me and a friend have just discovered near a ww2 site a square hole in the ground middle of nowhere, old ladder and a tunnel network :shock: getting camcorder and getting ready to go 6 feet under :shock:


There are so many things that could go wrong, but I'm sure you know that and are taking all necessary precautions.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I'll just point out that there's at least 52 ways to die in a cave.
60 year old tunnels built to a budget might be worse.

I was going to start a list, but decided I didn't have the time.

Am I actually gonna have to install a bigger HDD in the PS3 (I've avoided it so far)? I've deleted off nearly every feasible installation and I'm still running out of space :(

Do it. Seriously.Easiest bit of tech-fiddling I've here done. Only two things 2 remember

1) Back up first (that may take a while...)
2) Remember to go to the playstation web site and download the newest firmware onto a USB stick, you may need it depending on what version your PS3 is.

Any problems with DLC do you know, or does it just copy over and work?

I did it a couple of weeks back (went from 250GB to 500GB) and the restore put everything back. As long as you log into PSN with the same account before you do the restore, it seems to restore it all.
