You're boned.  There is currently no way to retrieve the data from your old drive.  It is encrypted with a key that is specific to your old/dead PS3.  If you buy the wires to connect it you a PC you will just be wasting money as the PC will only display an empty drive.  Even Geohot gave up on cracking the encryption key.

 

Sorry for your loss =/

But Sata is Sata, why would I buy a "wires" when it just plugged into a spare Sata cable?

Xbox HD were locked to the console with an encrypted unlock key as well but there was a work around for that.

My PS3 is 3 years old in march an I have a Futureshop warranty why would I want to pay Sony $179 to get my saved game files when Futureshop should hopefully give me a gift card for $804.98, I will buy a slim 120 and have $500 left to buy games with.

 

Game saves or $500

Game saves or $500

mmmmm ........  $500

 

Wires as in SATA to USB in case the OP wasn't tech inclined or owned a laptop that he didn't feel like breaking into to get acces to a SATA port.

 

I'd take the $500 btw  =)
