Well the only reason i asked is because my credit card recently expired and it will take about another 2 weeks for a new one and my ps3 has like 2gb left so thanks for the help ass.

Probably can find it locally. Best Buy, Staples, Microcenter, etc. at the very lease, the 500Gb version.

you can't seriously be looking for that answer here, you must have been on drugs. It's pretty lame to ask on one retailer's site if something is available on another retailer's site not to mention the fact it would have been easier for you to type in bestbuy.com and look for yourself than to type your question.

I bought a Seagate 1tB about two years ago. I've had to have it replaces twice already and I'm looking for a third replacement. I still have a 150Gb WD drive that I bought nearly a decade ago. In my experience, I would go with the WD... I'm about to buy this one.

It works great. Just put this HDD in my PS4. Be sure to get the PS4 firmware on a USB storage device too.

I believe your system already has the mounting bracket. Go to Support.us.playstation.com just type in your model it will show you step by step for installing a hard drive. Hope this helps.

I ordered the same drive from Amazon earlier this year (order a 500GB, they were out so sent me a 750Gb). Delivery was quick as most things from Amazon are. I installed the HDD in a Dell Opti 760 which I would consider a small desktop. It works fine but it sure seems noisy. Everytime I go to use it, it seems to be crunching away doing something. I plan to replace it when I get the time. No problems with reliability.

Yes, this is the same drive I put in my original ps3 system, It's very easy you can change it in less than 5 min. Make sure to copy your old HD save data onto a USB drive to transfer it to the new 500gb one.

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.

I've installed it on my PS3 (original 60GB model) and the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB works just fine. Boot times are faster and so are read times. Installs (write times) are just as fast as any other 7200RPM drive I've used before.Before you remove your old drive, reboot it and time it just to get an idea of your boot times.Then install the new drive, boot it once then reboot it again. You'll notice a nice improvement over your old drive.

I'm planning to get the Momentus XT for Christmas but I need some reassurance from someone who has owned this drive for a at least a year in their PS3 and has upgraded to SD28 (Latest firmware) because I really do want to get it, it's cheap for what it is and what it does which makes a perfect buy, however if it's going to have problems later down the road then I might have to reconsider, I've heard some good stuff and I heard some bad stuff about it, but I just really need to be sure before taking the plunge to buying it.

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

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 .

yes, i installed mine, and im glad i did it before i started setting up my ps4. Would recommend for gamers. You can also upgrade it up to 2 TB (or more)

The requirements for PS3 are a 2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD. Don'ts - Use speeds over 5,400 rpm - not Parallel ATA connection - Not more than 640 Gig size. This model appears to have all the qualifications. Here is web site that may provide you with assistance. http://www.exitstrategy.co.nz/ps3-hdd-replacement-help/ Good Luck

Thanks for the reply. I checked on the 23rd as well and saw Amazon.com as a seller once again. Placed an order for three drives right away. Price was about 3-4 bucks lower. I like Amazon because they are the only seller on Amazon.com that has free shipping to Hawaii. That alone saves me $20 or more on every order. Add in no taxes and it far better for me to shop online then at most local retail stores. No so good for the local economy but my economy is number one!

Yes, I just purchased it for my son and it works. What I didn't know is that if you don't have the casing you need it also as that is what the hard drive sits in. Then you insert the whole thing in the ps3.

Truthfully I'm not sure. I used this hard drive to replace the one on my PS3. You'll have to do a little research before doing anything. Sorry I couldn't help.
