Well, to tell the truth I like watching TV and to get my TV back I found the solution: I gave him the old HD TV and PS3 and put it in the rec room&#8230; and a 55&#8243; with new Blu-ray player (no, not as good as the PS3).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, he discovered downloadable content which soon filled up the 80GB hard drive so he bought a 1TB replacement drive. The actual upgrade went just as well as the PS3 upgrade soon.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is one thing I should note: I have a 500GB GoFlex Pro USB 3 drive that I was using as the media in the backup-restore process. After quickly remembering that the PS3 needs FAT32 not NTFS it took the night to resize the NTFS partition down enough to create a FAT32 partition to backup the PS3. (I had &#8220;stuff&#8221; on the GoFlex that I didn&#8217;t want to copy elsewhere &#8211; suffice to say I ended up wasting time&#8230;.)<\/p>\n<p>The next thing I learned is that the PS3 doesn&#8217;t like USB 3. As soon as I changed the GoFlex&#8217;s adapter back to USB 2 and everything went fine. So, the tip is: use a USB 2 drive to backup your PS3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I originally bought a PlayStation 3 with my first HD TV.
