Extra memory for the PS3? - Blu-ray Forum

Idioteque... · 06-29-2011, 03:38 AM

I'm running out of memory for games on the Ps3 since I have the 2nd gen 80gb and I know that Xbox has its own HDD that you can buy but is there one for the PS3?

So far I've had no luck on google. Any ideas or I'm out of luck?

If you want an external HDD just about any one will work:

However if you want a new internal HDD then there is some limits though not much (it would need to be a 2.5 laptop HDD):

Okay but with the external how would I be able to install games like the Infamous download or save files onto the external?

Not so sure on that one. You could move all the nonessential stuff to the external and save to the internal. Sounds like the option you would want to go for would be the new internal though if you want to install more full games. You can transfer the contents of your current hdd to a new one, but even so you would need the external HDD to transfer your current PS3 hdd to the new one.

Looks like that's what I'm going to do now since i had a friend inform me of a really fast internal HDD, it will help a lot with fast installs of games and fast load times and it'll be 500 gb that will rock. Hopefully Ps3 sticks around for a long time.

You don't mean "memory", you mean Hard Drive space.

From Amazon you can buy a 500GB-1TB PS3 HDD compatible (HDD 2.5, I think) and its price isn't high, quite good.
