Just upgrade my PS3 40GB version HDD to Seagate Momentum 160GB SATA 5400rpm.

The upgrade process was quite simple but my batch of PS3 40GB version is different from the online PS3 FAQ or the user manual. The HDD casing is much easier to take out compare to my other friend's PS3 80GB version. Just take out the Blue screw and pull the handle, the HDD will pop out by itself.

However, after I install a new HDD, the PS3 menu never come out, there is a message ask me to insert any Media Storage containing PS3 software 2.36 or later.

Lucky I manage to download the version 2.36 into my USB Thumb Drive and the console able to detect it. The software upgrade process took about 10 minutes to complete.

Now my PS3 got 149GB ... later tonight will upgrade to version 2.40.

PS3 firmware 2.40 has been suspended due to some technical problem after downloading it. So, i guess better wait for a while before updating the system wink.gif

Bros, I need help and confirmation here. Hope you guys don't mind. I read all the faqs, yet I want to confirm it.

I planned to buy HP w2207h and use for PS3 and speakers as well. With the monitor mentioned, what else do I need buy in order to finish my PS3 setup and ready to go? Does this monitor supports HDCP?

Signal Input
DVI-D, VGA

Interfaces
1 x VGA - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15), 1 x DVI-D

Link : HP w2207h

1. I still need a Y-splitter for the speaker?
2. Still need the VGA box?
3. Sorry for being noob.

Any extra inputs will appreciated. Thanks a lot.
