QUOTE(roduo86 @ Sep 1 2011, 05:36 PM) it will auto downgrade, so u dun have to be worry. auto downgrade? means as long as i pluck out my hard disk, my ps3 will downgrade to factory firmware?1st step = back up all ur save files. 2nd step = deactivate all the PSN accounts (otherwise u lost 1 slot of the ID). 3rd step = DL the latest firm ware into thumbdrive (the naming & link are mentioned in the 1st page). 4th step = change / upg ur hdd. (make sure you back up, once u plugged out ur 40gb hdd & even though u plug it back....it will auto reformat where u will lost all ur saves files) 5th step = switch on ur ps3 and plug in the thumbdrive that contain the latest firmware ver. 6th step = restore ur save files.  anyway, thanks for the info, i find out i can use external hard disk as storage as well. but this might come in handy, planning to get 500gb or bigger but worry bigger wont work.. i got one last question, if i use a new hard disk, do i have to reformat it to Fat32? |
