Paid Members Murtz Posted May 14, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted May 14, 2010 I've just got a new PS3 slim. Is there an easy way to transfer all the data off my old one onto the new one? And if not, how hard is the hard way?  Cheers. If you go on 'System Settings' (I think its called that), you'll find an option called 'Backup Utility. It then asks you whether you want to back up data or restore data. You'll need an ethernet cable going from one PS3 to the other.. and from then its just a simple transfer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOlympicHero Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Got a dvd recorder and when I record a programme it works fine. But when I try to copy it on my pc it just registers it as a blank disc and not sure why. Ive tried watching the disc on my xbox, ps2 and another dvd player and it works fine. Dunno why it wont work on the pc. Its a phillips and even had same prob with a argos basic I bought 5 years ago. Any help?  With one of my DVD recorders it won't play on other recorders without "finalizing" or some other silly term which essentially makes the disc read only. Have a look around for such an option, it may be that but I will say it may not. Worth a try though.  Whenever I finish using a disc I always finalize it. I dont think it would work on my xbox if I didnt do that. Their must be some way to make it copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, can I back up my data onto an external harddrive, then restore it on the new one, rather than using a cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Au Posted May 18, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 Is there a plan to do the CD swap again this year? Yep, I'll be doing it at the start of June. Although I can't find last years thread, even from looking through the Google cache so I may forget some of the new rules that people wanted implemented last year.

KingOfMetal Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Where is the cheapest place to get a 28 - 32 inch LCD TV from?  Richer Sounds  I bought my 32inch LCD from them last year - LG 32inch LCD HDTV. They really knew what they were talking about. And for for a 5 year warrenty it is only 10% of the price of the product, unlike at places like Currys were you pay a set-amount every month.
