Jan 15, 2008 7:41 pm - Hey grunter my computer desk is small first of all....my ps3 sits on my computer desk so i can easily access the files and the internet without alot of moving secondly my computer desk is packed with so much junk, thirdly the ps3 is less than a arms length away and so is the bong so when i must of grabbed it to smoke the most likely place would be on my desk away from me and in a clean spot
thout the ps3 cant run saved data larger then 2 gigs from hd? (due to firmware security) ?
Another load of bullshit rumors. As bad as the "PS3 copy protects the disc so you can only play it on the same console" and the Xbox 360’s "Chip crackers".
