Slim PS3 HDD Upgrade Question
I was just wondering if it would be worth it for me to pay extra for a 500GB 7200 RPM HDD, or am I better off just grabbing a 1TB 5400 RPM HDD for my PS3?
Note: I rarely download/install anything from PSN (prefer physical/retail copies whenever possible). |
Do you really need the new HDD if you say you rarely download digital games?
What kind of HDD do you have now? |

One important detail you left out is: how much space is left on the hard drive?

I also like to copy movies and shows from my External HDD (it's also a 160 GB) to the PS3 HDD for watching 720p/1080p content on our 32 inch 720p LCD HDTV. I do that because our computer isn't even capable of watching 720p, it's a Dell Dimension 2350 from 2002 with an Intel P4 2.20 GHz CPU, 256MB RAM, and no real video/graphics card (just a 64 MB onboard driver). |
If it's for movies... do you plan to archive those movies on PS3 HDD or watch & delete?

Another reason why I'm wanting to upgrade, even if it's just another 5400 RPM HDD, is so I can install a fresh PS3 OS. I can do that with my 160GB, but I'd have to either backup EVERYTHING on it first, or just sacrifice/delete it all...which isn't an option. |

Well... in my opinion, 1TB would be pointlessly throwing money away... In your case, 500GB ought to be more than enough. |

Do you think I should spend the extra $10 for double the HDD space? |

I could buy it as soon as 4 weeks from now, but I'd rather focus on buying the 2008-2011 PS3 games on my wish list first: http://pastebin.com/xAnQWVk2 |

Yet another reason why I'm avoiding the Super Slims...If I ever need to replace my PS3, I'll probably buy a $200 12GB PS3 (Used - Like New) and a $10 HDD mounting bracket for the 1TB Toshiba. |
