Since Firmware 2.00, the PlayStation 3 has allowed you to group content on your PS3 into Folders. You can group Photos, Music, Videos and even Games into Folders. Games can be arranged into custom folders too, e.g. “Demos”, “PSOne Classics” etc.
To group content, press 
to see the grouping options. Optionally, press 
and the PS3 will cycle through the different grouping options.
For games, press and go down to [Information]. On this screen, you can edit the “Album” name to whatever you want. This can be a handy way to group different game genres (e.g. action, RPG etc), formats (minis, PSOne, PSN) or whatever else you fancy.
The US PlayStation Store has been updated with new video content, just in time for the weekend. Five new HD movies are available purchase as well as lots of new TV episodes and SD movies (details below). As for last week’s top 10 downloaded movies, Bride Wars came first place followed by Yes Man in second and The Wrestler in third place.
The first PlayStation Store update for May is live! Two new playable demos are available from both the US and European Stores and there is also a huge range of new game add-on content. Qore Episode 12 is now available to purchase from the US Store. New add-on content includes LittleBigPlanet Norse Mythology Pack, Wheelman expansion packs, new Guitar Hero and Rock Band tracks and Trivial Pursuit expansion pack. See the complete list of new content for both stores below.
Every Thursday, Sony released new content to the PlayStation store. The playable demos, full games and add-on content requires you to download and then install before you can play them. The worst part of this process is the actual downloading and installing of the content – but did you know that you can auto-install the content so you don’t waste time installing it yourself?
