i got my new 500gb installed on my ps3 now

im happy and it seems to be working great and i notice the game seems to load faster its 7200 rpm but whats also nice i still have all my saved data and everything on there form my original 60gb drive and svr 2010 is copyright prohibited saved data but that game is also on my new hardrive i had geek squad do it but i am happy its done now they did a good job with it

Cool. I'd say you are set for the rest of this PS generation. Enjoy. :)

thanks so if your wondering where i can have someone do it for u geek squad does it they back up ur saved files and install the new drive

I was gonna put a 7200 rpm on mine but i was watching reviews that it said it might conflict on something and it didnt matter anyways.

Right now i have a Seagate 500GB 5400rpm on mine. Put in everything myself its really easy to do takes like 5minutes. Backing up your harddrive can take over 3hours.

I'm curious as to how much they charged you for that.

i bought the hardrive and then i gave it to them to put it inand they also backed up my saved files to transfer to the new hardrive it was a total of $251 i had abunch a view gift card things and it came to then $191 but i bought the hardrive with it that why it seems it cost alot the hardrive was $140 but for them to install the hardrive its $50 and to back it up its another $50

Not a good deal.

I can understand why you would want to pay to have that done esp. if your not too techy. It's a bit steep. Not trying to be rude and I don't know how old you are but a little knowledge goes a long way. I would highly recommend doing some research on a tech subject before paying to have the work done.

everything was back on there from my original drive the only thing i had to do was sync my trophies thats all

That's a pretty good price. Check out this site... they have some really good prices, and usually free shipping.

When I saw that Geek Squad was charging $129 to "set-up" a PS3 at your house, I knew I would never let them do anything.

i got a hitachi 500gb during black friday for 50 bucks. You could have done the install yourself. I did and it was very easy
