UPS, How necessary is it in the Philippines?

[ipapz]

My Topic for discussion is regarding the upcoming season. As we all can see the Rainy Season has arrived in the Philippines, for long, we don't know. Only Global warming can tell Brownouts are very common this season. A very annoying nuisance for us people who love the comfort and leisure brought to us by technology.
But to us PS3 owners, it is something very scary. To us a sudden brownout while playing can spell death to our beloved PS3. That is why I made this thread to help our fellow PinoyPS players gather info about UPS.
If anybody can share the following information, it would be very much appreciated:
1. Where can we buy a UPS? And how much do they cost?
2. Any specified VA for PS3? (please state the VA for each model, the Slim, fat and the new Slim)
3. Proper usage or tips for the UPS
4. Is it worth buying? IMO it is, cos if you get to spend 5,000 Php to save your 20,000Php, doesn't that seem reasonable enough?
Thanks in advance to all who would answer and share their opinions!

brands? APC.Toshiba.Omega.MGE.Liebert.Powerware. OMNI din ata.

I say yes, you never know with those unpredictable storms/typhoons/occassional rains

Ano ba naman yung mga mag-skip ka ng at least 1 or 2 games for an UPS (which you can use for a year or more). Better be safe than sorry.

[PSNomad]

Yes para sakin lalo na ngayong panahon ng tag-ulan. For peace of mind narin habang naglalaro tsaka pwede pa mag electric fan or magcharge ng cellphone pag brown-out.

[hapibanana21]

Tanong ko na rin sana yung questions 1,2,3 niya, parang gusto ko bumili para makapagupdate lang ng safe eh.

[futs22]

It's definitely a convenient thing to have and if you're looking for some peace of mind against brownouts then get one. Also, if the budget allows it, get one.

[PSNomad]

Kaya rin ako bumili ng UPS for peace of mind lang din talaga. Pangit kasi ng pakiramdam habang naglalaro tapos biglang brown out di ako mapakali kung ok pa ba yung PS3 ko pati yung game sa loob.

ako nga inabutan ng brownout Ps3 ko habang nag update ng firmware..
na wala namang magandang dahilan para magbrownout.. maganda naman yung panahon

buti nalang nasa internet download stage palang ako .. pero I took it as a warning at sign na kelangan ko na mag invest para sa UPS..

[Bear]

inis ako sa brownout kaya yung bumili ako ng HD monitor for my PS3 last 2008 sinabay ko na rin ang UPS. APC na 500VA lang pero gumagana naman. 2K+ lang bili ko dati.

[Dobermaxx99]

ang mura na nun pafs!

[qattz]

APC UPS 500va (300w) around 2k-2.5k ; 650va (400w) around 4k-5k

[squall_leonhart]

it is not necessary but it is highLy recommended to use one. for peace of mind LaLo na kung mag-a-update ng FW

[eriesistible]

mga pafs ask ko lang kung ano yung exact specs ng ups na recommended para sa ps3 tsaka lcd narin. tsaka mga magkano po kaya? kasi madalas na mawalan ng kuryente dito gawa nung ulan at kidlat. kanina nga lang habang naglalaro ako nagbrownout, matagal din bago bumalik, taz nung nagkaroon na ule, siyempre laro nanaman ako pero after 30mins nawalan nanaman :damn: ayun pagkatapos mabinyagan kahapon(nagbrownout din kasi) , nakumpilan naman kanina, nakakapraning sobra! kaya bibili na ko ng ups

[hapibanana21]

Pano ko malalaman gano katagal yung UPS pag nag brownout?? Galing ako ng ACE may nakita ako dun na Panther na UPS, ok ba to? Yung sinasabi nyo na APC mas maganda ba to?? Gano katagal yung APC?? San nakakabili ng APC??
Masyado ako marami tanong kasi hindi ko alam kung basta na lang ako kukuha ng UPS o mamimili pa ako ng kung anong mas magandang brand. Ang kailangan ko lang naman kasi eh matapos ko yung update ng ps3 ko kung sakaling mag brownout at oras para patayin yung ps3 ko kung naglalaro.

[Dobermaxx99]

Depende kasi kung ilan yung nakasaksak kung gano katagal, sa pc ko dati, nung nagbrownout at pinabayaan ko lang siya naka UPS, mga 30minutes. CRT monitor pa yun plus CPU. sa gilmore po meron APC. kung pang Firmware update lang naman pafs baka pwede na yung sa cd-r king. pero for me kung pang PC lalo na kung pang work, then good investment sa magandang brand.

[eriesistible]

@dobermaxx99
eeh pafs anong specs kaya ng ups yung kaya 32 or 42inches na lcd tsaka ps3? para safe magupdate tsaka mapatay ng ayos kung sakaling mawalan ng kuryente tapos kailangan pa ba nung surge protector tsaka avr? may nabasa kasi ako na meron din sila nun bukod sa ups
