Help Needed
 

Hi everyone,

I just got my first ps3, and of course it has the latest software version on it(4.21) :/

Will I need to buy some hardware in order to downgrade?

This ps3 is the old 80gb (BC) version, SERIAL: (REMOVED) CECHE01

I have a few original Xbox's that I soft-modded ages ago, but this is my first modern gaming system.

Videos/movies are the main reason I got the ps3. Blu-Ray is awesome too!

So the reason I found this website, is that I was trying to setup a wired connection from my ps3 to my pc, since that seems to be the fastest(and only) way to to move very large video files to the ps3.


For instance I have a 10gb hd video file I want to play on my ps3. I can play it from my pc using TVersity, but I think it might lose quality/buffering. I also tried to copy the file from TVersity, but it failed.

The ps3 does come with a warranty from GameStop, and that will be void if I break the seal they put on the system, I'd like not to do that if I could.

I might just have to get an Xbox 360 to get what I want. :laugh:

PS!!

No way to downgrade without opening it up.

Look here at Progskeet.

Forget the ps3
 

Maybe I can buy blu-ray burner that can burn BD-RW so I can use them like a HD.

Anyone know of a good place I can buy one?

The PS3 doesn't support burned stuff. CFW or otherwise.

If I burn HD movies in the right file type to a BD-RE DL, it will play on my ps3 right?

not on 4.21 it wont

If you want to go for the easy path get an Xbox360 ;) Next time don't post the serial number of your PS3. With the model it's enough.

Since when?

I know the ps3 can play movies, and I have allot of DVD/blu-ray software.
So if I burn a movie to a disc, why would that not play?

EDIT: also if I burn copys of my other blu-ray movies, why would that not work on my ps3?

I just tested my ps3 with a few DVD's that I have burned, and some of them worked!

Is there anything different in regards to burnt blu-ray discs playing on the ps3?

PS!
