I want to replace my phat ps3 with this new slim but I need at least 250gb. Got a lot of tv programmes and films recored via Play tv. Will wait 1-2 mths to make sure that new slims are on the shelves.

it would probably be best for you to buy a 120gb, then with the £35 you save not buying the 250gb put it towards a 320gb HDD

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/320GB-NOTEBOOK-LAPTOP-HARD-DISK-DRIVE-2-5-SATA-PS3-NEW-/170355080099?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Computing_HardDrives_RL&hash=item27a9f43ba3

that one is £39:99 so altogether your paying the same price for the 250gb but with more HDD space

Then back up all your games save on the 120gb you took out keep it as spare or even sell it on ebay and make some more money back


But is upgrading hdd on the slim as easy  as on the phat? I got 320gb on my phat and  it took 10min to upgrade. I think you need to open the slim ps3 in order to be able to change hdd?

just as easy mate the panel is on the front instead of the side, just look for a quick guide on youtube wont take any longer than it did before, so buy the 120gb and save yourself some money

I hope there are no more shortages for the PS3.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

It's still the same price, It just means Sony are now making profit on every ps3 sold, which is very good news, as they can start making back on that big loss they posted

Sony was already making profit in the 1st Quarter JAN-MAR as Sony said

 

this increase it

Even better maybe this time next year we shall see the rewards with a small price cut early 2011 or maybe even christmas 2010 depending on how many well gt5 and other great titles sell

we for sure won't see it in  2011 start as there is no point to cut it at that time.

 

we could see a $50 depening upon 360's performance and its price cut.

 

32nm CELL is already coming this fall and with other price reduction of blu-ray and else,we will see a $50 this fall if 360 has an impact.Sony won't be sitting back this time as this is the peak time and if they wanna continue the momentum they will not sit back now.
