Try putting the sd card in a card reader via the usb port of the ps3.
that kinda defeats the whole purpose though, doesn't it?
I'm pretty sure that will work, but the intent is to be able to plug the BB straight into the USB port for the PS3 (since it already has the cords attached for recharging the controllers).
Having to remove the SD card takes away any "cool factor".
I'm at home now, so I'll give the "start the PS3 with the BB attached first" method a shot. Will post back results.
Well, I tried connecting the BB to the PS3 prior to powering up the PS3 and it did not make any difference. The PS3 only recognizes the onboard memory area of the BB, and not the media card.
So what is the benefit to plugging your blackberry into a PS3???
I have a home theater setup with the PS3 attached as my Blu-Ray player (and well, for the PS3 games as well). It's the only way I can play "electronic" media files (MP3's, MPG's, AVI's, etc.) without burning something to a CD or DVD beforehand.
Yes, I can put these files on a flash USB drive, but I don't always have that handy - especially when I'm showing off the HT setup.
What would be the repercussions of renaming my \BlackBerry\ folder to \PS3\ on my media card?
I would guess that your BB would automatically create the Blackberry folder along with all the subfolders when the media card is inserted into your BB for the first time.
The bb uses the structure it creates however on newer os versions it may read files out of other folders..
On older os versions for example if you wanted to use a mp3 as a ringtone it had to be in the ringtone folder this is no longer a issue on the storm and may not be on the Bold.. or other updates os versions not sure
so structure may be effected and may not be effected you can try it to find out
Yeah I summarized everything in this thread. It's all good now. Only a minor hassle to move media files from their "default" location to the PS3-readable location.
