Does anyone know how to put pics on the PS3? I dragged and dropped a few pics on my thumb drive, then inserted it into the PS3 viausb port. The music on the thumb drive shows up but not the pics. Also, once I do get the pics up, is it possible to use it as my avatar?

You can also use a memory stick if you have the 60gig, or you can use your ipod, put your pics on your iod then transfer then to PS3.

You should be able to go to the pictures menu on the XMB and grab them right off your thumb drive. Once you've got them on your hard drive you can use one of your pics as your avatar. I've done it on my PS3, so I know it works.

you just highlight the memory card under images (on the PS3), and then hit triangle and say view all. I don't think you can get a custom icon. Also, does anyone know if you can make your background an image yet, or does this come out with a firmware update in the future (for PSP it was 2.0)

Point to your drive in the XMB and push triangle, you will have an option for 'Display All'. PS3 supports most all image formats, but if it doesn't it will say 'unsupported data' for your pictures, meaning your format is bad, or there is some other problems with the pictures.

How about you read the instructions, do some of your own research?

I think he means that you can set your own pictures for your sign in avatar, but you cant for the online avatar that everyone else sees. because i've changed my sign in one (the one on the far left), but it's not like it really matters; you're the only one who will ever see it.
