You use like backup cds i think or like usb you can get them in 32 gbs. Store all your info on that then when you upgrade you can download it to your new hdd.

Well you could either get a new internal or external HDD.

Since you seem to want an external one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136170&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Hard+Drives+-+External-_-Western+Digital-_-22136170

Its already FAT32 Format so you should be able to just plug it in and play

Option 1: Get a bigger hard drive:

- Hook up a FAT32 external HDD, then use the PS3's backup utility to back up EVERYTHING.

- OR: Get a flash card. This way you can back up saved files, music, photos and videos only.

- After this, install the new HDD.

Option 2: Just delete some stuff :P
