Upgrading PS3 Hardrive - someone to install it

IrishPhoenix

Looking to upgrade the harddrive in my PS3. Does anybody know someone reliable to install it as I don't want to do it myself. Are PC World any good?

Agh now don't pay anybody to do that.

It's very simple with 0% chance of error. Their is one small screw to remove on the side of the ps3 then the new drive just simply slots in. Don't be afraid to give it a go you can't damage anything

IrishPhoenix

But it's my brother's PS3 and it's the 60GB model that plays PS2. If I break it, I will be murdered.

you,ll be grand boy they would,nt make the machine with access that easy if you could,nt do it yourself

Do you have the hard drive already ?

It's very safe but if you still don't feel up-to the job. Waterford Micro Systems on the Mall would be your best bet

IrishPhoenix

If it seems to be that easy, I might try it myself. I don't have the hard drive yet. My brother only just discovered that he has nearly no room left on the drive when he tried to play Arkham Asylum

It is designed for anyone to be able to do it. It even tells you how in the manual.
