QUOTE(LaminatedButterfly @ Sep 7 2010, 08:39 PM) Hey guys wanna get your opinion. I have a 160gig ps3 phat and I'm freaking scared to install the new 3.42 update after all the 3.41 issues. Any of you guys with phat ps3s tried? Is it safe?? Please update the Firmware 3.42 as you see fit. There's no particular problem with the update. It would be silly willy if the updated Firmware will kill off your PS3 system. |

QUOTE(shahreza2000 @ Sep 8 2010, 08:59 AM) as for changing hdd, the answer is no. for vertical position, some might say its the best... some say otherwise... it doesn't really matter as long as you keep a good ventilation for the ps3.  thx This post has been edited by newps3m: Sep 8 2010, 01:56 PM |

Is it a playable demo? just head on over to the US PSN store. it's in the demo section. and yes, it's a fully playable demo. length varies from 6 minutes to 30 minutes,depending on how you play it. it's a 700+ megabyte download |
