I got many user with downloaded game in my ps3 from terion.Now I want to change HDD of my ps3.Do I need to deactivate my ps3? Because some people say I need to deactivate it because if not I cant play the game again after I redownload it but some say only just redownload the game.Who can tell me which one is correct? One more,What is the size of ps3 HDD that can fit? I know its 2.5" but what is the exactly size?

Usually you don't have to, I didn't with any of my share accounts.
Accounts are tied to the system, not the HDD.

But just de-activate and re-activate just in case.

Glad your problem solved bro...

anything different in ps 3 super slim & ps3 slim? which one better?

Yeah, got the stuff. Thanks for the great help.

Any idea what's the largest hdd supported by ps3 slim?

guys, how to check my account belong to which region? please help..

One easy way is check money currency in PSN store, example RM is Malaysia account (R3); USD is US account (R1) and so on.

Another way is check country registered in account.

thanks. i want to buy tekken tag 2 online pass but i can't use my credit card to purchase it. got error. i used amex and visa card by the way also cannot.

I have a 1TB personally and I think it is the limit the PS3 will be able to handle, for now. Theoretically, the PS3 can handle 4TB HDDs as that is the limit for FAT32, but we don't have 4TB HDDs in 2.5" form so that point is moot.
Sony of course never made any official claims that 1TB is the limit. They've kept "increasing" that limit through firmwares in the past silently.

I remember that was a time back in 2007 when the PS3 first launched and some people did try to jam a 320GB HDD into it and the PS3 didn't really work with the HDD.


What is your bank account?

I would like to find out, is it possible to make transfer data from old HDD to new HHD without deactivate and active? Coz i basically lost all the username and pw for each individual account

Yes and no.
There are quite a few games actually do require you to re-activate them again even though they are on the same system.

Most games do not need to be re-activated. Something Sony doesn't want to make clear.

thanks for the clarification

Guys need big help im not sure what the problem

So i have a unifi,ps3 and a laptop
First i online using ps3 no dc from my side
But if open laptop i will dc. Maybe bcause of torrent although i didnt download anything but not sure seeding or stuff ok fair enough
Then i standby my laptop and open ps3 and it still dc..whats the problem??

My method was to off and on the unifi but sometimes it doesnt work..so what should i do actually?
I nver dc from my phone.. it only happen on ps3..

your PS3 is wired or wireless?

Wireless
Laptop phone all wireless

wonder is there any significant different in term of game loading between hdd with 5400rpm and 7200rpm...
currently my ps3 is using a wd blue 320gb hdd which is 5400rpm and i do have a wd black 7200rpm 500gb hdd laying around... is it worth to put this wd black into ps3??

i dont think it has a significant effect. maybe cut a few seconds off of loading time. the extra heat generated off the drive might not be worth it though.

stick to 5400rpm , better bro

i see.. then i better stick to my old 5400rpm 320gb... thanks for advise...

Is your PS3 quite far from the router?
Your router is D-Link DIR615?

Try wired connection for your PS3. I think this may solve your problem.
