didn't make a darn bit of difference either. it was 149/160 which is expected, but it kept saying 139/149 available. there was a quick format, but i decided for the full in case there was anything recoverable that was taking up space. nope.
my 320gb external copied 58gb of info to restore, but during the restore, it said it couldn't restore everything. all the theme's were corrupted, and nothing else restored, so i have to re download 58gb of stuff from the store (397 items). i spent 5+ hours waiting on that crap to back up.
i should have RE tried it, but already downloaded tons of stuff, and it says it will wipe again before restoring.
hdd works fine, man. just the restoring process screwed me time-wise (and my internet provider will gripe about my downloads, lol). at least when i'm done i will have double the space. with my habits, that will be good for life of ps3 (i only use it for games. no movie d/ls etc). thanks alot, but. i'll bump you & let you know when i get it all to normal (you may not care, but it'll be a bump, lol).
thanks again, man. lmk when you try out the Move.
