PS3 questions

[Langdale Forest]

Does a PS3 work with a non HD TV, as long as it has got a scart socket?

If you need to upgrade the hard drive, can you transfer the data from the old one onto the new one?

Yes to the first point, as for the hard drives I'm not sure.

Back up your files on a usb, and you can then install them onto your new hard drive

Can you get USB sticks big enough, or will it work with several different ones?

Using it with a non-HDTV kind of defeats the point, it will look awful and there will quite a few details you can't make out. My mate has just got a PS3 and was using it on a normal telly and said that he couldn't tell who was on his team when playing Battlefield 3. Then he upgraded to a small HDTV and everything was dandy. I was the same when I first got my 360, had to get a proper telly before I realised what the graphics were actually like.

Would those graphics be worse than a PS2s?

Nope.

of course i think they are going to be an different change in it which we don't like.

No way, but when you get round to hooking it up to HD then you'll really notice the difference and wonder why you didn't do it sooner. F'rinstance I bought Test Drive Unlimited when I was still using a normal telly and there was a bit of the display that I didn't have a clue was telling me, when I got the HDTV it was clear.

If you get a PS3 then you won't be disappointed, but if you'll want to spring for a better TV as soon as you can afford to, especially as you can pick up half decent HDTVs for reletively little money now.

Also when I used to play Call of duty, half of the time I couldnt see where shots were coming from, then after I upgraded to a HDTV you can see further into a distance. A worthy upgrade!
