Anyone have experience upgrading the HDD in their PS3?

I'm going to be buying a bigger hard drive and was hoping to find some affordable options.

I did and it was surprisingly easy. I pulled up a tutorial video on YouTube and followed it step by step. The worst part was removing the old HDD from it's tray. They aren't kidding when they say that the screws holding it in are unbelievably easy to strip. It;s like they are made from platinum.

I honestly wish Sony would release a 500GB PS3. Like a dummy when I upgraded my HDD I went with a 320GB. The only way I'm upgrading at this point is to get a new slim console but it;s pointless when they all come with the same HDD size I already have. I've also heard that the transfer process now between consoles it;s a fucking breeze on PS3. All you apparently have to do is connect the consoles via an ethernet cable and use the data transfer utility. No stupid fucking transfer proprietary transfer cable like i=on 360.

I guess this isn't very surprising after the recent Sears/Kmart store closing announcement, but it looks like the Kmart Gamer program is on hold indefinitely.

Hey all, as you can probably tell, KmartGamer is a bit on pause right now while we figure some stuff up. I will potentially no longer be managing this account. I hope this is more of a see you later than goodbye. Thank you all for the support, it has meant the world to me.

So Saints Row is officially the most suprising game of 2011/2012, did not expect it to be as much fan as it's been[did not play the 1st 2]

also most dissapointing? Enslaved; I heard rave reviews and had it recommended by more than a few ppl, and it's been a struggle to get through it, not bc its hard...but bc its not that enjoyable an experience.

I said that when the game came out. You should get the saints row double pack like brnt did. The first two are damn good games and the voice acting in the first two is better for the most part except for Hulk Hogan playing Angel.

I did not even check out that thread until I got the game. I had no interest in the SR series at all until I saw Jaydizzle posting about it in the Chatbox. I rented it and now im hooked.

Talk to brnt. He got the double pack and loves it. It's only 20 bucks and well worth it.

SR1 is a lot of fun. Not sure how it would be if I played them in reverse, though.

The graphics are hilariously asstastic.

Played the Drkness 2 demo..

fun game, control scheme took a lil getting used to but once you get it; the game is a lot of fun. not a day 1 purchase but It looks like a solid rental.

IDK Man, the characters are way too god for it to be bad.

This is at least the second time I've seen you say that something about the game is horrible. First it was the controls and now the graphics. I haven't played it in quite a while but I can't imagine they are that bad. I might have to pop it back in to see how wrong you are.

 

[Leftwich]

I want that.

 

[Twigg4075]

I think I saw that in a game mag a while back. It was custom made IIRC. I think a mom and sister made it for their son/brother for his birthday.

I don't think I ever said the controls were bad. The default ones are weird, but they're fine now that I've changed them.

The graphics are :turrible: compared to games now. Hell, even SR3 looks amazing compared to this. It's funny how little we forget things looked like at launch. It's like going from Madden 12 to 06, stylistically.

The game is really fun, though, and that's all that matters.

I like Dead Space 2 and its DLC so much I actually just bought Dead Space: Ignition, just for the extra shit. :smh:

Wow is it terrible. Yet here I am, playing through it.

(Also, I bought the novel, which is surprisingly pretty good).

Played some more SR1 last night. Shit is super goofy-looking and the shooting is hilariously :turrible:.

.

Actually you said the shooting is bad.
