<title>[ps3] Is the PS3 region-restricted ?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26828757</link>
<description><![CDATA[A cousin from N Ireland has asked about buying a PS3 here in the US and taking it back home. Besides the power difference, which can be dealt with (it's my understanding the power supply is dual-voltage-rated and just needs the wall-side cord replaced), are the games region-coded like movie DVDs ? What about PAL vs NTSC output ? I suspect that might be something that can be specified in the settings.

Basically, will it work ?]]></description>

<title>[360] HDMI and VGA</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26730338</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've been using the VGA cable for a while now. Supposedly the picture quality is about the same when compared to HDMI. I recently upgraded to a slim and wanted to try HDMI since I now have an optical cable port. I used the VGA since it came attached with an optical port.

I notice on the HDMI that the screen is very dark and a bit grainy. I know it's not the cable because I used it on my PS3 and the picture is perfect. I actually have another friend who always complains that his picture is dark. I do not want to mess with the TV settings as the brightness is perfect when I watch TV, or like stated earlier is perfectly fine on the PS3 as well as my PC.

Does anyone else notice a dark picture while using HDMI? I can't believe there are no settings on the xbox itself to fix this.

<title>[ps3] PS3 Speed and Duplex 10 vs 100?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26812054</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi there, my goal is always to optimize the ps3 as best as possible for first person shooter online play. So I have a question that has been in the back of my mind for a long time. 

Which speed and duplex setting is better for online gaming? 10 vs 100?

As a lot of you may already know, online FPS don't take up much bandwidth. U-verse realtime reports that while playing BF3 there is maybe 50kbps going in and out and that is an over estimate. So using 10 or 100 isn't a problem there. While on the 10mbps setting, frames per second seem to smooth out and game play over all just seems much smoother. My best guess is that 10mbps isn't sucking up as much CPU usage. At 100mbps... well I don't know how to describe it. Everything runs fine, but things feel twitchy... The frame rate isn't as smooth and I seem to die more to lag while in 100mbps. 

After doing pingtests in the ps3 internet browser, the ping time was lower with the 10mbps than the 100mbps. Lower by about 5ms-20ms. I only did two tests and I plan to try it again just to see if it wasn't a coincidence. 

So far I'm convinced that 10mbps is much better for online play but I'd like to see what others say. Is there any major reason 100mbps is better that 10mbps? Obviously when I have to download a BIG patch or something I switch back to 100mbps because otherwise it would take much longer. ]]></description>
