ps3 slim

[zsv650]

anyone seen it yet i'm not decided wether i like it or not look's like a big folder for paperwork i like the price cut though.

[wyrdness]

I said that when they release a slim version at a reduced price, I'd get one. However, Baby Wyrdness came along and I've got no time left for gaming. So I probably won't be getting one for some time, if at all.

[zsv650]

definitely a lot slimmer than the fat one doesn't look as flashy or sleek as the shiny one mind imo i don't like it so much that i'd trade mine in for it.

Looks tacky to me with the rounded corners.
I know the original is a finger print magnet but the new design is naff.

Anyway Gamplay are selling the 80 gig for £250 so no big deal on the price, if they had dropped £100 off that would be nice.

Glad i have the 40 gig with my 250 gig upgrade.

oh amiga nut how easy is it to upgrade i might be looking to 320gb my 80gb soon but i'm worried about all my save game's ie my precious precious killzone online account how did you work the transfer of all your stuff.

I used a usb stick and used the backup option and then resored on the new drive.
But some stuff is protected so you may lose some saves. I think Res evil has been patched to remove the protection do not know about KZ.

You can always try the upgrade and bear in mind uou still have the old drive & data if it does not live up to expectations.

I did not have to much to back up as I used a 4 gig stick.

THe upgrade itself is a piece of cake just get the correct size screwdriver as the screws may be a problem in sone PS3's.

right pay day i know what i'm getting then cheer's duuuuude.

Just make sure you have enough backup space, if you satisfied you can then get an external caddy and use the old drive as a back up etc for the PS3 but it needs to be formatted to Fat32, which I think XP and Vista do not support on 40+ gig so you need a prog of the net to format it.

I bought the WD Scorpio 250 gig had no problems with it.

Good Luck.

[zsv650]

won't the ps3 format it automatically.

The PS3 will ask to format the new drive as soon as you switch back on but it will not recognise the old drive plugged in to the usb if thats what you mean.

You must back up to a stick etc as you can not transfer game data etc between drives.

The upgrade went like a dream nothing to really worry about.

You need HP Fat 32 formatter if you want to format the old drive for PS3 use as an external.

Hope that makes sense and answers your question.

When you upgrade reply to the thread if you get stuck and I will try to help, but you should have no problem all the PSN Network and passwords will still be there I am not sure if its stored on the backup or is in the PS3 flash ram but it will be there.

ok cool i'll give it a bash friday see how it goes i'm surprised how quickly i've gone through 80gb mgs4 alone is 4gb mind.

[AmigaNut]

Go the feeling you may need to redown load the updates etc and reinstall games. Think it just backs up the saves.

It was a long time ago.

[zsv650]

i'll leave a afternoon spare then i know how sony love their update's.

So the official Sony PS3 site is lying then (http://uk.playstation.com/games-media/news/articles/detail/item229653/Entertainment-on-PS3-has-a-new-look/)?

And Sony's Heads of Computer Entertainment are also lying on these BBC clips (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8207472.stm)?

The article that you linked to is three months old.

[DanAbnormal]

Hey boys, keep your pants on. I made a mistake. Are you maybe a bit defensive over poor old Sony and their fabulous console...

Sorry for those who care less, like me.

My mistake, hands up.


On a side, does look quite cool.

I very much doubt anyone was being all that serious mate.

I wasn't anyway. All a bit of fun.

I don't own a PS3 and I'm not intending to buy one either (I was going to, but now we've got a baby I don't have time). I was just having a bit of a laugh about you telling people that they're wrong without first checking your facts. I'm not even sure how you found a 3 month old article to quote, as if you put PS3 into Google right now, you'll find loads of articles about the new model.

I don't know either? I was tired, I'm not sure how I ended up on that page.


Sorry for being a tw@, no hard feelings?
