Noob question here... If my HD movies is over 4gb and i nid to transfer to my ps3 Slim from my external HDD... Is it possible?

That means have to split in two??

Hi all Sifu's out there,

I have a samsung LCD and a pioneer sound system. both supports HDMI. but I want to connect my PS3 through the sound system and them to the LCD. Is this possible? Will there be a problem?

Can the PS3 go through the sound system and then to the LCD TV? will the sound be delayed?

the reason why is that the LCD speakers are not that good and i think they are just standard. If i get to use the pioneer sound system, it will be better cause i will have the surround sound ....

thanks    

Thanks all... i think the pioneer system got HDMI OUT only and does not have an out. This optical cable, what kind of cable is this? DIGITAL? and when it is connected, what mode do you put on your pioneer system? LINE1? because what is happening now, i have HDMI OUT from pioneer system to LCD tv. So i dont think i can set the PS3 to pioneer through HDMI.

OH damn!!! thanks for pointing that out or else i would have gotten one. So when i use the the connection as you have stated, on the sound system i would choose LINE 1 correct? and then do i have to change the audio function on the TV too. Cause as i know, HDMI is intergrated meaning audio and video together.

Hi guys, have a question. Hope can get some useful feedback from you guys.

Can I swap between 2 hdd for 1 ps3?

For example, my friend and I share a ps3, so he has his own hdd and I have my own hdd. So when he plays he swap his hdd in and then all his games saves and account and dlc or whatever it is will be there. And when i get the ps3 and plug in my HDD, then all my contents will be there. Is that possible?

Or will the ps3 ask to format my hdd when we swap another new hdd in and put back the one that was there before?

noob Q

after play, b4 we eject disc, should we reset the ps3 to go back its main xmb menu b4 eject disc??

i already did all the steps below but still im unable to upgrade my hdd.
please correct me where did i go wrong.. or show me the right way to do it.
or.. perhaps im asking for help in a wrong thread?
1. format backing hdd to fat32
2. format my new 500gb hdd to fat32
3. back up my ps3 data to my backing hdd
4. replace original hdd with new 500gb formatted with fat32
5. format thumbdrive to fat32
6. download update firmware 3.55 to that formatted thumb drive.
    -i made a new folder PS3(capital letters)>another folder in it=UPDATE(all
    capital letters)>PS3Updat.PUP.
7. connect controller & thumbdrive to ps3.
8. start console & press start and select.
9. this message keep showing..
  "no applicable update was found.
    connect storage media that contains update data or version
    3.55 or later, and then press START and SELECT buttons at the same time."

*my ps3 is the fat80gb one(no backward compatibility)

it is necessary to update to latest firmware before replace the hdd?can't we do it later after we successful install the new hdd? 

imho it's much easier that way..upgrade 1st or upgrade later

hmm.. still not working..
