(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Is it possible to copy entire games directly to PS3's HDD? If i bought a sata cable (3.0), and connected the HDD to my laptop, would it allow me to copy games directly?

Yup, using multiman or iris manager. Yeah, you can transfer games from your PS3 HDD to the PC by either FTP or using mutliman/iris to copy the game onto an external harddrive.

FTP is not something i'm keen to use. I just want to hook that HDD to my laptop, and put my damn gaes onto it >.<

Yeah, I do that as well. But, sometimes files are bigger than 4gigs and transferring those large file onto the external, through the PC, wont let you =P since the console only reads FAT32.
So, other methods like either use splitting tools, PFS option in Multiman(the use NTFS) and FTP are ways around it.

Learn how to use and utilize them is my advise to you >_>;

Jheeze... Is there a way to get better transfer speeds? Can i hook up my laptop to my ps3 using a gigabit ethernet cable?

Yup, use FTP =P
