I will be starting a small home based business. (sana walang magsumbong, LOL).
Services include computer maintenance and troubleshooting, upgrades, networking, Audio-Video Setup, sales of Hi Def Movies, TV Series, and Anime, media for consoles such as Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PSP, Nintendo DS, iTouch and iPhone and etcetera, and of course, sales of PC Games and all sorts of other things.
According to our friends at Kotaku that PS3 Slim is tad bit slower that the older version of the Playstation 3. I wonder why? Even in my older posts, Sony claims that the Slim will be even faster than its previous iteration.
The Slim’s bootup doesn’t include the jingle and the Spider-Man font splash screen, but the level load also is faster, so the absence of that probably isn’t why the Slim’s faster in this test. But who knows.
It makes little sense that the new unit would have a different, slightly underpowered motherboard, so the rumor is that the two configurations might have different hard drives. The maker of the comparison claims both consoles use the same hard drive. It could also be a firmware issue. Who knows.
But look! Look at that! Why the Phat is practically done with the FBI warning before the Slim even shows it! Seven seconds saved! Go Phat! Go!

According to this blog, Belzar modchip is quite possibly a fake.
Yep, that’s Belzar right there. The same Belzar.com who only recently proclaimed to the world that they are on the verge of releasing a full-fledged direct boot modchip for the PS3. The first of its kind, they said. They’ve already sent out the second beta of the second modchip to 50 beta testers in fact!
And even if it wasn’t fake, I have some doubts with the said modchip since I’ve been recently researching a bit about it. There have been quite the buzz about the fact that the belzar modchip would only work until the next firmware update and then it’ll be pretty much useless. Even according to the comments in this website, which is a website all about modding the playstation 3. They have been quite skeptical about the capabilities of this chip.

Now we’ve seen our share of fake PS3 news before and this one looks too good to be true. According to a post from Belzar.com, they are now on the verge of releasing the worlds first full-fledged direct boot modchip for the PS3 that is packed full of useful features including multi-region DVD and blu-ray movie playback.
1. Available September 1, Prices Already Dropped (North America)
If you prefer your PS3 fat and glossy, the existing 80GB model has now dropped to $300—that’s how much the new 120GB PS3 Slim will be in September. (The current 160GB PS3 has also been reduced, to $400.) And be on the look for bargains as retailers wind down stock: Today’s Gadget Deals of the Day has an 80GB bundle that includes LittleBigPlanet and a Blu-ray copy of Wall-E for $299 (normally $400).
The Xbox 360 breaks five times as often as its closest failure-prone competitor, the PlayStation 3, a print edition-only Game Informer survey found.
The poorly manufactured, red ring of death-prone console has a 54.2 percent failure rate, compared to 10.6 percent for the PS3 and the Wii’s 6.8 percent.
The magazine surveyed nearly 5,000 readers to get the data. And while the 360’s rate is alarmingly higher than the others, it’s still bafflingly low because it blows the mind to imagine that 45.8 percent of the consoles have not broken. Also, Microsoft’s numbers are inflated because 360s are used the most of the three consoles. Results said 40.3 percent of 360 owners use the console three to five hours a day, compared to 37 percent of PS3 owners. Meanwhile, the plurality of Wii owners (41.4 percent) play their consoles less than an hour a day.
Microsoft also seized the gold medal for unhelpful customer service, taking nearly a month to repair or replace a console, while Nintendo and Sony stuck closer to a week. Only 37.7 percent of Microsoft customers found the company’s customer service was “very helpful,” compared to 51.1 percent fo Sony and 56.1 percent for Nintendo.
The most shocking number from the survey — and frightening from a consumer perspective — is only 3.8 percent of Xbox 360 owners said they’d never buy another Xbox because of hardware failure.
