I wish you luck because I really want to do this too, but.... http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2433/ps3_upgrading_harddrive_notes_tips/It is an Internal notebook hard drive (2.5). Although you can hook up a bigger 3.5 drive and have it external (it won't fit inside the ps3). You have to put a case around it and hook up the SATA wire to the ps3. There are videos going around on youtube showing how to do it.
I opted for the internal notebook drive because I wanted it clean and inside.
I haven't gotten to the drive part yet. I am finally backing up the 60GB drive onto one of my external portable drives. It is taking forever (an hour and a half so far).
From what I read the exact drive that I purchased is one of the go to drives for doing this. The only bad reviews that I read were drives that were ordered off the net that showed up DOA.
Here are some tips on how to upgrade the internal harddrive (20GB or 60GB PS3s).
PS3 Factory Harddrive Specs:
-Sata 150
-5400RPM
-20GB or 60GB capacity
maximum size internal hdd that PS3 can use: 250GB
maximum size of external hdd connected to PS3 via USB: 500GB, also must use FAT32 filesystem (PS3 will not recognize NTFS)
(added 2/28/08)
Agreed completely.Out of those 2 choices, I vote for Assassin's Creed.
Wasn't impressed with GT5P. Hopefully they will add stuff and take the bugs out with the real version.

this isn't the thread for this noob. go back to the 360 thread. stupid trolls.PS3 blows..360 is KING.
is he trying to start a console eFight?PS3 blows..360 is KING.
PS3 blows..360 is KING.
f**k THAT! Atari 2600!both of them blow.... NES is king!!!
noooo you'll never have to do that.... just find a way up...OK lethal6. You told me Assassin's Creed so I got it. Decide to take a break from the action and collect flags. In Kingdom there is one on top of a pillar.. that you have to jump from another pillar to get. HOW THE f**k DO YOU DO IT??? I can't make it I die everytime.
Or anyone else that has played it.
welp, it was the first console ever.... and 37 years later, their predecessors like the ps3 and 360 still havent worked all of the kinks out...lol.... odyssey was like one of the worst consoles ever
