That is inevitable. We are talking about mass produced electronic devices, always some of them may come with problems even with revisions. It's all about luck.I'm going to wait until someone complains about hardware problems.
I've made way too mistakes buying stuff on day one then finding problems later in the course of time. I'll most likely get it when all the games I want are out. It doesn't need a slim version or a model with extra features, it has a lot already to start with.

There are hard drives that are compatible, most are. But if it isn't formatting properly then it must be the hard drive.[QUOTE="blabbyboy"][QUOTE="soulreaper-4"] Now way! So i won't be able to use the hard drive to backup my PS3?GTR12
Wrong, all HDD's are capable of any filesystem.
@TC, it takes 2 steps, and its really simple.
Start menu, type "cmd" (without the quotes) --> type "format /FS:FAT32 (drive letter):" (without quotes again).
Eg; format /FS:FAT32 Z:
Easy as that, now wait for ages.
I want to do this with an external hard drive not my laptop's drive. Can I?Its the External thats not compatible.blabbyboyNow way! So i won't be able to use the hard drive to backup my PS3?
format it in Fat32.. download a freeware format software if you have to.. but Windows should let you format in Fat32.PoisoN_Facecam0Window 7 is not giving me the option of fat32. Do you know of any freeware to format the drive?
I'm trying to make an external hard drive compatible with the ps3. I tried formating it to fat32 with window 7, but I only get the option of exfat. Anyone knows how to make it compatible with the ps3 and pc?
Unless you're a collector and want the OG ps3 avoid it they're more prone to breaking down, I bought my OG from a buddy about two years ago and she's still running like an old F-150 STRONG.FightingfanIt is said they are more prone because the CPU and GPU run a lot hotter than the newer. Anyway it is just about luck and the way the owner have been using it, like having pace for ventilation and so on. Anyway i would go with a brand-new one. I recently got a 320gb models and it runs great. You can't hear any louder high pitch noise like some of the 120gb systems.
