booboo Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well the title explains it all really... I want to download a certain demo (burnout) and I can't connect with the PS3, so therefore can't download the demo. Can I download it from my laptop and stick in onto a memory stick, and then run it on the PS3? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huleboeren Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Official PC access PS store: http://store.playstation.com/ But I think it only has PSP games/demos - not sure.. There are some workarounds where you make the real store think that your internetbrowser(like firefox) is a PS3 :p Cant remember where they are or if they work anymore - long time ago :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowRanger13 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Why can't you connect your PS3? If your using a network cable to connect your laptop you can just use that cable on PS3, most of the PS3 models have wireless and if your using wireless you can connect using that.

Noted you would need a Crossover ethernet cable and not a standard ethernet cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Erm, what happens is, I can move my laptop around and therefore get signal, whereas the PS3 is stagnant and I cannot move it to a access point. So surely there must be some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
