Hi, i got an Asian 'singapore' PS3 for christmas, however, in the menu the circle button is SELECT and the x button is BACK?! wtf?
my question is does anybody know how to change this, as 2 of my games are region 1 and they use x as select so i keep having to change round and it is frustrating!!!
if you have any ideas please tell me!

New Home "prewired". Unable to get sound with TV!!
*Cables Terminate on opposite wall of TV (about 20' apart).
*I have successfully connected my TV with component cables (prewired) to my Dish Network Receiver.
*Unable to get any sound to coordinate with my TV.
*Trying to integrate audio receiver/DVD/CD home theater setup. I am able to produce sound from speakers, but only when using the radio/CD player (can never get the TV to work with the speakers).

I have tried plugging an HDMI cable into the audio receiver and the dish receiver, but that obviously did not work... Will I have to fish more cable? suggestions? Please help!!

If I have an HDMI cable, do I need the other component cables that come with the ps3 in order for the ps3 to work or can I just use the HDMI cable only without the components?

I haven't been able to send/recieve txt messages, or connect to make a call since about 1145, same with my Dad's phone. Is anyone else with a Verizon Wireless plan having similar issues? if so, any idea what the cause is/when it will be fixed?

I have a Sony Wega CRT HD Display that accepts 480p and 480i as well as 1080i through component input. Should I buy DVD player that upconverts or should I buy a dvd player that is progressive scan. I just want to know if I should invest in an upconvert dvd player or if a progressive scan dvd player will do. Thanks for the help!

I have a 52" flat screen TV. I believe it's a plasma TV, but don't remember. My 1-year old nephew has been playing with the on-set buttons and hitting the screen. Now there's a permanent yellow band on the right hand side of the screen, and there's a blue and yellow shadow on all the images that come onto the TV, as if it were in 3-D. We've tried fixing it through the settings, but nothing seems to work. Is this fixable??

I understand that not all HD stations broadcast everything in HD, so my question is:

Why do SD shows on HD channels look better than SD shows on SD channels? They are both in SD, so why does one look better?

I work @ RadioShack and we sell S-Video and RCA cables that are "gold plated." What's the deal with the gold-plated stuff? Is it superior? Or just a sorry excuse to charge higher amounts of money?
