What kind of harddrive do you buy to upgrade a ps3??

May be...

And can someone list a link to a website that sells a harddrive that has a good amount of memory for a great price?? Also what is a good amount of gb's, about how much do installs, games, and demos take up because i want extra space for songs and videos and dont want to feel nervous about being short for space, but I dont need like 200gb??

2.5'' sata hdd

Just check the playstation website, they have a how-to guide on it. It seriously takes like 5 minutes. Goodluck. Report Abuse

Newegg.com is a great place for HDD's, you need this..

PS3 work on a TV thats atleast 18 years old? cuz ive finally got enough money for a PS3 but is it worth if I dont have an HDTV?ive been waiting for the next price cut but with the latest bundle with the MGS4 i feel thats a good enough deal to get it now, but i definetly dont have the money for an HDTV. what do you think?

Just get it now. When i first bought it i was playing on a 32" sd in my room and the graphics were still really really good. Now i have an hdtv in my room and they just keep getting better. Just make sure you have Red Yellow White jacks!

theres no need to get an hdtv. if you think about it at least you still get to play mgs4.



it won't make THAT much of a difference. gameplay is still the same.

Its hould work as long as you have the little av jacks on the tv.

How do I get my PS3 to work on my non HDTV?

May be...

I've tried using the AV Cable from my PS2 and putting it in my PS3, but it didn't work.

Your AV cable from your PS2 or even PS1 (god forbid, that cable would be old) should work on your PS3. The only reason you would have a problem with getting them to work would be if you previously had the PS3 outputting video through an HDMI cable.. if that's the case read on. If not, make sure your tv is on the right input.



If you had an HDMI cable and switched to composite (red yellow white) or maybe even component (red blue green) you'll need to reset the video settings. to do so, turn on your PS3, and press the I/O sensor on the console, and hold it until you hear 3 beeps. takes about 20 seconds. then fire it up and it should work. if that doesnt do it for you, i dont know. maybe you can provide more info?

what you need to do is go into display settings then video output settings then click component cable then make sure only the 480 standard box is checked then push right on the d pad then save the setting then u should be good. Hope it helps

It should work. If not, try the cables that came with the ps3.



Check ps3 if it is used.



Also did you check VIDEO 1 and such.

Love your avatar...where did you get it?

Off subject I know...can't wait for Sept 7th!

GO BEARS!!!!

check out this site, they give you a playstation 3 FOR FREE!! i got mine last week and i'm luuuuvin' it!

just use the cables that came with the PS3

Annoyed because of my ps3 wierd huh? answer it!?

May be...

Ok im really getting pissed off and get really annoyed when someone dumb in this house will ever hit, touch , use , put things on top , specially scratch my ps3 even if i sleep i all ways wonder if who will do the things i don't like coz ive work hard for ps3 then i recieved this situation and its brand new never scratch and maintain clean not even my self can scratch how to avoid that situation do you think asking them or built a protective glass under the tv stand to really avoid it?

tell them its a 500$ machine and it should be treated like one. Maybe put it up higher. Just get it outve the way.

Put it in a spot that's more out of the way.

Or get one of those stretchy laptop bags and slide it on the front after using, just remember to let it cool off first.

i would be pissed too,i would put it in a safe place, mabey a case would work and tell everone not too

I place mine in a vault padded with the softest foam available..



Dude, seriously..

I'm having PROBLEMS with MY PS3 please HELP me?

May be...

Ok I have had my ps3 for 9 months now and ever since I first bought it I am having problems with staying connected to the playstation network I have tried ignoring it but it has gotten to the point where it is extremely annoying...when I turn on my ps3 I will sign in then I will go about playing a game then when I quit the game and go back to the main XMB screen it will give me an error message and it will sign me out. How can I fix this problem? Please help me? WOuld this be more of a router problem or a ps3 problem? What suggestions do you have for me?

It's your router. Don't blame the ps3 for this :) Cheap *** xbox.

its ur router. and is it your router or are u stealing someone elses wireless connection. cuz if its someone elses then maybe they turned their router off or disabled the connection. if it is your router then make sure that the ps3 is close to the router with a high signal strength. you want above 85% signal strength for a good connection. if it is yours and its close with a good signal then im not sure why.

well why not try the sony customer service site but i hope you know that the ps3 is the glitchest of the newest console i would have gotten a 3360 but oh well try going to thr playstation custemor service site if that dosent help send it to sony so they can check it out

I am having the exact same problem and have no idea how to fix it. I can play online or use the online service but after I stop it seems to just cut the connection. Sorry but I haven't figured out how to fix it either. :(

theres not a problem with ur ps3 its ur router

both have huge fan base

both have hardware issues

Both can media share with computers

Both have large online communities

it mostly depends on what games your kids like to play. Although most games are available for ps3 and 360, some are exclusive to the system. The old 360s had many problems with overheating and the "ring-of-death", but the newer, more expensive, ones are better, though they still glitch a lot. Ps3s barely malfunction, but are more expensive. Also, if you use xbox live or it's playstation equivalent, you may go with one system over another because of whether their friends have one.

the xbox 360. i have played them both many many times and i like the xbox better. to me, it has better controls, and better games. it has most games the ps3 has plus gears of war(awesome game), halo 1-3, and soon gears 2. on top of that, the xbox is cheaper and has xbox LIVE, where you can play online, chat with friends, and download maps and other content from LIVE marketplace, some for free. plus, i think it looks cooler.



and to anyone who uses the " red ring of death" against the 360, the newer consoles have been completly redesined to drastically reduce the number of red ring incidents.

PS3 kicks Xbox 360's ***.



It has so much more features, and is better than Xbox 360 in every way. It has better graphics, now better games. The Playstation Network is free, wireless, and has HOME coming out which is free as well.

PS3 also has a trophy system in it's next update.



And TruthBt, whatever, Sony lost 6 billion dollars, and

Microsoft lost 20 billion.





Oh and by the way, I have had 5 Xbox 360's in the last 2 years. They break a lot. Their hardware is cheap, and the graphics are outdated.

xbox 360 = cheaper and crappier

PS3 = expensive yet has Bluray and better hardware made for evolution. Also has motion sensing controllers for Wii like games.



EDIT : "if the PS3 is better, why did Sony report loss' in the Billions because of the PS3 sales.



Go for the 360, more reliable network for multiplayer game play."



Sony took a loss on the system so they could sell more of them, more hardware sold = way more software sold, this is not uncommon with consoles, MS has lost close to 18 billion in repairs for the Xbox 360.



Online play on Ps3 is fine, and free. Home will make it better.

PS3 is going to have a longer life span meaning you cna keep it for longer without it becoming out of date.

Xbox will break down numerous times and you ahve to but lots of extra accesories which makes it cost more than the PS3.



The PS3 is better than a Xbox.

ps3 it may not have sold as well as a 360 because it is slightly more expensive, but the graphics are amazing, and the ps3 is also a blue ray disc player. i have both and i definetly like my ps3 better.

if the PS3 is better, why did Sony report loss' in the Billions because of the PS3 sales.



Go for the 360, more reliable network for multiplayer game play.

I would go with the PS3 cause they already have games for it so if they want to keep playing those games they don't need to buy new ones for the 360.

xbox360 has a better selection of games

ps3 has more advanced technology(like blu-ray) but not by a lot

well if your kids are around 13 or 14 i dont see a point for them to have blu-ray so i'd go with the Xbox 360
