Agreed, they're likely looking to drag it past the time window. It's unlikely they'll want it returned as they would take a loss on return shipping and the listing fee.Quote:

I'm not sure how they made money in the first place unless it's lightweight.
I suggest checking the PS3 disc slot when it arrives. I stuck two power cables in that box and the cable original to the PC PSU is in its bag inside the box. If you want to check the PC HW, clear a spot, discharge yourself, and you should be fine sticking stuff on the product boxes. That's what I do with a wooden table as the work surface :wacko:.
it's pretty light 2-3 lbs maxQuote:

been playing lego star wars 3 for the last couple days I gotta say this one is my favorite of the lego star wars games the force awakens was also really good. they really improved the games with 3 and again with force awakens.
When you have the time, please turn on the PS3 and check the disc slot. Insert a disc and then eject if it loads it. To turn off you simply hold the power button (front, not the PSU switch), it should beep and it'll turn itself off.

You won't need anything as long as your kit runs on the board but 16GB should be a pretty significant improvement on the usability front. You can check the support list if you want to search up specific kits.

I wouldn't update the BIOS unless there's some issue. Hopefully you'll be able to find a case soon.
I got distracted I'll do that shortly.Quote:

it actually works on my tv :ahhh: the drive is working fine.Quote:

Excellent :D. Some games will probably look fine while others will be illegible or hard to read. I'm not up to date and this might be avoidable but, as far as I know you need a PS3 game in the drive if you play disc games from HDD.
Understandable, I try not to use Amazon when I can avoid it.
I used to a lot. I've been a little tempted to get prime but I don't buy from them enough every month to justify it.Quote:

I dumped them a while ago. Rates had gone up too much, friends stapled onto the account didn't want to shell out more, and I wasn't buying enough there to justify it when I had in the past.Quote:

what size was the hdd in the ps3?
Aside from generally being sick of Amazon :wacko:.
Unlikely. The other services are pennies to run for them but the shipping has a real cost. I would've happily ditched such services if it were an option but I still would've cancelled it at some point.Quote:

If you have a larger 2.5" drive I think you can safely swap it in and now would be the time to do it. I recall skimming through the PSX Place thread and thinking it sounded like it wasn't worth the trouble though.

Yeah it's actually easier to install larger hdd before you instal cfw on ps3.
I've always done it that way.
You can pull 500gb drives from junk pvr's and the like, that's how I got most of mine.
Pretty sure x360 rgh hdd upgrade is easier but I've only done it once.
He could back stuff up and revert to OFW and then reinstall CFW after but I don't think it's worth the trouble.Quote:

I don't think you can do that anymore because they force a prime trial(or membership) to get the free shipping. I could be wrong since I haven't ordered anything in a while over $25 that was sold and shipped by them directly.Quote:

at this point I just want a full refund I'll look for a better keyboard at another time.
Glad to hear that all that gay sex didn't kill you :)Quote:
