Downloading save game files from Gamefaqs

[Bathead]

Any help on downloading and using zipped save game files form the Gamefaqs website? All I get when I try to do it on my PS3 is the message
"Insert storage media at the save destination",
and I can't find any instructions at SCEA's PS3 website.

Do you have a flash drive? If you do, just download it onto a computer, unzip the file, and use the flash drive to transfer it from the PC to PS3.

No, unfortunately, no flash drive. Any specific kind I need?
I kinda thought that might be how you do it. Exactly were do you plug the FD into on the PS3?

Well, get a one that you can plug into your PS3's USB drives. And if you're gonna be downloading save files, it's probably best to get a one with a lot of storage space on it. Ideally a few GB's.

Do you have a digital camera with a SD card? It can double as a storage device if you do not have a flash drive. Here's how you set up the folders:

1. Create a folder called "PS3"

2. In the "PS3" folder create another folder called "SAVEDATA"

3. Then you put the game save in it

The USB ports on the front where you plug in the controller?

Yep.

if you've got an mp3 player you could probably use that.

I'll have to go with the flash drive. Seems the easiest and cheapest way as I have neither a camera or MP3 player as suggested. Thanks for the help y'all!
