I bought a 40gb ps3 a while ago, i thought 40gb would be enough, i was wrong =/.
The space was quickly used up, now for Christmas i plan to get a 500gb external hard drive, back up my stuff onto the external hard drive, take the hard drive out of the external hard drive and swap it with my ps3 hard drive. Ive been on quite a few sites and theres alot of guides/stuff which means it IS possible, unfortunately im not very good with this kind of stuff and if i stuff up something....yeah the warrantee will break or something. Also just today a friend said that external hard drives dont work as internal ones, i dont know who to believe! Can anyone help?

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.
As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.
Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.
Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.
Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.
Yeah, I use plastic.
Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!
Ska- UR MUM LIKE IS SPICY
Ska- why d i get the feeling what i typed will end up in the quote depository; or worse: someone's sig.

From what little I know about computers, a hard drive can work as either internal or external as you as you have the right connections. If you wanted to change hard drives with your PS3, you'd have to make sure the size of the hard drives are the same, and that the PS3 connections will work. That said, you will void your warranty if you do so, so it's best to get someone who knows what to do.

2 things.
1) George means the physical size of the drive not the data size.
2) 40GB PS3s suck. *<3s his 60GB original* that said there are very few good games out right now.
