also keep in mind, if you want saves and whatnot to transfer you'll have to use the backup utility. the big question i had and now i can confirm is YES, copy prohibited files will transfer over no problem. This will obviously require an additional storage device. |
$55 for 500GB? What is wrong with it LOL...isn't that cheap for 500GB? Anyway, I don't want to break my PS3 or have it not work. You sure its idiot proof? What kind of additional storage device?
