I downloaded a couple of vehicles for Motorstorm but have no idea where I go to manage game add ons like this. Can someone tell me where to navigate to on the Menu Bar to get to the stuff.

Most games will install some data onto the HDD when you first put them into the drive. When you download an add-on, it's just added to the same install file. Unfortunately, you cannot delete specific add-ons.

When you download for instance, a new Motorstorm car skin, it gets automatically installed into the Motorstorm data file.

The file is located in "Game Data Utility" folder, and then "Motorstorm" however you can not add/remove content from the game once it is installed unless you completely delete this file and then start over. (your career progress and settings will all be saved, as this file is in the "Save Data Utility" folder.

Does anybody know if anything else important is saved in the GAME DATA UTILITY folder?

I recently had to send my PS3 to Sony because it stopped working, and they sent me a new unit, which means that when I tried to restore the backed-up data from the old unit, it wouldn't copy "certain copy-protected files" at first, I freaked out thinking all the games and add-ons I had PAID for were lost, until I found that you can re-download them in the PSN account info section. But I'm still curious to know if any other info is stored in those files.

And now I get to go through the loborious pain of re-downloading all my PSN downloads. the whole 50 or so of them! I guess I know what I'll be doing over the 3-day weekend.
