Re: The Playstation 3 Discussion Thread

Yeah... The swap thing is really simple, but the only problem is that the HDD has to be in FAT32 format, and i have read that some people have had problems with it. Meaning they haven't had all the space to show up after it...

theres a video on youtube showing how to do it.

Yeah, i know(technically) how to do it...

But i have read posts in this Finnish forum, that people have had trouble to format the HDD to FAT32 and get the whole 320 GB show up... There's been stories that some people has managed to "loose" almost half of that size...

Re: The Playstation 3 Discussion Thread

Stone, I'm not one to tell you what to do, but a 320gb is really over kill. a 180 will do you fine.


(Also, the Drive HAS to be Fat32, or it won't work. This goes for any size drive.)

Re: The Playstation 3 Discussion Thread

I wouldn't call it overkill... I would call it more like "preparations for the future"...

The plan is to get it, and atleast then i don't have to worry if i have enough HD space... Since i manage to spend space pretty quickly...

Re: The Playstation 3 Discussion Thread

Its not recommended because it would be slower

Re: The Playstation 3 Discussion Thread

Oh ok thnx Cryptik :)

To buy a new HDD for the PS3 it will have to be in PS3 format iirc i.e. Laptop HDD and Desky HDD 3.5s and 2.5s.

Scinto, yeah i think a message will automatically appear for ya for a format, or you can do it manually via settings.

Yeah, i think it will.... But people has formatted some HDD's by themselfs... Don't know why, so don't even ask...

Re: The Playstation 3 Discussion Thread

Several reviews of MGS4 have said that it is the best looking game made yet. Does it really look better than Crysis maxed out? On the screens and videos it doesn`t.

Re: The Playstation 3 Discussion Thread

MGS is not about the graphics its about the story, and graphics isnt everything, MGS will pwn Crysis anytime anyday

Crysis can't run on the PS3 because of its high graphics.

Re: The Playstation 3 Discussion Thread

PS3s are region free, right?

So if i would buy a PS3 in the States and buy MGS4 here in Holland, would i be able to play it? Because with the dollar being so low, i can get a PS3 for a lot less cash.

And which version should i buy? The 40, 60 or 80 GB?

Also, they don't sell the 60, only the 80 gig MGS4 bundle. The 40 is the only NORMAL model they sell.
