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

Use it for video editing or photo editing or speed up your OS, no point putting into PS3
Am already using 2 units of Intel 160GB SSD on RAID 0 on my workstation. biggrin.gif
So I thought SSD could help in PS3. GT5 is uber slow in PS3.

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

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. icon_question.gif

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