Transfering data with only a 40 GB Playstation 3 ??!

Hmmmmmm...Excuse me to bother you all but I seem to need help !!

My problem is....that I just bought a 40GB Playstation 3 and I wanted to buy a bigger HDD....I played some games like GTA 4, Rock Band, Oblivion, Motorstorm, Untold Legends : Dark Kingdom and I have saves from all these games... I don't know if I'll be able to keep my saves...because I don't have a USB key and don't know if it works... I have a MP3 Player Samsung G5 but when I plug it in ... it's said unknown periperal...and I can copy nothing on it

So please..What can I do ?! Will I lose all my saves if I want to buy another HDD ??

Thanks for reading and I would be pleased if someone helps me!!

So I just have to buy an external HDD with USB port and I'll be ok ? I just don't want to lose my game saves...Yannick_18

That would work. Game saves generally aren't that large so you should be fine with a memory stick and reader for what you have now. When you get the larger HDD pick up a HDD Enclosure as well (pretty inexpensive, $30-ish) and you'll have a dedicated external HDD for back ups.

Also, if you go this far, copy your PS3 data to a PC. Then put your new hard disk in the enclosure and copy it back. Files copied over and in the end, you have the HDD enclosure and a 40 GB hard disk to back up your PS3 or your PC...

Hey:Taking the time to read your post, I have the 40GB PS3 and wanted to know, if changing the PS3 HDD will let me play PS2 games?hermez

Nope.

or what would be the main reason for changin the HDD??Thanks¡¡hermez

More HDD space for pictures, music, movies, games, etc.

You could pick up a used Slim PS2 for the price of a decent HDD upgrade.
