DIY Playstation 3 320GB SKU

What's interesting about this generation's consoles is how polar opposite they are. One will get something perfectly right while the other makes an outrageous blunder. Everyone can whole heartedly agree that the Xbox 360's "elite" hard drive, offering 120GB of space for $180, is a text book example of screwing the consumer.

By comparison, in Playstation 3 world $180 bucks can get you 320GB of space to fill.

Just a little something to think about if you feel the need to upgrade. Or if you haven't picked up a PS3 yet and don't care about backwards compatibility, 400 + 180 = $580 will get you your own custom built 320GB SKU, which will surely make your neighbors envious.

Bonus: Enter promo code EMCACCCBB for a quick $20 saving, making final price $159. The code *should* still work.

Kind of funny considering the 360(microsoft) is the one pushing the dd's.

fenderputty5900d ago (Edited 5900d ago )

If you're going to push DD, then charging an arm and a leg for HDD space works out to their benifit. It works out for MS and not the consumer.

If I ever do upgrade my HDD, I'll probably just go with an external one so I can avoid the headache of transfering data and switching out the internal HDD.

Genesis55900d ago

Yeah I not big on that kind of thing either but that video really did make it look easy.

C_SoL5900d ago

I want a silver PS3 now.

MikeGdaGod5900d ago

i've done this months ago. i put a 120gb in mine and put the 60gb in an external case that i usually keep hooked up to the system.

so really, i have a 180gb ps3

deeznuts5900d ago

fenderputty, just remember, you cannot store game saves and data on the external drive. just media. but if you have a bigger sku (i.e. not 20gb) and do just game saves on the internal, you should be fine.

Christmas strikes early. I'm running out of space copying HD movies to the hdd. Predator alone is like 9 gigs

Surfman5900d ago

I start to check for more space too. My 60GB is getting pretty full with DMC 4, music, movies and PSN games.

Keowrath5900d ago

Same here. My 60GB still has 19GB left on it but I'd like to get a bigger HD in the machine for future use. And sooner rather than later, especially after the amount of stuff I keep buying and downloading from the PSN recently.

I never realised they were so cheap. Thought it was a US thing but you can pick them up from as little as £50 ($100) in the UK.

moparful995900d ago

Hehe I bought an internal 200gig hdd for my ps3 and then turned around and bought another 160 external max drive pro. I got the max drive for 30 bucks. Ohh the benefits of being a best buy employee... But anyway I formatted the drive and now it says that I have 204 gigs of storage! I was like damn I have 400gigs of storage on my ps3... Lol I love it, I even whent on a downloading blitz and transfered every jpeg, mpeg, divx, mp3, and mp4 file on my computer. I also downloaded ever video from the ps store and basically every free thing you can get on there and I've only used like 100 gigs of storage...

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos3h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis19h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast18h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 14h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 14h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
