http://www.gamersreports.com/article/43/ hope this helps you as much as it did me!!! You dont have to get the 120GB I got the 250GB and it works great!
Um, read the instruction book that came with your PS3. Sony tells you how to do this right out of the box. And what does this have to do with the console being flawless?
Seems like a generic guide to me. Regardless people still strip the screws it's common knowledge. There are only a few that haven't stripped at least 1 screw while getting it out.
it dose improve the pop up rate of textures ingame and the load times are a few seconds faster. thats what i mean by flawless. and i have liquid cooling im my PS3 but thats besides the point. and this is a flawless easy way for someone to use as a reference to upgrade HDD.
Do you still only have to back up game saves? Does it save downloaded games from the PSN? Wireless settings? Pictures/Music? I can't imagine it saves all that, thats what the hard drive is for.

That's one thing I would still like to know. Can you back up games you have bought from the PSN?

Because I'm considering upgrading my PS3.
Yep, i backed up my 2nd PS3's files on a 8GB Kingston USB Flash Stick and when i installed the new hard drive and restored what i've backed. I saw that all my themes, demos, and PSN Games i purchased where they belong. And i youtube'd how to replace the hard drive. VERY easy, although the blue screw was a pain to get out, i stripped it to hell. ohwell
Yea I've heard that specific screw can be easily stripped.
I'll youtube it like you said.
Any specific hard drive I should get? Brand wise?
I want at least 300gigs though.

Yeah man, it was stripped so bad i had to use plyers to get it out, haha. I think Seagate is the official hard drive they use. Atleast thats what it said when i pulled out the hard drive from my PS3. So i'd go with Seagate.

It only improves the load times if your willing to buy a HDD with a higher RPM. If you bought a 5400 I sorely doubt the times would improve. Only with a 7200 can you see a difference and even then it's only a couple of seconds.

I just upgraded my 60GB PS3 today with a WD 320GB HDD. Making the HDD swap is easy but fighting those cheap screws was the tuff part. I got the first blue head screw out no problem but I stripped the hell out of the four screws in the HDD caddie, luckily I was able to use a vice grip to twist them out.
As for data on my old HDD I only backed up my game saves because I just have a 32MB pen drive. I just re-downloaded all the demos and PSN games that I had before. The only problem is when it comes to video content those can only be downloaded once which is totally BS... So now I have to buy another copy of Firefly season 1 ep. 1... I'm glade I didn't go wild a "buy" a bunch of movies and TV shows cause all that money would've been flushed down the toilet... I just bought the one TV show so all I'm out is $1.99 but still that is BS Sony...
