| 663157 | 2008-04-28 02:50:00 | You can also upgrade the HDDs without much problem. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 663158 | 2008-04-28 02:55:00 | Only problem with that is that it voids the warranty. Just use a USB one and you'll be set. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 663159 | 2008-04-28 02:57:00 | There is that. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 663160 | 2008-04-28 03:04:00 | Oh, and you can install Linux on a PS3 (easily too). [/rant] Why would I want to do that? I messed about with several distributions of Linux about 7-8 years ago and it was a pain in the ass. I did get as far as running eggdrop bots and mysql & php. A lot more hassle than it is worth and definitely not user friendly. |

I rang Sony and they said it didn't void the warranty and was a user upgradeable feature. They quoted me page 14 - 16 of the PS3 "Safety and Support" manual where it gives a step by step tutorial on doing just that. I whacked in a 120GB HDD in around 3-4 minutes. easy peasey!!

| 663162 | 2008-04-28 03:13:00 | The hard drives are upgradeable without voiding the warranty. It does not get past the fact that the 40Gb models currently available are not as compatible as the earlier models. Maybe with future firmware updates they might be. Maybe it is Sony's way of keeping the PS3 game writers in a job. |

| 663164 | 2008-04-28 03:42:00 | im seriously trying to stave off buying a PS3 or even a 360 - but the more i think about it the more i want one :lol: as it is i only have a PS2 for 2 games: Gran Turismo 4 and Canis Canem Edit (Bully) these 2 games are not available for PC - if they were i would not have a need for a Console at the moment we have GT5 Prologue and eventually GT5 Full out on the PS3 - now i love the Gran Turismo Series and waste a lot of time in them :p - seeing as sony wont release such a game on the PC if i want to play it i will have to get a PS3 - then again if i get a PS3 that can play PS2 games i can play GT5, Bully and GT4 :D will have to wait a long time till prices really start dropping though :horrified |

| 663165 | 2008-04-28 04:53:00 | I heard that they are producing 60gb and 80gb soon this year | Ninjabear (2948) | ||
| 663166 | 2008-04-28 07:51:00 | I heard that they are producing 60gb and 80gb soon this year hopefully there will be more change than that. we all know you can replace the current one with your own 2.5" sata hdd and it will install what is needed by itself. |
