    Thanks for the help. I am getting it for the standard 300. I realize that the GE cards have the never settle bundle but I either have the games or am not interested in them. If I find a really good deal on one next week maybe I will go that route. Either way, I am glad that I don't have to make...

    Connecting an external hard drive to two systems through USB

    This is probably a stupid question. But does fat32 still only support files up to 4GB? It sounds like I'm better off just putting the money towards a lower end media PC that can play anything.

    Connecting an external hard drive to two systems through USB

    Hello, I have searched the internet for an answer to this question and couldn't find anything. So I figured I'd ask here I want to purchase an external hard drive and connect it to two devices through USB. Namely to my Playstation 3 for videos, and my PC for file storage. Only one of the...
