Dubbed "PS3 HD Plus PHE-01," this supposed eSATA adapter latches to the bottom of any PS3 promising connectivity to an external SATA hard disk for some majorly powerful storage capacity.

IF it can be used as an ACTUAL PS3 HDD, for example, if you plug in a 1TB External HDD to the PS3 you cannot save HD movies, Game saves, or anything to it directly from the ps3, I would really like this to work like i want it to, becuase my PS3 80gb is fine for now, but what about when more full games start coming out for ps3, i have Warhawk, Wipeout, and Socom already downloaded, not to mention there is the SIren series, and also Burnout paradise, which i do not have, so this will be a VERY WELCOMED GIFT FROM GOD if it indeed works like it needs to

unlimited storage space (future TB of course).. i like. hope they make this product.

morganfell5557d ago

I have no doubt it can be used. There were guides on the web last year showing how to solder your own cables and run them to an external drive.

There is no such thing as Overkill.

oOLightOo5557d ago

not overkill at all for someone with large amounts of media.
too bad they don commercial petabytes or exabytes.

Due to mandatory installs "massive HDD storage" required for the PS3.

meatnormous5557d ago

seriously why the hell is Microsofts HDDs so damn expensive? I have a pro 60 gig unit and a external 320gb hooked up to it with all the music. PS3 has a 320gb HDD installed in it that cost alittle over 80 dollars when I bought it.

Xbox 360 hard drive is only for game demos and DLC...

it's all relative... an 20GB xbox 360 hard drive = 200GB PS3 hard drive.

the PS3 with a 20GB would be impossible to play more than 3-4 games.

The xbox 360 does not require that much hard drive space. PS3 needs it or games become unplayable.

"PS3 has a 320gb HDD installed in it that cost a little over 80 dollars when I bought it. " and I bet you had no choice... you pay $400 for the console and then have to $80 on top of it... are you running out of space already? I am currently using 40GB out of my 120GB hard drive...

Just like you do not need a 600GB MP3 player... xbox 360 does not need to have such amount of space.

Why is the xbox 360 hard drive so expensive per GIG? why are Sony's Memory sticks so expensive per gig? Apples and oranges kid... the xbox 360 hard drive is mobile... I have 3 xbox 360 and use only 1 hard drive... I can quickly take my content and saves to my other xbox 360 or friends house... can you do that with your PS3?

meatnormous5557d ago (Edited 5557d ago )

A cheap flashdrive lets me take saves where ever I go. That feature is missing from the 360. And when I bought my PS3, it was 600.00. There are alot of features that the PS3 has I wish were on the 360 and vice versa. Why no back usb port on the PS3 is beyond me. I have alot of movies saved to he internal HDD of my PS3 that would have killed the 360 if I tried the same, hence the external I have hooked up to the 360. I am far from being a kid, wish I was actually cause 30 is creeping up on me fast. I have all 3 consoles this gen and I love the PS3 and 360 equally now. Also sony doesn't limit you to using their memory sticks, there are plenty of other manufactures that make memory sticks at a lower price. Microsoft only allows the hdd they sell to work with the 360. Also look at the price of the wireless network adapter for the 360. That thing looks very cheap.

Make your next GPU upgrade AMD as these latest-gen Radeon cards receive a special promotion

AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.

Best for the money is the Arc cards

In the past yes but last gen amd has gotten cheaper and there new cards are on the horizon making 6k even cheaper.

The arc cards are no longer made by intel but asus/asrock has some the next line battlemage is coming out prices tbd.

Do to the longer software development its always best to go amd over intel if its not to much more money even though intel is a strong gpu i own 2/4 card versions.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH19h ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
