    If your PS3 hard drive is corrupted can you back up your files and upgrade the PS3 or do you need to ship it in to the company?

    its ok now because it took me about 25 min to get them screws out but the screws wasn’t really in there very tight then i seen that after turning them with my plyers they really loosen up really easy but the screw heads SUCK they strip very easy but thanks anyway

    hi does any1 know if once you have finished restoring the data to the new hard drive, if any online data such as ranks on call of duty will still be there….i think they r coz they are on the online account and not the hdd?….also when backing up the hdd will that also backup any downloaded things from the playstation store, or will that need to be redownloaded?

  15. kirkenshrir Says:

    Nice video but just one question… What do you do with all those files you backed up on the external drive??

    Maybe you guys could have talked about that rather than focusing all that time on the “being careful not to loose those screws”!… ;-)

  16. luisacer89 Says:

    5 times total, good fight.

    wht kinda laptop hard drive do i need

  19. whatblack2284 Says:

    if you back up every thing then yes its saved… how ever if you don’t you have 1 chance. you can move every game save with an usb device. but movies will be lost. downloaded game from the PS store can be downloaded from the store again (FOR FREE)but only 3 times total

  21. owner1211 Says:
