its on the front page. just go to first page and look for the proxy info.

i never tried it myself so yeah. seems to work for others though.

put in the thumbdrive.
under video in xmb there should be your thumbdrive listed.
go to the file and open up the menu. (sometimes the file not there. you gotta click show all files or something like that)
click copy/transfer

i think thats correct. in my mind thats how i remember doing it. heh.

yeah dont need the special folder. ive transferred files like how unrealweapon does. much easier. cause i can just grab any ol thumbdrive and drag and drop/

Nope. Downloaded content. such as games and game add on's are linked to a certain user account. as long as the user account is on the PS3 any of the other users can access it. However if you delete the username then none of the other users can use it.

example.

Abba - User 1 - Buys and Downloads Ridgeracer.
bobmarley - User 2 - can play ridgeracer
christina - User 3 - can play ridgeracer

Abba account gets deleted from ps3.

bobmarley - cannot access ridgeracer.
christina - cannot access ridgeracer.

buy a HDD. hahaahah. make sure you buy a good one. not some ciplak no name brand one.
they are getting pretty cheap now. also make sure to get a proper screwdriver. some people dont use the correct one and it eats away at the bolt that is attached to the PS3 HDD.

phuyooo. i dont think they have a 1 tera harddisk. well a small one at least. but i saw and ext. hdd 1 tera. maxtorr for rm400 at the ikano store. the big one on the top floor. ALL IT i think? i forgot already. but i dont think you could use an ext. hdd for running your OS.

id go for the LBP. especially if you are into online play. its LOL funny type of game. good to play with friends and of course your gf. buy games from LYN members if you can. its much cheaper getting second hand games. and most people do take care of their games pretty well. in my experience at least.

well concerning the whole region thing. it depends. some games on the ps3 have multiplayer region lock. most dont. but some do. also its in regards to downloadable content. DLC. R1 games can only download DLC from R1 region. meaning USA. R3 can download from asian region. like singapore.

example. LBP R3. you want to download the metal gear solid stage add on. you can only download from R3 PSN. i prefer R3. because its a hassle trying to buy stuff from US. singapore i can just use my maybank CC no problem.

R1 gets DLC's before the rest of the world usually.

im hoping for support of all the video files. hahaha. mkv, ogg, and all of them. i dunno why they dont just put it in. haiiz.

yeah its good to get the 160gig one i think. worth it. then you dont have to waste money on a HDD swap. kinda sucky how they came out with the 40gig model. haiiiii.

Added on January 20, 2009, 4:50 pmone question. when we run the backup facility on the ps3 to an ext. HDD. the ps3 will create a seperate folder and just put ps3 stuff in there right. it wont affect any of the other files right?

Added on January 21, 2009, 9:18 am"Hi, everyone, we have a system software updates for PS3 coming soon, and I wanted to provide you with a sneak peak at the details.

The PS3 firmware update (v2.60) is designed primarily to enhance the system’s media capabilities. The key feature is a new Photo Gallery application, which delivers a suite of tools for sorting through and displaying your digital photo collection. Digital pictures can be organized in groups according to various criteria, including the camera used to take the photos, the event date and time, colors in the photos, as well as the number, ages, or facial expressions of the people pictured. You can also create slideshows set to music and build photo playlists with an easy-to-use interface. The Photo Gallery application will need to be installed separately from the XMB after you update your PS3’s firmware. To install the Photo Gallery application, go to the Photo section on the XMB, select Photo Gallery and press the X button.

The 2.60 update also includes:

* Guest access to PlayStation Store – This enables non-PlayStation Network members to browse through the storefront to check out the latest games, demos, videos, etc.
* DivX 3.11 support – Videos in this format can now be played on PS3."
