Hi there, anyone can recommend me the cheapest Bluetooth headset to use with my PS3? On a very tight budget now..

tight budget.... dont need to buy BT headset lah like that.
i just use the same one on my phone. but thats the official sony ericsson one. so mahal a bit.
the china brand ones should work too. i think.

ok. first of all the external HDD/pendrive needs to be in FAT32 format otherwise the ps3 doesnt recognise the drive.

then you can just dump all the files on the drive. it will be easier if you create folders on the drive such as:

MUSIC
VIDEOS
PHOTOS

i think those are the file names... but if the vids or what not doesnt come up automatically, press triangle on the USB Drive from the XMB and click display all. and it should show up there.

actually its better to hook up the ps3 using the network cable. more secure line. apparrently on MGO you cannot host unless you are connected via network cable.

1) What's the use of the PS3 storage? Shops are selling at PS3 20gb, 40gb, 80gb, 120gb. Why do we need storage? I thought we are playing using disc? and save with memory cards?

2) If I bought PS3 20gb, am I able to upgrade it to 80gb and so on? If yes, do I replaced my 20gb with 80gb, or are there 2 or more slots available?
*
20gb is hard to find.

storage is to put whatever you want on the drive. some games install data onto the drive. such as MGS4 it installs around 4 gig or onto your drive. also its supposed to be a media center. so you put music. movies and all kinds of stuff. some people partition the drive and put linux onto their ps3s.

firmware 2.6 includes some of these things...

* Safe Mode
* Blu-Ray Disc Theme Support
* HDD Data can be accessed and deleted in-game
* 3-D Secure Support
* Improved System Stabilty

was wondering what is safe mode?

----

also yeah the reports of the 2.6 bricking ps3s are a bit odd. some people losing ps2 compatibility. some just their bluray doesnt work some everything crashes. strange.

partition... are you putting linux on your ps3?

if linux is on your ps3. the linux partition is susceptible to viruses correct? even though linux hardly has any.
