Excuse my noobness, any 2.5" sata hdd will do for the PS3, or is there a current size limit ? Thinking of upgrading the puny 40GB in my unit. Advisable for self installation ? Or should i just bring it to GH ? I'll retain my saves, DLC and etc by using the backup feature beforehand correct ?

Tq tq tq.

2.5" sata hdd has 2 diff thickness, 9.x milimeter ones and 12.x mm.. PS3 HDD cradle can support 9.x mm drives only.. As for capacity, sky is the limit I think. I saw somewhere on the tubes where ppl connected 1TB 3.5" drives using long sata cable and PS3 is still able to recognise & utilise the large drive.

Yes any size of 2.5" laptop sata hdd will do. Self installation is recommended and VERY EASY if you hv the right size of Philip screw driver.
And, yes, u must have an extra external HDD for backup/restore purposes.

What's the right size btw? I'm thinking of upgrading the drive soon.

95% of 2.5" sata hdd in the market have 9.x mm thickness [citation needed]

judging by the amount games i will have in future and Zero demos i download, 40 GB is still good for me.

if i change, i want 2 have the 7200RPM drives.

320 GB is massive.. maybe for those who likes to store their demos, avi movies on their PS3.

160 is just nice for me

huhuhu..best betul dapat main gear perang 2 nie...kuang kuang kuang....sengkuang...

Is it ok if i directly copy saves games to USB drive instead of using backup feature? Then use USB drive to restore/install the new HDD.

I've just registered for a Malaysia PSN ID. Sad to say, currently there's no Malaysia flag shown in the game My GT5P has my PSN ID name but flag column is blank

i usually keep the demos. and its eating up allot of space!!!

same here man..

want to delete so wasteful wei...take days to get those demos,and just delete like that..

Don't take that long gua?? I downloaded Eternal Sonata demo (623MB) and it only takes about 2hours on screamyx 1MB line.

it used to take hours for me(512 line)
tonight start,tomorrow morning can play.

but starting last month,i think..it takes me 5 days to download 1GB.

so you can imagine la

it's times like these i thank god i bought a PS3 and not a 360.

i cant imagine leaving the 360 on for a week,and play games as well and still not see it RROD on me
