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!!!

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.

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
