Anyone wanting a PS2 60GB PAL (AUS) better find them now at retailing stores.

Prices on ebay for them are rocketting!!! I'm watching a few. RRP stated $999.

People are bidding over them + postage!!!

Ah well, Jap Made one for me, soon hopefully.

No big differences? Just Pal/Ntsc.

sorry typo, mean to say first gen PS2, made in JAPAN. like my first PS3 was too that I bought last year. The current PAL PS3 are made in china.

funky, Japanese PS3 is cheap, but you can't play any aussie PS2 games on it, can't play aussie DVDs, and sooner or later wont be able to play aussie BDs either. and if they start coding PS3 games then it's even more of a bitch. that's why I bought the PAL version. it's nice to be able to play local movies and games, plus warranty is nice too. :)

anyway, currently downloading GT5 prologue. can't wait to give that a crack :P

games will stay region free...

and sooner or later someone like action reply or gameshark will rls a muilt-region software so you can play watever you like :thumbsup:

I am so far behind in technology.

You can download games on to hd and play them off that? like a psp?

yeap

somegames like warhawk, allow you to download the game straight off the psn, its only cost $50 too which i think is shop it cost more like $100ish.

can get psx classic games too

im down for that price aswell funky, is it through Amazon and is that US$?

that's the US model thru amazon USA, dunno if they ship international.

I'm planning on picking up a jap PS3 cheap on yahoo auctions while the dollar's strong and get one of my mates to bring it back with him in Nov. Baron von beerhousen... I know all the downfalls, but atm I'm pretty certain I'll only be playing PS3 games on it (don't have any Blu Ray DVD's, and have a PS2 for PS2 games)... plus I'm hedging my bets on a modchip comin out soon. Warranty is for white people.

hmms... is the game linked to an account or something?

What if your HD gets cleared or something happens to your dl file.

Whats the deal?

since it has a usb port can u hook up an external HD?

edit:

doesnt look like u can store games on an external HD and it has to be FAT32 format.

can anyone with a ps3 confirm if there is any warranty sticker anywhere

heres a howto about upgrading the HD, piss easy and if anything goes wrong you can put the original back in for warranty

lol! no chance of me carrying one back for you lover boy. I did that last november when I bought one at launch. 1 they are bulky. 2. they are pretty heavy. PS3, in box plus controllers and games was bout 10kg. plus back then since no-one had one every japanese guy was eyeing me off like he was getting ready to snatch and grab it. hell the valet from the hilton even happily let me leave it in the cloak room for a week, then when I was leaving carried it 5 blocks for me too! and I was getting $1000 to carry that one back. no way would I do it for less the second time around. :P

just post it monkeh. about $100 EMS.

and yeah, it's a good way to go I guess, especially since the 60gb is no longer available here and pal ones are now going for $1300. but I had a japanese one, and decided I wanted a PAL one and I'm happy with that. last night spent playing GT5 on the 46inch 1080p LCD made it all worthwhile :P

umm well my uncle' goin to some wold economic conference there, and hes comin back empty handed (other than the booze)... i already warned him... he doesn't seem to mind.

only problem with EMS is cost of PS3 + EMS > 500 = tax shaftage.

noo.. really? I paid tax on my ferrari jacket and it only came to $550.

you got screwed :P I can promise you the tax free threshold is $1000. back in the day it was $500 I think, but enforced pretty loosely. what they did was up to to $1K but enforce it much more actively.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
