I'm going for play.com's HDD, heres the links for both the 320GB and 500GB. The 320GB is £40 and the 500GB is £60.

Also watch the RPM your looking for 5,400. dont buy anything thats faster because that could make you run into some problems.

Actually 7200 is what he should go for. What problems are you talking about?



           

Oooh nice ones, that $50 one looks just about right, what is RPM though??



I got a 320GB one for £40, in the UK though. My word of warning would be concerning the screws holding the HDD in place, I failed to get them out properly, so now I need to ask Sony for a new tray

the ps3 is designed to work with HDD at 5400, 7200 will not speed up anything, you just might overheat your ps3

i was also considering upgrading, think i'll go for a 320gb at 60 CHF (55$) it's really cheap nowadays



Yeah I'll be upgrading soon with the whole Movie Store coming to the UK, I think 60Gb is no longer any good to me, well utterly useless now that there is only 5Gb left on it. So it'll be 500Gb upgrade for me.
