installing PS3 games to hard drive

hey people

um not sure if this is any where else but i coldnt find a topic so sorry if there is.

i heard you could install certain games to your hard drive and all i want to know is how do you do it :S

I know this is off topic, but i am having touble finding this else where. I have a PS3 and hook it up using an HDMI cable. I have since had to down grade to less of an HD tv and have to use HD component cables to hook up my system. I plugged everything in and can not get a signal to go back through to my component cables output port. the HD port is still the active one. I set it up on another TV with HDMI and it works no problem. Any suggestions?Silspar24

That's a very easy fix, all you need to do is connect the cables you want to use and have the TV on. And from standby on your PS3 use the power button on the console to turn it on but just hold the power button until the second beep and then release it at that time. This will allow the PS3 to auto-detect the correct connection on it's own. This will work anytime you change the cable type of connection. The only thing you need to do when using the AV connection (composite or component) is go into the settings and when using component cables is select the component cable manually.

ah i see, some of my frnds said you can install some PS3 games onto your hardrive and it makes it go quicker :SDrW-2k4

All you can install a small file that helps start a game faster (this is from developers that really don't understand how to develope games on the Blu-Ray disc). The developers that use the Blu-Ray and hardware in the PS3 really don't need these installs. The thing is you will still need the disc in the drive to play the games.

It's possible to download/install PSN PS3 games onto the HDD.

So I would find it strange if it wasn't possible to download/install a PS3 game onto the HDD via a BD.
