Hi guys,

I played gt5 for the first time last weekend and i loved it! looking to get a ps3 of my own. Does anyone have any hook ups or know where the best bargains to be had are? Im located in the liverpool area, but dont mind driving around sydney to get it.

thanks!

i hate myself for pimping EB. deadspace2 and gt5 + 320gb ps3 for 600, make sure you get a hdmi cable (any brand, can be cheap, they still work)

there's one at jbhifi

guaranteed you'll throw out FF13 cause it's poo and ashes... if you're into cricket...? if not, meh. they have a cable with it but they're a negligible cost.

You won't find PS3's cheep, no one discounts them - unless your buying 2nd hand. Just look for the best package deal. I think I bought our 1st one with $2 off.. came with 2 games for like $479 and the 2nd one I bought with a 32 lcd bravia for 1100.

Not necessarily - if you can afford a decent HDMI cable, go for it. Regardless, make sure it's properly insulated, especially if you'll be running it next to power cables or if it's gotta stretch a long way.

I took my PS3 out with me a few weeks ago, and luckily brought 2 HDMI cables with me - the first one would barely work, and when it did produce a picture it had heaps of interference. Plugged in the second one, and problems solved!

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
