Blzr you might want to consider an external HDD and maybe put your music and non essential gaming things on it.

can you just plug in a western digital or seagate external drive via USB?

Im not sure about the compatibility of that one but i haven't heard anyone having any particular issues yet.

It's usb supported so it shouldnt be much of an issue. That's the great thing about having a PS3... I posted a couple of days ago that my bro. is using a PC usb controller as an extra controller... and its sixaxis too

Odogg, I have used a Western Digital external HD in the past and they worked good.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

I don't know if it's just me, but in the DVD/Blu-ray/CD volume settings, when I put it up to +2 for louder sounds, it actually sounds pretty crappy. That said, I put it at -2 for possibly the best quality sound. Perhaps you guys should test this and verify if I'm hearing this correctly.

And thanks for the HDD suggestions, guy.

Interesting you say that, using a USB external HD does it save to it automatically or is it only there so you can transfer files to save space on the built in HD? Ive been thinking of picking up a new HDD to replace the 40GB I have in it currently but havent gotten around to it, if a USB external HDD does the trick then that would certainly work better for me.

If you're going to use an external drive make sure you format it to FAT32, unless you are talking about a USB external drive?

Yes. I have a WD Passport, and it works just fine on my PS3. Just make sure it's FAT32.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Man, I've spent the last twenty minutes looking at stuff about those trigger mods. I really want them, but ten bucks is a little crazy. Ten buck is only ten bucks, but it seems like they should be like two bucks - hell, 99 cents.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

LOL, I hear you Undefeated but I just said forget it, ill get my 10 bucks worth playing with them, unless you can find some in a mom & pops store.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Yeah, I'm probably just gonna break down and do it. Part of the problem is that I want to score a DS3, too, and those are already expensive enough without tacking on another $10. But, whatever, I've "thrown away" ten bucks a million times. What's once more?

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Yeah just do it man, its not like you'll care a month from now.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Exactly.
