Moving the PS3

I just got the PS3 for Christmas this year and I cannot wait to get started with it but there is a question that I need to know right away.

I am going to be putting the system in my bedroom for the time being then hopefully later this year my new room in the bedroom will be ready as I'm going to put it in there but I was reading in the manual last night that if the system is moved it could damaged the hard drive and probably lose data so is that true and is there a easy way to move it without any problems?.

Also I have a tv in my room that I'm going to be setting my ps3 to is Sd but I think the tv that is going to the basement is a hd so would I need to change the settings on the system around?.

well my ps3 has gone from my room, to my parents room, to the living room, to my friends house over 100 times in total and i have had no problems. Just to be safe make sure there is no disk inside and it is quite obviously off.

You will loose data or corrupt data if you shake it around or drop it. i have actually dropped mine as it fell out of the bag i was carrying it in, there was no actual damage that would matter except that the little flap which hides the multimedia ports fell off which i didnt really care much for in the first place.

Sorry, you're asking if a video game console can be moved from one place to another? I mean, come on! You're not moving a house of cards.

You shouldn't move the PS3 while it is ON. Moving it while it is turned off is not a problem. All HDD's "park" when they are shut down, meaning all the moving parts are locked. As long as you don't drop it down the stairs you should be fine.

Turn on "multi-channel audio" or something like that in the audio menu so that the audio isn't disabled in certain games.

You will be 100% fine. A friend of mine has a PS3 hat he tosses around in his back seat all the time. People sit in the back seat and throw it around like its some kinda cardboard box lol. He doesnt care....lol... O yea it works fine some how....

If you're kicking it like a soccer ball to your bedroom I can see how the hard drive could get messed up. But just picking it up and moving it will be fine, so long as the system itself is not on.
