I can just let it run overnight. It was just something like 4 hours or so and I wanted to see if I could get it quicker.Quote:

The last firmware update for the PS3, version 4.10, added an audio option allowing players to hear their own voice echoed through the new Wireless Stereo Headset peripheral. Since implementing the feature, Sony has heard some complaints; this new firmware update, version 4.20, will add new audio options.
If you're using a Wireless Stereo Headset, you will be able to either turn the functionality completely off, or you can select from one of five different levels of intensity, the PlayStation Blog says. Sony will also add an option for virtual surround sound when using the Wireless Stereo Headset to watch Blu-ray or DVD movies when the update drops tomorrow.
Other non-audio additions include more flexibility when setting how long before the system will shut itself down, and an the option to manage save files in bulk.
Will this update affect those of us who use other manufacturers' headsets? (i.e. Astro A40s)Quote:

Also had to get a Seagate 500GB portable hard drive to do the backup. Wasn't too happy about that but I guess it beats getting a new PS3...I can also use the portable drive to automatically back up my laptop, since I lost mulitiple beats and various music files due to having 2 laptops crash over the years.
Escobar, I'll be curious about your backup/restore/upgrade results. I've been considering upgrading my HDD, but I know there are certain files that can't be backed up using the normal backup method, and so I'm a little hesitant to do it with as much data as I've got right now.
So it took longer than I expected buy my system was back up and running after about 5 hours. It took forever to take the screws off of the hard drive. They were a B*. After I got home from work was the first official time I decided to hop on and mess around after restoring the system. Just make sure you have the firmware update on your backup drive or you will have to wait to download it from the PC as the PS3 will not boot up w/o it.
Playing NCAA I had to redownload the online pass, but that was no problem. It seemed that the initial time files were read it took longer, but that could be from it trying to find the file in a different sector on a bigger hard drive. Once I accessed a file, subsequent times after it loaded up faster than when using the stock hd. My custom playbook however still maintained it's formations but introduced several blank spots which made it take alot longer to switch base formations (ie Shotgun to Pistol). Then came the freeze when I tried to do a formation audible on offense, so I cut the game off and will wait until '13 pretty much since I'm getting the Season Pass.
My trophies are going to take forever to sync so I still haven't done that yet, but when you play a game it syncs that games trophies to your system. Everything in XMB looks exactly the same as before on my old hard drive. Same themes and custom icons I set for my User logins.
I played Rock Band 2 and all my songs and DLC were still there (I heard there was a problem w/ copying copy protected files) but I think they fixed this issue with firmware 3.56 2nd release.
Had to start LBP under my 2nd account, because that's the one I dl'd it under for free. Once I did that I hopped back on regular account and all my progress was there along with my DLC and unlockables. They just re-registered as new/unused items with the green glow (no problem there).
All in all, very successful with no hiccups and no problems of missing dlc, game saves, or downloaded games that I previously read could be issues. It seems that games that run off the hard drive and reading files from the hd have improved speed/performance.
After playing the NCAA '13 demo it definitely runs faster and smoother. I loaded up the demo, went through the menus, and started the oregon vs usc game about 10-15 seconds faster than on my old hd. There were no stutters or pauses when loading menus like I had before...it was very much improved
Just so I'm reading you right, Escobar, you just did the normal backup/restore method? Nothing special? And you haven't noticed anything missing?
I've upgraded twice and have not noticed anything missing.Quote:

Correct. Settings>System Settings>Backup Utility>Backup
Thanks. I think I may be getting my wires crossed. I was remembering that the Backup utility didn't restore everything. But that might have been to another system, not the same system with a different HDD.Quote:

This just came today :))

What did the Gold Box price end up being on those?
It wasn't those. It was some odd small headset that went for $15.Quote:

They'd be too uncomfortable to me, I think. I'm very particular about my headsets...
Try them on, if you ever get the chance. I can't imagine you'd think that way, if you did. But, if you're strange like that, maybe.Quote:

Unlikely I'll ever have the chance, but if I do, sure. I have had the chance to try a lot of similar looking Sony headphones over the years (similar shape to the earpiece, similar size of the bar for the top of the head), and I haven't liked those, so that's what I'm basing it on.
Gotcha.Quote:

I can't believe it took my PS3 almost 3 1/2 hours to install Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One.
PSN is probably gonna be slow Friday afternoon/evening when it's slammed with Season Ticket folk.
There aren't going to be that many for NCAA. Madden would be considerably worse. I don't think it'll be much worse (if it all) than for a normal Tuesday Update, at least one that has worthwhile stuff.Quote:

This is pretty cool. I might check this out.

Why did the Laugh Factory Xross the Media Bar? We're stopping right there, before even coming up with a horrible ending to that joke, before this fun news gets depressing. LA's Laugh Factory comedy club will release its own streaming video app on PS3 September 1, allowing you to watch both recorded and live performances from stand-ups.
Through November, all the content will be free. Starting in December, if you want to enjoy the streaming comedy, it'll cost $3 a month. Feel free to institute your own two-drink minimum, and perhaps hire a local comic to warm up the room (your living room) before you start the show. You know, to make sure you get the most from your subscription.
The PlayStation Network will be down for maintenance starting at 8 am PST this Thursday and will be back up around midnight. Sony says that players may still be able to play online but the PlayStation Store, account registration and account management will not be available.
According to Sony, as long as you have signed in to PSN within five days prior to the maintenance, you will be able to play games online and use apps.
I have 2 beta codes for Dust 514. First two replies will get them via PM.
1 please.Quote:

If I knew you hadn't, I would have just given you one right away without even asking. I knew you were excited to try it. On the good side, it's only for this weekend. I hadn't read that until I sent off the first code. Kind of stupid, but oh well.
