What do you do with your 60gig? - Blu-ray Forum

aggisport · 06-06-2008, 03:40 PM

What do you do with all that memory? I guess I'm not seeing the potential of the PS3 in this aspect. Do you guys save music and movies to the hard drive?

PS3-Playb3yond · 06-06-2008, 03:45 PM

Yup, I save music, download movie trailers, game trailers and stuff. I only have 30GB left now.

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Pauliesr · 06-06-2008, 03:53 PM

Me as well.

Download trailers and game demos.

Have about 600+ pictures, over 1000 MP3s and abotu 4 hours of HD home videos on it too.

Think I have about 26gb left on mine

Since many games have install options, I usually just keep my videos and music on an external drive. Though, when I move back home in August and get to have my PS3 hooked up to my theater system, I'll probably move at least my music to the PS3's hard drive, so I can finally use the PSP remote option to play my music.

haushausman · 06-06-2008, 03:58 PM

Mines full... mostly with demos. Had to delete a bunch. Then I have my WD MyBook 500 gig full with music, movies, etc.

60 gigs aint sh*t nowadays...

Shin-Ra · 06-06-2008, 04:06 PM

Unless you're a hoarder, incredibly impatient or unable to multitask, 60GB is plenty.

dk3dknight · 06-06-2008, 04:10 PM

I have a large music collection of old time cds and various other relaxing music, classical music etc..

Videos of various nature, gundam evolve and various other clips and videos from various things.

I keep a good amount of game demos, I never remove a demo unless I have beaten the game it goes to...

I usualy have to remove things, and I have crap loads of pictures of various sources and purposes..

I guess im a horder, I have 20 gigs left.

BLUCanadian · 06-06-2008, 04:10 PM

i dont see the point of filling the hard drive with music and pictures when u can just run a media server from your PC

Blu_Ray_Fan · 06-06-2008, 04:14 PM

My 60gb is full. I need to upgrade.

well, with music, the games that do allow for in-game music, need it off the HDD and not from a media server stream.

I have about 5GB left.

10GB parted for another OS
5GB music
>1GB game saves
10GB demos, PSN games
25GB game installs
5GB Movies, Pictures, and Themes

Shin-Ra · 06-06-2008, 04:19 PM

Do you really need all that music on the HDD at once? Can't you just copy over what you need when you're in the mood for it?

I have 4 gigs of music on mine too. Its nice to have it blasting while ur working on the yard or something. and if 2.4 is all that i hope and more, it will make gt5p the best game ever. i would love to listen to my own music while racing.

Shin-Ra · 06-06-2008, 04:22 PM

I just DLNA copy across what I need.

glenn-bob · 06-06-2008, 04:23 PM

i have well over 120 GB of music on my puter, yes and it's all legal! I spent a whole weekend dumping all my CD's onto my drive. Therefor the PS3 is not a good place to store my music. My bride bought me a terrabite drive last xmas and there is lotsa room left on that.

Copywriter · 06-06-2008, 04:25 PM

Just use it for game installs and saves.

I have a media hub that streams all my vids, pics and music to my TV (6TB and growing). And it's far better than the PS3 (or 360).

talk about a mood killer.

ie on my HDD I have a playlist called "F$#@ tunes". I turn it on to set the mood right, when I got a lady friend over. Now imagine if I was like. Hold on let me copy some songs over to my PS3 HDD to set the mood right, do you think id get any? probably not.

owa · 06-06-2008, 04:40 PM

I had to upgrade my hard drive because the 60-gig was full (didn't have enough space to install one of my games).

Space is being used by the following:

demos (probably 5-10 demos that vary in size)
PSN games (several, size varies)
blu-ray games (several and most install part of the game on the hard drive)
game saves (several but small)
game settings (several but small)
CDs (only 6 or 7 CDs though)
Photos (40 or so but they're not very large)
Themes (15 to 20 of them but they're not very large)
Trailers (2 or 3 trailers)

I don't think you'll get any if you start the evening with turning on your gaming console and opening the music folder called "**** tunes" either, to be honest.
