Also, he ain't the only guy with a video on it.
You are right... but what firmware did they bring in the feature of storing it on the HDD? The video guy was using 3.73 (because the PS3 was asking for it) 3.73 wasn't that long ago... I would have thought it was implemented a while back...

found this, not sure if its relevant.

EDIT: derp: you mean NOR based phats and all slims (all slims are NOR) CANT do this trick, regardless of FW, so your 160gb phat is a NOR? or am I suffering from heat stroke here?
