was thinking about that.
just wondering if it would help saving files faster as all EA games love to save often and is SLOW

Ouch! I was about to buy an Intel 300GB SSD and slap it on my PS3.
Glad I googled first.

Use it for video editing or photo editing or speed up your OS, no point putting into PS3

@shawty

I think that article is a bit old, no ?
You can search digital foundry for the latest ssd related test for consoles.

Am already using 2 units of Intel 160GB SSD on RAID 0 on my workstation.
So I thought SSD could help in PS3. GT5 is uber slow in PS3.
Meh, old or not, the result is still the same as the Intel 300GB SSD write and read speed on PC is more or less the same speed as the Samsung 256GB SSD used in the article, so I don't think new article would prove otherwise even with PS3 Firmware 4.0

Unless you found an article that prove otherwise, maybe I could re-think of getting SSD for my PS3.
By otherwise I mean the install, loading time is cut off by at least 50% ~ 75%. Otherwise, SSD is not worth it for PS3.

You do know that an OEM Intel 300GB SSD is worth RM800 ~ RM900 right? So If I were to spend that much money to upgrade my PS3 harddisk, I expect huge improvement.

Hey guys, I need some opinion.
It's hard for me to control some games for example L.A. Noir, Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition, Bulletstorm and some other games that requires shooting.

I already bought PS Move, PS Navigation, PS Eye Camera & Gummac Gun Shooter, but I later found out that even after using those stuff it's still hard to control those games.
Wasted RM459 for those rubbish. Sorry but that is are my truthful opinion.

And thus, I'm thinking of buying either the Hori TAC 3 PS3 Keyboard & Mouse Combo or the AIMON PS Wireless Mouse & Grip.
However, I'm still not sure if buying either 1 of those will help in playing those games easier.

Opinions please.

i suspect you play ps3 in your room? either your tv is small? or you're shaking? use back controller. better.

I think you need this type of controller.but let me share with you this.any new type of control require a learning curve.it is never automatic.

No, I'm playing it in the living room.
And my TV is a 40" LCD TV.

hello sifu!
have questions:

1) when backup my ps3 into another harddisk, will it deleted the other files which already in the harddisk? or as long as it is fat32 hddisk with enough space, it will backup my ps3 without touching existing files in it?

2) i have two account in my ps3. if u do backup, it will backup both account?

3) will backup my psn account too? do i need to key in my psn password? cos i kindda forgot my psn password. it remember my password.

TQ!

wtf with all the off topic discussions

lol one more not enough nasi

dont know if the question been asking or not..but when backing data..will it copy the psn game that being install in my ps3 as well?later when upgrading hdd will the psn game just copy from the external drive without need to redownload again?even have many account?

been google for an hours can't really find new infos i need... i plan to upgrade my hardisk, is there any tools i can clone my ps3 hardisk sector by sector?

i brought a few psn games from Terion, if use sony's data back up i scare games i brought cant be reactivated since i dont have access to that specific psn acc anymore...

care to shed some lights on this guys? thanks

sony's backup utility is your only option.

Just imagine, last time i had a 500gb drive, then I upgraded to 1tb, woudlnt it be a nightmare to backup it secor by sector?

but ill lose some of my copy protected save game and the psn purchase game from terion?

My ps3 phat shut down by itself few times yesterday.

Scared got prob so upgraded the hdd today.

From 80gb to 500gb wd blue caviar 5400rpm.

Backup 37gb of data was a pain. Took an hour plus to backup and another hour plus to restore.

Glad I made the upgrade. Finally can put ps plus subscription to good use.

Download all the free games now. Hehe.

My wife accidentally throw my PS3 slim hard disk tray@caddy yesterday.Try install it but cannot attach.Anyone can sell it or any other place@user recommend to me? Possible to install without the tray?

Quick question,what if I have many share account for the ps3 game? If I change hard drive,do I need to create new account and put the email of the account? I share game with my friend

question noob here..how to make HD in FAT32 format?
