The 2.40 to 2.41 is a PS3 firmware update that isn't supposed to affect any games. Some were speculating this might have had an affect on the PS3 roster files but it probably doesn't. A very small amount of PS3's got locked up/bricked with the 2.40 firmware update which is why Sony pulled it and quickly released 2.41. They are fixing any PS3s that got bricked for free.

The 60 GB is the best PS3 in terms of backwards compatibility (BC). Its 100% BC (with a few exceptions) while the 80 GB units are only about 75 to 80% BC as it is based on software emulation. The 40 GB units are 0% BC but rumour has it there will be a firmware update in October that may allow them to have the same backwards compatibility as an 80 GB unit.

Only the PS3/360 versions of NCAA will have the roster sharing online as far as I know. The PS2 version will still have to use the max drive for file sharing. If you don't hook up your PS3 via the internet, you can still easily copy the roster files off the internet (whenever that happens) and copy them to your PS3 via a thumb drive/memory stick.

wow! thanks rudy, amazing stuff!
so, to confirm, I can get a 60 gig and still be backwards compatable with all my sports games- EA , 2k etc ? I dont have to shoot for the 80 gig?I would ultimately ratherget rosters from on line lockers because it would easier- basically just going online. the other stuff sounds like extra money and im sure its easy , step by step. But I dont know how to do it yet. but thank you for taking the time duuude

That makes so much sense!

I guess I'm out of the loop, but of all the slang, this one is ridiculous.

Unfortunately that's what's wrong with the world these days. As long as you get what you want it's alright but if it was your hard work being stolen would you be happy I had the roster that Joe stole from you?
