    I don't know if replacing both discs might work (it might), but I'm sure I would do it the other way around to start with: first copy the internal disc to the external USB disc and only then try to swap them. There may be system files that won't have themselves copied the usual way, so you...

    Local B&M store. Competing with three other stores in the same block. I buy most of my accessories stuff there. The 320Gb internal drives just started appearing, I haven't bought any yet (but I did buy a few external USB 2.0 "cigaret boxes" with 250Gb drives not needing an additional power...

    Thanks, David. So, 120Gb roughly $55 and 320Gb roughly $75? Cees

    What's the hard disc technology employed in the PS3? SATA? What's the physical size, standardly? 3.5"? Or differently? Cees

    There must be. The European machines play R2 SDVDs, the US machines R1. The proper URL is also in the firmware, so I guess, once you upgrade from a US ISO disc, you will also start to download upgrades from the American site. And vice versa. Cees

    I don't think there's a safe mod for the PS3. I even don't know if there's one (a safe one, that is) for any other player. The good news is: many releases are region-free. And you can play all European BDs, of course. There's a site (I just can't find the URL at the moment) publishing the...

    Congratulations, Oscar! :) It depends of course on your personal taste what to buy first. Casino Royale? BBC Complete Planet Earth Box Set? Batman? Amazon/UK has some sales: look here for a start! (Oh, and mind the region. Several US releases are region-A, some European releases are...

    Although it isn't in the same range you mentioned for the Panny (and I don't know about your intended budget anyway): I happened to notice an interesting offer in the FS hardware area (at the start of the second week of this month)... (All I can add is, that the VP50 is a marvellous machine...

    Dave, Is changing the Panny for a video processor an option? Or are prices of those too much higher? I own the DVDO VP50, and I'm sure that would solve the problem if I had the same projector. Cees

    Jari, Sorry, my memory played a trick on me. It wasn't HDMI, it has to do with the outputstream not being able to get forced to 1080p60 all the time: A BD-player that scales all output to1080p60? Isn't it? And how tough is that? Or was it solved with this newest firmware upgrade...

    Looks like a mature BD player now! :) The OP of this thread has since "replaced" his PS3 by a stand-alone BD player, because of HDMI connection problems (losing connection under specific circumstances, elaborated in another thread). I'm still on the fence (with ever diminishing hopes for a...
