Just swapped my 40 GB HDD to 250 GB


Recommended Posts

The 360 uses exactly the same hard drive technology as the PS3 (2.5" SATA).. I just dont understand why it's so easy on the PS3. ;p

Good for us. But I think Sony missed out there. They could ship the PS3 with 160GB for like ?20 more.

ok just realized one thing

I had NO idea that when the PS3 is in standby mode (only the red light on), you can turn it on by clicking the PS button on the sixaxis controller. Like a remote.

Lol.. i honestly in my 4 month old PS3 experience, did not know that until i accidentaly pushed the button...

Silly me :)

if you didnt know that, you probably also dont know that the you can rotate the playstation logo next to the drive, depending on whether you have it stood horizontal or vertical...

literally i had no idea as of this as well :)

i use my PS3 horizontally so i never realized such a thing because the logo is in the right direction when the console is horizontal..

any other tricks that this machine has?

i am sure playstation 4 will fly when it comes out :)

I stumbled upon the rotating playstation button when I was getting the dust off my PS3. No matter how much I use the PS3, the dust just keeps on coming.

Do you have a PSP? Whole other world of things it can do when you've got a PSP.

nope nooo PSP....

the LCD on it is too small for me thats why i never bought itttt...

butyeah i heard that there are lots of features that combine PSP and PS3... I will bring a friend of mine who has psp and see what happens.. :)

yes the dust and fingerprints are a problem... I really wished i had the ceramic white for that matter. Thanx god my PS3 is not scratched YET... it would look terrible on that black shiny cover.

I upgraded my PS3's 60GB hard drive with a Samsung (Spinpoint HM250JI) 250GB. I can notice a little bit of speed bump as the samsung has more cache and large platters.

Hard Drive upgrade definitely recommended.

Alfista the Eyecreate is available in Europe Store. You have go find PLAYSTATION EYE category first. It will be listed as a part of it.

this one feature is the main reason I am going to end up buying a PS3... I am really into the home media center thing and being able to swap out the HDD so easily is just perfect... I really believe the 360 dropped the ball on this one... whats the largest hdd currently on the market for 2.5?.. 500?

For 2.5", 320GB I believe.

yes as far as i know 320 is the biggest one. I could not find it here in Turkey so had to go with the 250 gb option.

And about MGS4... I am waiting for GTA4 much more eagerly than MGS4.
