PS3's HDD Upgrade Bigger than X360's

[gtown]

Im pretty sure that "Torne" doesn't let you back up to an external device (I heard that the files were supposed to be locked to your PS3) so if this article is correct then perhaps the bonus feature of these Sony hard drives is that you can back up locked content on them?

just get an uncertified hdd...works the same

[citation][nom]mikepaul[/nom]Boy, I wish Microsoft would allow even some network backup software to be used on the 360, let alone external storage. Right now, your game save die when your HD dies. Sony seems rather cavalier in the area of possible piracy, while Microsoft does what it can so nobody does anything evil, not even altering game saves to get free Achievements. I find their valor quite annoying...[/citation]A memory card would be plenty for saved games. Anything else (videos, DLC, full downloaded games) you can re-download as many times as you need to, from XBL. Although to be fair, the HDDs they use have a pretty good track record.

God, I hope not, I like my third party peripherals, GOD DAMN IT MICROSOFT!!! the ONE time sony go and let you use 3rd party stuff instead of proprietary stuff, you go and show them its ok to use proprietary stuff by charging a fortune for all your crappy xbox addons!!!

[citation][nom]grieve[/nom]If you have PST files larger then 1.5-2 gig you are in trouble as they become corrupt around 2gig. Believe me i have seen it happen at least ten times. I tell all our users 1.5gig tops...create a new one.[/citation]
Since Outlook 2003 the limit on a PST is 20GB. However I have had a user be well under that and his PST became corrupt anyway, but theoretically a 20GB PST is now possible.

"FAT32 faster than other file systems? And isn't it free?"

Def not free it is an MicroSoft system just ask TomTom the Sat Nav people they got sued for unlicensed use.

Hmm, recording HDTV over USB 2.0? No thanks.

I was thinking the same thing. Even if you record to the internal drive then store in on the ext. drive it would not play >720 video would it?

??? I watch HD movies streamed over a cable modem (compressed of course) so I am assuming the 480Mbps of USB2.0 should handle things just fine. What is true 1080p at? 24Mbps?
