Upgrading HDD??

buy a over priced 2.5 internal hard drive...also know as laptop hard drives. also it might be wise to look for a faster one 7200rpm

otherwise buy an external hard drive that can be much much cheaper, but you will only be able to store certain things on it. you can NOT store game saves or games on it...among other things. Corperate america at work.

How dose someone go about upgrading there 40gb PS3 with a larger HDD?buster__sword

Go here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136197

That's a SATA 3.0 Gb/s 2.5'' HDD for the PS3 that's only $109.99, it also includes free three day shipping. That will be the model that I pick up in a few days. I really can't wait to start buying some movies in HD on the PlayStation Store.

And here's a video on how to go about the replacement of your old Hard Disk Drive with a new one.

No, its idiot proof. Instructions to do it are even in the manuel I think. It doesnt void your warranty..Sony is totally fine with you swapping the drive.
