Upgrade Your PS3's Hard Drive

Step 2Stuff you need...

Stuff you need...
Alright, you'll need:

A Playstation 3 - That's pretty self explanatory. Please don't try this on your toaster.
A New Hard Drive - As discussed in the last step.
Precision Screwdriver Set - Really, don't try to use that big screwdriver in the junk drawer. You can snag a set of precision screwdrivers for 5 bucks, and they're absolutely necessary for this.

You can pick one of these up from Newegg for around $20 and recycle your PS3's existing hard drive into a spiffy external hard drive. I spent about $90 bucks altogether and ended up with four times the hard drive space and a new external drive. Now that's value.
