if i want to switch hdd i see that the metal part that holds the hdd on the slim is bigger soo would i have to buy the slim with the same amount of gb's as my phat please help
I had to buy a PS3 Slim because my 60G PS3 is dying slowly after all these years. More and more games are becoming unplayable, It overheats and it shut it self down. It did with Killzone 3, Uncharted 2 and MW2 (a game I could play with no problems before), sadly there's no fixing this. So instead of waiting for the PS3 to die, today I bought a PS3 Slim, which i'll use for all the PS3 games and when its time to play some PS2 and PS1 i'll refer to the 60G. Im happy I got a slim but sad about my $.
iv been an xbox fathful since xbox release and now im thinking about getting a ps3 but the problem is i dont wanna buy it and in 3 mouths to a year the ps4 come out any advice
@AwwC00L New consoles (both xbox 360 and ps3) wont have a refresh until approx 2015 so dont worry about not getting the most out of it, plus with the ps2 up until probably a year ago you had games still being released on it.
i have a question ok here it goes if you swap a ps3 first gen hdd into a slim could you then play ps2 games cause i kept my hardrive cause my other ps3 ylod on me so i bought a slim not knowing it doesnt play ps2 games cause the kh series is one of my fav series on ps2.
I have a damaged fat ps3 with its original 180 GB hdd and I just got a slim ps3, can I swap these 2 hdds without losing any info i had in the fat ps3?
@LJMJDWSCpitt PS3, both fat and slim work with notebook hdds, so yeah, you can take off the one from the old and slap onto the new one without worries
@LJMJDWSCpitt You can't access the data on a different ps3, you need to back it up in "sytem settings" and then go to "backup utility" and then restore it on your new ps3 slim. Or you can copy individual save data. Btw, you can redownload anything you've bought, like games and downloadable content. so don't worry about that.
@foxyjimbtinternet well I was told that it will format if I restore my hhd from the old ps3 onto the ps3 slim. Are you sure that it will not happen if I do that?
yes shotu92 it will work but dont worry bout getting a real expensive External drive as long as it has enough room and works for PS3 buy as cheap as u can
Please reply: Ok so my PS3 broke and getting my ps3 slim soon. can i put my 60gb hardrive in the slim and get my stuff back? oh and if i have to reformatt it does it automatically deactivate my friends psn account? because i just want to download his games?? and dont want to waste money
i dont get all this slim ps3 tbh... am not gonna take it to work every day and am not carrying it around when i go for a jog so... the slim thing will be a 5 minute novelty till u'v placed it where u want and forgot how much it weighs because u never pick it up... my 60GB original is the one for me! agen great vids dude nice one *thumbs up*
i have got one actually, i had to swap it for my old one cus the laser reader went bust but i still stick with my original comment and plan to get another 60GB so... yer
I need help deciding if I should buy the ps3 slim or the fat...i know that the slim runs on a 3.0 firmware so it is a little better for playing, but i just like the way the fat looks and the touch buttons and such...I need help
What i reccomend getting is the ps3 slim. At first the slim does look ugly but evenrually it actually look better. The reson why I reccomend the slim is because it doesn't heat up it will let the system last much longer. It is all up to you but I rather get what is up to date so I'm getting the slim
well if you like the fat better then get the fat one, because i have my fat one and all you have to do is get an update and the fat one runs 3.00 firmware too. so it all just depends what you want. just remember, the fat ones are running out fast!
one last question wen to i change the hdd after i turn the ps3 slim on and play a little with the 120 hdd then turn of the ps3 slim and change it or just right opening the box of the ps3 slim change the hdd
hey please ans this question for me im getting the ps3 slim cause i sold my 40gb but i have a 500gb sata hard drive that i used to u use in my old ps3 can it work for my slim i aint worried about the user name and all that i just want the hard drive to work
Most, yes. Aside from a few locked saves. Otherwise most of it was there (with the exception of re-downloading the games). This is due to it being a new console. When I restored the same data on the fat PS3's new 120gb HDD (to retrieve some data that can only be played there, including PS2 saves, etc.) everything was there, including games and every file that was there before.
nice feature. i will be buying this now that ive seen it in action. i still like my 60gig. maybe the slim will go in my room and my fatty will go in the living room.
@faithless8888 I just ordered that, does it work smoothly? And did you put it in the slim or fat?
