There is no Malaysian PS3 with 160GB. Either the shop is lying or they replaced the stock hdd with a new hdd.Or its a PS3 from a different warranty.

The only 160GB SKU available now is in the US, and thats the Uncharted Bundle.

Malaysia only has 80GB.

I'm assuming they have ugpraded the HDD to 160GB beforehand though. There are a few shops in Sunway doing that as well. Either way it isn't such a good deal. You can get an 80GB now for RM1550, a 320GB HDD costs only another RM210. You do the math....

hey.. to upgrade the hdd.. all i need to do is this rite ?

1. backup by running backup function to somewhere else
2. shut down ps3, unplug cable, take screw driver and unscrew it*
3. follow the instructions on the web..
4. restart the machine and the machine will auto format the new hdd no matter what is the size.
5. restore data back to PS3 and everything shud run fine ?

any risks involved ?

bro's how did you guys back up your ps3 hdd before replacing the new one?

you use a 3rd hdd is it? one which is formatted using fat32? is it possible for me to use a hdd that is already formatted using ntsf and partition it to say 20gb of fat32 and plug that in into the ps3?

otherwise must buy 2 external hdd... pokai like that.
