I was wondering if it is alright to have the ps3 in a cabinet with the door open. It has a few inches on each side and a few on the top but I can give it more room on the top by moving the shelf. Would the ps3 overheat like this? I have it outside of the cabinet but I would prefer to keep things a little neater if I can.

Well I finally got a ps3 and it's a really nice piece of hardware. I just got my internet up and running and I was wondering how to update the firmware through a flash drive. I noticed I had the option of uploading the firmware from some sort of storage device. How would I do this? If the update is small enough I might be able to do it like that. I noticed it was downloading really slow so I figured I would use my computer that has the internet directly plugged in and then transfer it. Has anyone tried this?

Well I have money for a ps3 now but I'm not sure if I should pick up an 80 gb model. I'm hearing that the 120 gb model that's replacing it will have no backwards compatability. This worries me so I'm thinking I could pick one up now and then just wait to see if there's more news before I open it. I was gonna wait for the new model, but then I heard about them possibly not including BC anymore. It seems dumb to phase it out completely because some big ps3 games are part of a series and it would suck to have my ps2 die when I want to go back and play the older ones. What's the longest I can wait before returning an unopened ps3? I'm not sure if some stores have longer periods so I figured I'd ask.

Also, I'm sure they'll announce something at GDC if they don't before the event. I believe that's around mid to late February? I would probably still have time to return the 80 gb if they announce the new model has the BC.

I was wondering if anyone has used a mouse with the ps2 and if they'd be able toanswer for me the following:

1) Is there a mouse that is compatible with both ps2 and ps1 games?

2) If I use a mouse adapter compatible with the ps2, will it only work for the ps2 games? (I have come across one adapter that has a playstation controller port, but I'm not sure if the game will recognize it.)

I'm basically trying to decide between a mouse or an adapter that can be used with the ps2 but works for ps1 games. I am not paying the ridiculous $40.00 for the sony mouse, so I was hoping an either an adapter or another mouse would work. I was looking at an adapter but I'm not sure if the game would recognize my pc mouse through the adapter. Here is one that I came across: http://www.amazon.com/Ps2-Keyboard-Mouse-Adapter-Game/dp/B000HIELHS/ref=pd_rhf_p_2

If anyone could let me know if something like this would work I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I am not sure which one I want to pick up and I'm a little worried that revenge may be too easy because of the traffic checking. The thing that interests me about revenge is the chaos during the races. From what I've read it seems like the game is more designed for taking other cars out. I don't need a near impossible racer, I just don't want a cake walk. Is revenge too easy? Which one do you prefer?
