Imagine my surprise to see that I do not have enough space on my HDD!  WTF is up with that?  It is not like I have purchased that many games, movies, and to the best of my knowledge, there is no downloaded porn (not that I would look), so how the heck was my HDD already full?<\/p>\n<p>This is sad, but I was not even sure what size HDD was in my PS3 \u2013 40GB or 60GB?  I purchased my PS3 June 1, 2007, and while I remembered that I did not have the 20GB HDD model, I could not remember what else was being produced at the time.  At any rate, I remembered that it was the 60GB version.<\/p>\n<p>I am still not sure why all my storage space is completely full, but I figure it must have something to do with having 10-12 Qore episodes, a few miscellaneous gaming footage videos.  I deleted some 2008 E3 videos to recover a little space, but I am not sure that is going to help.<\/p>\n<p>Demos?  This is probably not a complete list, but I think Heavenly Sword (because every boy enjoys a little T&A), Conan (more T&A), Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, DiRT, Sega Rally, maybe a couple of others.  Good grief!  Do the demos really take up that much space?  It is not like I am going to get rid of my paid for downloaded games, so I think my only immediate option is to back up some of the Qore downloads and remove them from my PS3.<\/p>\n<p>The only problem I have is that the memory cards for the various digital cameras in the house are only 2GB, which is hardly enough to backup much of anything.  I thought about picking up a new PSP memory stick pro duo, but the prices suck.  4GB will set me back $34.99, and 8GB versions are twice as much.  I do not think a new memory stick is worth the price of 1-2 PSP games.  Sony and their damn priority formats.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that means I will have to get a portable USB HDD; I probably need one anyway for media backup.  Or maybe a regular larger 8GB memory card, which I can actually use for my wife\u2019s digital camera.  The memory card would be a slower, but cheaper and useful backup option.<\/p>\n<p>Of course it all begs the question on why would I even want to keep older Qore episodes?  Damned if I know, but I guess since I paid for them, I want to keep them.  If I can get them to my computer, I can at least burn them to DVD for future reference.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So as I slowly creep back into a semi disordered gaming jones, I started downloading some E3 content from the PS3 store plus some back issues of Qore that I have not bothered to grab.
