flameboy Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 So should I follow the advice in that link I posted? Because I think that's what he suggested, backing it up, putting on PC and then transferring again... Fookin complicated. Are you all saying that atm the data on the 250GB is useless because it won't be recognised or used if I just bung it in the system? Seems weird, seeing as you're basically uploading the same stuff onto again but just from a different HDD. YES!!!! That is what we are saying, its because its not the same data its all compressed etc...and stored ready for a restore and the PS3 can't unpack all this stuff from a drive and then at the same time rewrite it back onto the same drive to run again...

dwarf Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 OK, so if I find enough space on one of my computers (30gb roughly?) I plug in the 250gb with the backed up stuff, put it on the pc. Then I swap HDDs over, plug in the 40gb external HDD and upload the computer stuff onto that and then I plug the 40gb externalised into the ps3 and restore it? If so then I'm glad that's cleared up.

Emasher Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 As others have said, connect the 40GB drive to your PC in the case, make sure you can see invisible files (I have no idea if any of the files are invisible, so you might as well just do this), copy everything onto your PCs hard drive, then put the 250 GB HDD in the case and copy them on to it. I don't see why doing that wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarf Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 That's what I felt when I was playing through inFAMOUS but it doesn't ever really reach a high part or a really big quality section. That's why I didn't think it was special, the game never came to anything. And I was so looking forward to it before release. And just to get you all exasperated a little more, I have still have no idea what I need to do for the new HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATtheHAT Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 InFamous is growing on me. Very slowly. With what you've played so far, would you say it is better/worse than Prototype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 With what you've played so far, would you say it is better/worse than Prototype? It shits on Prototurd from a great height. Don't get me wrong, for the first 10 minutes, Prototype is amazingly fun. After that it becomes repetitive and the city, New York, looks simply awful. InFamous seems to have started off really slow but a couple hours in I'm find it more enjoyable. I'm not sure what's changed exactly. That's what I felt when I was playing through inFAMOUS but it doesn't ever really reach a high part or a really big quality section. That's why I didn't think it was special, the game never came to anything. And I was so looking forward to it before release. Yeah, that might be a problem. In retrospect, I don't think the demo was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Story on 1Up about PS2 download service coming to PS3 (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3176138). I nearly picked up a PS3 the other day at Meadowhall, but a combination of big crowds and the fact I start back at uni today put me off. This will wait until Christmas now... although it'll probably really wait for Heavy Rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATtheHAT Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Anybody who bought a tickit to the Eurogamer Expo, did you get an email confirmation from Eurogamer? I got a receipt for my payment from RBS Worldpay (whatever that is), but on the website it mentions a 'Barcode' that you have to print off, and I can't see one.

MATtheHAT Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Just checked and its not there, I have emailed customer support to have it re-sent or whatever. I'm getting really hyped for this, it should be really good. I am especially looking forward to having a go at GoWIII and possibly Heavy Rain.

Ryan Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 ^ That's pretty dumb. They should just do it like top-up receipts or gift cards. Should be like iTunes cards to have on display behind a counter or something. Atleast then you can recycle the card or whatever they're printed on.
