :)
I'm sorry for my little rant, but i just keep seeing people getting banned for the smallest things, and all i can bring it down to is boredom on the persons behalf who reports it, and sucking up to the mods.
I'm not trying to get myself banned again, i just needed to get that off my chest as i felt it needed to be noted.
Anyway, sig gone, now back to helping people and asking more about the PS3...
Peace out :)
Edit: Also, apologies to the mod who had to edit my stuff out...

jdgr81, a mod told you in august to edit your sig & i warned you to edit it but you didn't do anything so you got a temp ban for that. it has nothing to do with boredom or sucking up as that does not work with me but it is forum rules about sigs. when a mod tells you to do something than do it.

Sup guys, i preordered the 60GB PS3 from Play-asia along with Resistence the game. I'm just not sure if this is a Japanese version only because it has the word Japanese highlighted on the units specs.. If this is a Japanese version, would it work ok in the United States, thanks guys.... There is no mention of it not working in the U.S.A.

yes, but why would you screw yourself out of your own region benefits? the ps3 marketplace will display japanese origin items, you cant play and bluray movies from america, and you wont be able to tell what you are doing in resistance with all the words being japanese.

wait, not so fast. according to this ign article, you might be able to change your region, but then again, you might not.
Quote:
Region Setting -- Allows you to set your region, from Japan to North America to Oceana to the UK to Europe to Korea. (BTW, that seems to us to be a hint that SCE has plans to follow up the successful launch of PS2 and PSP by its newly-formed Korean arm with a PS3 launch in Korea.) This feature was not locked in the unit we tested, and we're not sure if this will be freely switchable or if, like on PC DVD players, this will lock in after a certain number of switches. Games are, of course, region-free, but movie makers will be damned if Sony allows this machine to play import videos (sadly), so we expect some development on this feature beyond what was shown.

look halfway down the page for region setting

find out first. keep the preorder i guess, and if you find out the regions in fact will or will not be changable, you can decide from there if you want to keep it.
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

yeah, its probably just for prototype models that usually travel alot.

at least the games are region free i guess...i'm not too bothered about the Blu-ray movies, although saying that now, maybe in the near future i will be bothered. DVDs will be around for a good few more years at least anyway. I would love the PS3 to have that region setting option though, i agree however with you guys that its most unlikely that will happen.

That sounds promising, hopefully Sony will have that region change option. I won't get my hopes up though, i will definately find out for sure before i cancel the order.. Thanks for your help guys!!

none, 0, zip, sh!t out of luck. its new york and xmas season. many people are filthy rich there and will buy it for their kids. maybe a small retailer in a lower middle class neighborhood would have it but it would be gone the day of or the day after recieved.
