Paul asks…
How can I transfer my purchased movies on my PS3?
I want to transfer the movies (and games) that I’ve bought on the PlayStation Store from my old, now malfunctioning PS3 to my new super slim PS3. I have tried Data Transfer, and it didn’t work, so please don’t tell me to do that. I have looked on the PlayStation Store at the movies that I’ve bought, and it only gives me the option to rent or buy them again. They are not on my download list.
What I want is a way to move the files of my downloaded games and movies to another PlayStation and still be able to watch them. If I copy them using a USB key, deactivate my account on the FIRST PS3, then activate my account on the NEW PS3, will that work? Any help would be wonderful. Thanks.
Nagesh answers:
You can simply log into your psn account and download your games again , just deactivate the old ps3
log into your account on the old ps3 or the online website and click on account management , system activation , deactivate
as long as you are signed into the same account the games are in your downloads list , movies are not because you are only able to download movies one time , you can backup the movie to a flash drive and if you delete from the same ps3 can copy that backup back to the ps3 but you can not use that movie on another console .
For the movies , if you bought then on ps3 you can’t copy to another ps3 or download twice , they’re lost . You will need to buy the movie again unless you send that broken ps3 to sony for repairs and ask them to activation for videos to a new ps3 ( no guarantee they will because they put in the purchase agreement you get one copy on one ps3 only )
if you have video from a pc just copy them again using a flash drive and if you don;t have a backup copy already their also lost
Helen asks…
What do I need to know before buying a flat-screen TV?
Never bought a flat-screen TV before. Below are my must haves.
Please advise what I need to know and what I need to avoid when choosing.
I’ll probably shop first at Walmart and price is a definite consideration.
– 50+” screen with hi def
– Need a tuner–do most flat-screens come with them these days?
– Compatible with non-high def cable plan which uses a cable box
– Need access to interness/Youtube etc
– Would like a Tivo-like recorder/DVR but without a monthly subscription cost
– Need to be able to play old VHS home movies, and high def bluerays
– Decent stereo sound
Thx.
“Internet” not “interness”
I also have wifi for my computer and nexus tablet and would like o connect them wirelessly to the TV
and I have mediacom as cable provider–not very technically advanced-not wifi oriented
Nagesh answers:
Okay well you should first pick out what brand that puts out flat screens you want. Apple is great if you are up with technology & own an apple product (I.e iPhone, iPod, iPad etc)
LG is also a good name. They have tons of flat screens to choose from. Just go to your local target, Walmart, best buy or a store similar to the ones I mentioned.
Many if the newer flat screens provide a USB slot at the right or left side of the tv. I like those because you can connect your laptop or other device to your tv. Example: if you are watching a video on YouTube and would like to watch it on the tv, you can connect the USB and drag the laptop window onto the tv.
Comcast allows you to record up to 4 shows at once. Directv also let’s ou record but I think it might be only up to 2 shows… Unless you get the upgrade.
If you have a Wii connected to your tv, you can download Internet and go online from there. But most of the carriers for tv (Comcast, directv etc) let you do that in certain packages.
Keep in mind for the best and affordable deals, you may need to sign up to a contract with a company. It’s just like phone providers; to get the best plan, you would sign up to a 2yr contract.
Good luck! Flat screens are really awesome.
P.S you can get 50+” Tvs when you buy a whole new room from rooms2go and other room stores:)

Laura asks…
Getting my computer repaired, do repair workers look at stuff?
My wireless signal thing is fucked up, so im getting it fixed, I have a 3 year warranty at Futureshop… Do they look at private stuff like pictures and documents, history and stuff?
Also are downloading movies from Kickasstorrents legal, if it’s illegal do they do something?
Nagesh answers:
I doubt that they would be bothered unless it’s seriously dodgy stuff. However I would worry about personal info, passwords, online banking etc. I wouldn’t trust people with access to confidential info.
You could spend a lot of time and effort cleaning up but unless you really know what to do – you will be wasting your time.
Briefly though:
Use something like Secret Disk or My Lockbox for your personal files. Or create an encrypted folder or partition for them. Then ensure that any deleted files have been shredded. Then create a new system restore point or shadow volume copy, delete the old ones and overwrite them multiple times.
Use privacy scanning software to remove any other traces and again overwrite any deleted files.
