I just got The Last of Us plus I got Revengeance and Zone of the Enders HD for 26 bucks apiece so I'm really anxious to get the PS3 back in action. I just keep walking into the room and then walking out again shaking my head. I'm so frikkin' tired.
I was like a kid in a candy store. So many beers, so little time. Place serves a mean burger and caesar salad too. The lads and I have chosen it as our regular meeting place from now on.
It's so much faster than the mac and cheese. :)
They'll have to catch their own damn bugs. :)
Excellent Chris, excellent.
LOL. That's our Blake. :)
Here's a youtube vid on replacing the drive.
You cannot store games on an external HDD without doing some sort of illegal modification.
Installing a new HDD is quite simple and there are even instructions in the PS3 manual on doing it. Sony deliberately built it that way. It's the backup and restore that are a pain in the ass but you only have a 40 GB drive so it shouldn't be bad.
I blogged about doing it a while back but I was going from a 320 GB to a 750.
The machine will accept pretty much any 2.5" SATA Laptop drive and you should be able to find a one terabyte unit for under $100 these days. Here are the three blogs I wrote on the process. If you don't care about keeping the games and saves on your old drive it will be really quick.
