80GB PS3 to arrive 28th August
- Thread starter PV5150
- Start date
aren't they compatible with any 2.5" SATA drive?
why not just get the cheapest model and stick a 7200rpm 250GB HDD inside if you're worried about capacity instead of paying Sony's premium for the bigger (but still small) drive? Plus you get a faster drive...
or is that too technical?

Its not too advisable to get a 7200RPM drive unless it runs very cool, but yeah you're right, any laptop SATA drive....including SSD

Ahh, never thought of using an SSD in there Kemp.
Can you confirm it actually works? If so, Sony could make the PS3 smaller in size..

Well, researched the SSD/PS3 thing.. and it acutually reduces the performance of the PS3 load speeds by like 50%.. it's due to the SSD's poor write speeds:

Ahh makes sense Bloomerz
@SuB: I don't think so, it's PS1 backwards compat but not PS2. I don't really see the point of playing last gen games on it really, but each to their own

i dont understand this with the consoles makers, why they have to mess around with hard drives. They should just leave the hard drive and make you buy one (from either sony or a 3rd party).
It would work out cheaper for the console maker as they wouldnt have to carry so many sku's.

TBH if you're that bothered buy a mega cheap PS2 slim 
@nathan: I agree, especially for the PS3 where Sony actively support and encourage users to swap out HDD's

Meh, you're not going to get nice quality from an older game anyway, as I said I can't see the point in playing last gen games on a new console

No but don't get me wrong I can see your point, it's just I buy a next gen console for next gen games, not to play old classics on there and hell if I wanna do that I can buy em in the Live arcade or Sony Store
i buy a next gen console, for the next gen games, but thats only one of the reasons, and thats shadowed by features, i prefer one with features, hense why i like the ps3, and its F@H, and its good music player
and networking features, and everything else its got going for it
backward compatability is a must too, cos usually i have to trade in the console below said next gen console, to get the next gen console...
so being able to play the games on it makes it all that more worth it, because if i havent completed the previous gen games by the time the next gen console comes out, i wanna be able to finish them before i move onto the next gen console.......
