How to Install Comgenie's File Manager

PlayStation 3 games cost around $60 plus tax as of publication, so building your collection is not inexpensive. If a game gets scratched, it may no longer work, forcing you to buy a new copy. Comgenie's Awesome Filemanager allows you to back up your games to the PlayStation 3's hard drive. This lets you play a digital copy of the game while keeping the physical copy safe. To install Comgenie's Awesome Filemanager, you need to jailbreak your PlayStation 3. Jailbreaking voids your warranty, but it is completely legal. It also lets you install custom firmware and homebrew applications.
