Thanks for the reply again. I guess youre right about the cable. I read somewhere online about the differences between type A and B. Type 1.3b implements stricter compliance standards for the manufacturers, in other words, type B should be more reliable than type A. And I think I finally figured out the problem with my ps3. Well, its not actually the PS3. Its the monitor! I tried my PS3 on the plasma TV in my living room and it has no problem displaying the menu after quitting the game (virtua tennis 3). I guess they were right about PS3 having only 1% returns compared to 33% of the other consoles... Actually I found out what's the problem after splitting the audio out from my ps3 to the component cable instead of thru the HDMI. When the screen went blank, the sound can still be heard (the clicking sound when you browse thru the menu) but no image on the LCD. Also, when the screen went blank, if I turn the monitor off and on, the image will display. The LCD display Im using is the ASUS VK246H which has great image quality at 1080p. Too bad now I have to do these "extra" steps to run my ps3 on it...or maybe it only exists when playing Virtua tennis 3 since I had no problem at all playing MGS4 before this. Ill try my other games when they arrive next week. Hope the problem only occurs for Virtua tennis 3. Did anybody play this game before? Any problems with it? Thanks for all your help Wes. EDITED : found the exact same problem as mine : http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_...pic_id=25820571 Guess its the monitor....but its strange bcause MGS4 played on the monitor flawlessly....but at least now I have a peace of mind knowing the PS3/monitor is not broken or anything...phew...spent the whole day trying to figure this thing out...

Called Sony rep and it seems that the middle aged woman at the other end of the line didnt even know HDMI exists! I ended up explaining things to her instead of the other way round. Dunno how she ended up in customer support... (funny how she tongue twisted whenever she wanted to say H.D.M.I) But anyway, after reading Sony Online Knowledge Center, it seems that PS3 is only compatible with HDMI type A. Is this true? Has anyone here who are using HDMI type B had any problem similar to mine? Here's the link : http://playstation.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/pl...php?p_faqid=262 I tried switching my cable with my housemate's HDMI cable type A that he got from an XBOX 360 Elite and it worked fine. For the mean time, I'm gonna buy an extra HDMI cable type A and see if itll work. Thanks in advanced for any suggestions/helps

Now that you mentioned it, it does seem that my ps3 started behaving like that ever since I played virtua tennis. Ill delete the game saves from that game and see if thatll work. I do however hope that I dont have to delete the saves from MGS4.....all that hard work for getting the stealth and the flintgun Thank you very much! PS: I tried it and it works! The game doesnt even pause like it used to when I quit the game. Thanks Wes! Really appreciate your effort helping a member here. Gonna try it a couple of times now to double check. EDITED : It seems that it may either be the saves from virtua tennis 3 OR ninja gaiden sigma demo (which saves the game automatically when youre playing)....why would a demo have to be saved? It may have been the bugs/issues from the partially developed game...Just letting everyone know EDITED 2 : Hmmm...now that I played virtua tennis again and save it at some point, my console started to freeze again when I quit....funny thing is that now it will load the game back if I wait long enough...Could it be the game? I checked the back of the disc and its scratch free....bought it new a couple of days ago EDITED 3 : Could it be caused by the fact that the HDMI cable that I use is version 1.3 type B instead of 1.3 type A? I read PS knowledge center and it says ps3 only accepts HDMI ver 1.3 type A...but I wonder why it works before when I played MGS4....thats weird...the problem only started after I played virtua tennis 3...I think Ill wait for my other games to arrive and see if the same problem still persist with the other games before sending the console back to Sony...

Hi all, About 3 weeks ago I bought a new 80 GB ps3. Played MGS4, Virtua Tennis 3, a few game demos and spiderman 3 bluray disc. Then, about 2 days ago, my ps3 started to freeze whenever I try to quit playing virtua tennis 3. It happens every time I try to quit the game. Ive never had this kind of problem before, even when playing MGS4. I can, however, occasionally, get to the menu screen with a probability of my ps3 not freezing up 2 in 10 trials. And ever since the problem started, sometimes my ps3 also freezes when I try to load game demos. Has anyone encountered this problem before? I read message boards and from what I read, it is not a common thing; could be a problem with the HD and so far the solution that people have been resorting to is by sending the console back to sony for replacements. I know I kinda answers my own question here but just wondering if anyone here has ever experienced the same thing?

funny that those 4 antennas are like 4 strands of hairs left to the nearly bald VF-25S head.... and...WTF?

that's one hell a cool SV-51 post!. repped! owh wait, this is not slickdeals?

LOL! I almost spilled my cup of tea when I read that! But seriously, the way the head lasers bend symbolizes my 'bended' desire to own this toy too.... I dont sound serious do I?

still, we havent seen the neck for ozma's VF-25...& to add to the lists of design flaws, the bendy head lasers (maybe choice of materials would be more appropriate),...not to mention the urkel knees & stubby front landing gear...urgh! my eyess!!

happy birthday man! now take those damn pictures already!

ow man....no neck kills it for me

Really? Did he? I thought only Max got the 1S upgrade or rather, got promoted to be the skull leader in DYRL?

the beta is simply the simplest recent toy Ive ever seen and it doesnt justify the 150 price tag to me and doesnt make sense in the sense of Lyapunov (haha...I just finished my controls finals today, for all you controls guys out there!). I think most of us here would rather use our money for anything thats not toynazi for all the shaits that they've been doing to the fans lately.....oh and because of the economy....and oh, because Im a poor grad student... and Roger, it is clear to me that youre rooting for Toynami. why Roger??? whyyy???.......I thought youre smart and stuff?

well, I wouldnt say this movie is bad...yet....just maybe "dragon-ball" bad. Just dont think about dragonball while watching and it shouldnt be that bad...though the title is dragonball nonetheless....lol...

when I read the thread, came across people mentioning forbidden kingdom. I do hope that at least the movie will be more or less like it, which is a movie thats fun to watch, has simple and interesting storyline and has no fan-base (no matter how much I tried, I still couldnt accept this as the movie adaptation of dragonball & would just assume it to be just another movie with no fan-base, so that it wont affect my expectation) Hope itll be fun to watch

found the trailer today and I just couldnt believe my eyes.... looks like its real. our worst fears have been realized.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64fZMN2Qu0w

I think.....I think....Roger works for toynazi... LOL!

good job toynazi! now all macross fans in the US will curse em.

is it just me or do the claws on the 2nd picture look like styrofoam sticks glued to his knuckels?

just whaaat r u guys been talking about? My pure mind just couldn't understand it.... anyways, this game looks hot. Might get the PC version when it comes out

so...is it confirmed that the heatshield will not require us to flip the cockpit over? i.e perfect transformation?

ala the joke machines?

I guess I'm in for the new 1D and will see how well it will fare in my book...if all goes well, I might jump in the 1/60 bandwagon... this release will serve as a catalyst for people who are holding back on the 1/60s release because they had spend so much money on the previous 1/48s... my wallet is hoping it wont go well...but that'd just mean that I'd get a bad 1/60 release.....

did anyone notice the air shock battle beam thing at the bottom of the page....what's that supposed to do? shoots air and make people fly?
