Rick's correct, you need to just update the system. If you have your PS3 on your network, you just need to go to the settings column, 2nd from the rleft, on the XMB (PS3 main menui) and select the top most option "System Upda te" and let it do its thing. If you don't have your PS3 on your network for whatever reason, usually games that need newer system versions include an update on the disc--look on the game column under the game icon for a "system update" icon.

What that means is that you need to update your PS3 system software to the latest version. It has nothing to do with your hard drive. Hope I was able to help.

I haven't used mine yet, but it will come formatted in NTFS. It's kind of a given. Though you can virtually use any portable hard drive with the PS3 or Linux. All you need to do is download a little program called fat32format, and you can format the hard drive in FAT32 (Which the PS3 can read) regardless of size. I did this with a 500 GB and a 1 TB hard drive for my PS3.

From the reviews I've seen on Newegg, yes, this drive can upgrade a PS3 since it's 9.5mm height. I plan on buying one this week to upgrade my 120GB slim so I have more storage for the new wave of PS Plus games coming out

You would actually need a SATA HDD for the PS3, not a PATA HDD. Make sure it is a 5400 RPM HDD too. 7200 RPMs cause lockup issues.

Just buy the PS4 version of the game. PS2, PS3 and PS4 diskc can only be played only on the console for which they are made and are so marked. Some new games for PS4 are also released for PS3. Gran Turismo is one such game. I hope this helps.

Here is the short version... YES!!! Just put this HDD in the PS4 and it works beautifully. Be sure to get the PS4 firmware update on a USB storage device! You're going to need it.

No, this is a 3.5 inch drive and PS3 requires a 2.5" drive for the internal drive in order to upgrade, and remember, when you swap internal drives on a PS3 you have to manually backup your data and restore it to the new drive.

The PS3 does have a hard drive. However, this particular form factor (3.5") is too big for a replacement. What you need is a 2.5" form factor or laptop/notebook hard drive. Go to this link for step by step removal of your old PS3 hard drive.http://vgstrategies.about.com/od/ps3cheatsandcodes/a/PS3HDDDriveSwap.htm

Yes! I installed it in my PS3 Slim. Get the DreamSky® Super Slim Hard Disk Drive HDD Mounting Bracket For PS3 CECH-400x SeriesPS3 if you can't remove the current drive from the bracket. I had problems with the screws on the original. This this the trick. The drive is working great. You do need to use a USB to install a file to get the hard drive to work. The instructions are on the PS3 site on how to upgrade a HD.

i think it is old and not good for PS4 ( if you notice 5400 RPM is too old tech ) , PS4 needs better but you must see compatible HDD in sony website like i did with this Samsung HDD 1 TB i saw it in the website it was recommended by sony for the PS3 .

This is not the correct form factor for a PS3. Have a look at laptop drives.

the PS3 comes standard with a 2.5" SATA hard drive. If you were to replace it your largest current option is one of the 500GB 2.5" Sata hard drives (Seagate,Hitachi, and others make them). The drives menioned above are 3.5" SATA hard drives that would not fit normally into the slot. That said you might be able to "make it work" with an external hard drive case and a SATA to eSATA adapter, but it would be extreme and non trivial.

Sorry no I put it in my ps4 and put the ps4 hard drive in my ps3. All I can say is it works great in the ps4.

You have to check the actual physical size of your hard drive. This one fits a 2.5 inch space. I used mine for my ps3 and works great. Should work I'd guess

Yes any 2.5" SATA HDD will work with your Playstation 3, it will have to be formatted and you will need the latest version of the Firmware ready on a Thumb Drive. See here: http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps3/pc_update/

I've had the 500gb in my PS3 slim for 3 days and haven't noticed any speed up in boot up time which has always been 21-22 seconds from start up to entering the xmb...And i haven't noticed anything like my pictures or game demo's pop up any faster.

Sorry it took so long. This hard drive is ONLY for the slim model. Go figure, just another way to control our gaming. Lol.
