Get a PS3 up to 370 GB instead.

I strongly recommend for people to just get a 120 GB PS3 for 299 dollars and get a 250 GB hard drive for 45 dollars instead of getting a 250 GB PS3 for 350 dollars!!! You actually end up paying 5 dollars less for 370 GB!!!!!!

I even heard that stores even sell 1.5 TB hard drives FOR JUST 100 DOLLARS!!!!!!!!

I guess he's talking about adding an external hard drive. That's fine, but you can't use it for game data, and isn't ideal space-wise either.

Uhm, maximum PS3 hard drive is currently up to 750GB, from what I've heard.

ps3 uses a 5400 rpm 2.5 inch sata laptop drive, I have a 500gb in mine, but you certainly cannot get a 1.5tb laptop drive that I know of

Hes definately talk about external hard drive in regards to the TB. I have a 1TB hooked up to mine so I can watch tv shows on it...pretty handy

explain please...gamerlifegrace

Not sure what you need him to explain...it was pretty clear. You can't use an external drive for game data. That's fact. You can use it for movies, photo's and music, and you can store your game saves there (although you have to copy them back to the main drive to use them when you play the game...and some games don't let you copy the data at all). But you absolutely can't use the external for game data.

Of course, you only can play one game at a time, so you don't HAVE to keep all game data for all your games on the drive at all times. Still nice to have a big enough internal so you don't have to sit through the stupid "installing game data" screens more than once for any game....not to mention downloading updates and whatnot. I currently have 100 GB of space used on my internal just for game data and downloaded PSN games...so 120 GB internal is definitely not enough for me.

How did you format it for use in the PS3? Ihave not found a way to format more than 500GB in FAT32 (which is what the PS3 needs). I have several 1 TB external USB drives, but currently don't use any of them with the PS3 because of that issue. They are all formated as NTFS.

Only a 500GB 2.5 drive can fit in a PS3. The new 750GB drive is a little to big for the PS3.

120GB is more than enough for me;)

Where do you find these deals? ive been on Tiger Direct which, by my friends, is the place to buy HDDs for cheap, so i found this link, but i find it expensive! 190$CDN + tax+shipping for 640GB 2.5'' SATA 5400 RPM Western Digital. Where do you find these deals? Can i find them in Montreal?

You can check to see if Newegg ships to Canada but they have great products at low prices.
