Waiting for 80GB PS3, PS3 user guide offline. - Blu-ray Forum

Jon_J · 02-28-2008, 08:58 PM

This is my first post here on PS3 forums, so go easy on me...

I'm planning on getting the 80GB model in the next month or so, and don't want to wait until the June release.
In the meantime, I want to read the user guide thoroughly while offline.
I have 2 Zaurus linux PDAs, so I can study the manual while on the go.

I have read many threads, back to pg 107, and have scoured the internet for a PDF of the user manual.
I gave up looking for a PDF version, and decided to use a program called HTTrack Website Copier.
This worked very well, and I can now read the entire manual when offline.
I was wondering if I would get into trouble if I zipped it up and attached it here for other people to use?
(it's 2.4mb)

The manual's all freely available online anyway, go ahead.

I tried to attach it, but the attachment size for zip on the forum is 97kb
Here's how I copied it.
Go to http://www.httrack.com/ and download httrack. It works in windows/linux, etc. It's free/open source.
Once installed, go to the PS3 user guide site and paste the url into the httrack software. I used the main page.
The software is easy to use on small sites and there are some settings, which I used in the past, that I forget now. (I used this on an obsolete forum long ago).
Once it's finished, all you need to do is open the "index.html" file in the folder that it creates. The link to the manual will be on this page.
