Well now, that's good information! I also got wondering if there is a jailbreak for PS3s like iPhones. Take Sony out of the equation entirely. Need to do a little research before throwing this thing away.

I've heard that you can jailbreak the fucking balls off the PS3, but never looked into it. I still see mine as a solid piece of gaming hardware.

My solid piece of gaming hardware now likes to turn itself off at random intervals. The power supply might be fried, or it could be the main board. Repairing it is just not economical.

So I bought a new 12GB super slim (AWESOME VALUE) to replace it yesterday. Apparently you can't just put the old HDD into the new one and continue as normal like you can on the Xbox. I either need to buy a new HDD or fuck about backing up and restoring onto a shitty old unreliable drive and copying cross.

Cue many hours of retarded HDD wrangling.

*angry face*

Take my advice, trade yours for a bunch of bourbon. Much better payoff.

Bourbon would only last until 2am next Sunday, but a PS3 is forever.

Until it breaks down.

I've done that PS3 backup and transfer a couple of times (when I swapped drives to a 500GB and again when old fatty's blu-ray assembly crapped out), and that shit takes forever.

I've decided to just get a 1 month subscription to PS Plus and transfer my saves across. Everything else can be downloaded or installed again.

It's cheaper than getting a new HDD to use for half a day, plus I get some games for free for that month.

I just tried playing Tomb Raider Underworld since I never finished it back in the day. Maybe I need this.
