Ok, so I figured out how to put files onto a thumb drive for a PS3. You first
have to have the correct folders on the thumb drive and the easiest way is to copy something off the ps3 onto the thumb drive. You will end up with these directories:

MUSIC
PICTURE
VIDEO

If you copy your save games to a thumb drive they end up in the directory:

PS3\SAVEDATA

If you browse into that directory with an image viewer you can see that
some games like Fallout 3 create an icon screenshot that is a .png file.

Here are some pictures from my recent Fallout 3 saves.

Grief Reporting "Server Error" update - TedTheDog
We believe we've tracked down the source of the problem that causes many of you
to encounter this annoying error. The team are working on a fix to the issue and
we hope to bring you news on this next week.

We quite agree, Home needs more content and theres a lot coming but we're trying
to avoid yanking your chains and exciting you over stuff that we cant commit to
dates on yet. And obviously some things are secret by choice due to commercial
reasons or simply to improve the impact when they arrive.

However, please understand we know you want more to do and more is coming.
The recent insights into the remarkable EA Sports complex should show you
that things are moving along behind the scenes but I appreciate you'd like
some specific commitments but I cant give those you yet.

Re: Why isn't game launching priority number 1? PlayStation.com Forums
Locust_Star Home Manager

Game launching is what Home is all about, and thus is an enormous priority (I would say it IS #1, but I am just one voice and I suppose somebody else could disagree with me - I find it highly unlikely though). It will take some time to fully integrate with all the titles the community plays - such is a huge undertaking, you must understand - but I think it is clear that this has been the direction all along. You'll see game launching capabilities increase and game spaces appear with great frequency in the very near future. May not do you a whole lot of good right this very second, but rest assured that it is coming, and coming very soon.


Re: Concerning moderation in Home - PlayStation.com Forums
Locust_Star Home Manager

Moderation does occur in private spaces. Granted, the priority is not in keeping two grown adults from, as Basil says, chatting as they would IRL in their own space (pretty sure we all know what that entails, hahaha - its probably not how you would speak if your grandma was over for dinner), but there are other behaviors that potentially could occur in private spaces that make moderation a necessity in said spaces.

Re: Concerning moderation in Home - PLAYSTATION®3 Home - PlayStation.com Forums
Do you have any comments or updates with respect to the reporting function not working???

Locust_Star Home Manager
Yes. Here's the deal: While you may get an error message, it appears that the reports are coming through to our mods just fine. We're working on identifying why these error messages are occuring, but in the meantime we encourage everyone to disregard the fact that they are popping up and stay confident that the mods are still being notified.

Swedish site removes Killzone 2 review

First online review of Killzone 2 awards game 4 out of 5
[Translated from Swedish] The controls are good and the environments feel natural,
raw and uncouth and that’s where Killzone 2 succeeds compared to many other shooters;
it feels more personal, it’s easier to identify with your character and to feel
connected with your teammates. Co-op is noticeably missing, which is odd,
and Killzone 2 isn’t doing much new with the genre but it is great enough
to succeed without launching for the Christmas Sales Period.
