This is how you do it! Go up to 100GB, 120GB, 160GB, 200GB, 250GB, etc. I could go on all day.

  • Does it void the warranty

  • No, you're just upgrading your system but if you open it up, now that's a different story.

  • BJ713NewYork have u upgraded your hardrive if yes did it reboot normaly and not brake or anyting

  • It isn't me in that video. It's someone else. But yes it will reboot and won't break :D

  • Hey whats going on BJ713... I have a couple of questions t ask you if you don't mind answering them for me :) Can i upgrade My PS3 t any GB over 160 and if so what kind would you yourself think of getting ... Ive heard as long as the size is 2.5" and it's 5400RPM it wouldn't matter what GB you got.... But the video i saw before this one said if you go over 160GB it could damage your PS3 :( is thr any truth t this?

  • It doesn't matter what size your hard drive is. Any size will work as long as it's a 2.5" Serial ATA drive. I can't make any promises that a 3rd party hard drive won't damage your PS3, but most of them will work.

  • Hi there, I have a some questions. I want to add more memory to my PS3. I get the whole saving thing to a external hard drive.

    Just if I have downloaded games BUT HAVE NOT installed them on my PS3 yet when I swop out the drivers will they still be there?

    Also the Games that I have bought when the NEW hard drive is in would these games still be there? or would I need to download them again? And if so would I need to PAY for these games again?

    Please can someone advise me
