my 2cent is change ur HDD as fast as possible.later would be hassle if ur 80gb stock hdd full.

500G support or not??Now the price only around rm360. It use ide or sata hardisk ??

I used a 500gb sata 2.5" 5400rpm western digital and it works fine.

We can upgrade it without losing anything example like Psn game which we bought from PSN store... right??

it's tide to your PSN account i believe

newbie here.
what type/brand can you all suggest if i'm interested to upgrade my PS3.

is there any guide here that i can refer on how to upgrade the PS3 hdd?

will upgrade soon.. cuz 1gb is left..out of 37gb

Sry, bro.. i dun get what u mean??

i'm guessing actually, for online purchased contents, it has to belong to something and in this case i guess it'd be your PSN account.

now i'm a little confused.
can someone answer this?

if i've purchase a game via online store, will i be able to play it if i log into the same account on a different PS3?

or do the purchased games register to your PS3 and you can only play on that particular one PS3? (nakata101 i think the backup for upgrade stores and restores EVERYTHING from your original HDD to your new HDD)

yes, provided that you backed up to an external drive using the ps3 backup utility. the backed up data contains all music/video/installeddata/accounts/saves/dlcs and can only be restored on the same ps3.

OK... thx..got it.... how about 1terabyte hardisk?? Who are using it now ???

just upgrade mine to 320gig
damn last screw took 2 days

Hi all,

read a respond somewhere in this thread that PS3 can play MKV files. Is this true? PS3 site does not confirm this.

Can anyone confirm this?

PS3 can't play MKV files natively, but you can stream/transcode from your PC to your PS3 very easily using software. Most people talk about Tversity but that piece of sh*t was a nightmare to configure and was buggy as all hell. I've since started using PS3 Media Server (http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/). Literally install, and everything just about works. Unlike Tversity, this program didn't need any additional codecs to decode MKV files.

I believe there is still no 1TB hard disk for 2.5" SATA. Or there is?

just curios, newbie here.

how much space do we need in the external drive if decide to backup a 60gb hdd? do we need oso 60gb hdd space for backup or the backup will just take an image of the hdd n compress it.

The last I checked (before CNY) there isn't any. Bought WD Green 1TB for RM350

2.5"?

1tb 2.5" HDD for only RM350?....hell no..not yet lah

PureSilicon already debut their 1tb 2.5" HDD last month
