  • Make sure the system is off.
  • Hold down the Power Button for 5-6 seconds – until you hear the second beep.
  • That’s it, your video settings are reset and you should be able to choose your input and configure it from there.

How to upgrade your PS3 hard disk – Tech Made Easy. This is a nice step-by-step guide. My friend has a newer PS3 so it’s not an issue for her, but it is still nice to know. I wonder how common it is that people do this kind of upgrade? Seems to me that it is a good opportunity to put another OS on it as well.

ARogan: PS3 Hard Drive Upgrade and Yellow Dog Linux. Interesting that they chose YDL. I tried it on a PowerPC mac many years ago and it worked but it wasn’t very useable. I wonder how many PS3 owners are using other operating systems on it?

Online Video Game Rental Review 2011 – TopTenREVIEWS. Do you like to rent ps3 games but hate the prices charged by RedBox and others? I have a friend who loves to play PS3 games, so I often visit her and play two player games with her. She is trying a GameFly trial period and seems very excited. Has anyone used GameFly and what has your experience been?
A few years ago I used to go to BlockBuster and rent ps2 games. The selection was poor and when I asked about it, the employee said that the more that people rent the more they will offer. This seemed a circular argument to me. How can you rent stuff when they choose poor titles? I think what business often fail to do is to appreciate the passion of their audience. When they compete on just price, they miss the essential part of what the consumers of that segment want. I wouldn’t have minded paying a higher price for quality games that cost a little more new.
