Will this drive work with a PS3/games from any region, as long as the lasers are correct for the model?

It will function the same as the original, if your console allows this then the laser will too.

Yes it will. Mine has been working great. The drives are unit specific. Everything else (updates) come via the Internet which is not region specific. Mine works great!!

The model number on my PS3 matched up with the advertised model. I installed it in about 10 minutes and have been using it ever since. You will have to remove the circuit board from the old drive. The new one will not have it, but it is easy.

Just to clarify everything. This WILL work in your PS4 just fine. You have to have a flash USB drive to insert the firmware update onto this hard drive after installation. This WILL NOT work on PS3. However, my suggestion to you is to simply wait for next month as Nyko is releasing a tech that replaces the 2.5 inch hard drive casing with a casing that will work with a 3.5 inch hard drive, that can handle up to 6 Terabytes. I already have a 4 Terabyte SSD hybrid ready. That would be the best bet. My terabyte SSD filled up months ago. Two Terabytes really isn't enough if you play a lot of games.

I purchased the one I got from amazon to go into my son's machine. If it is the same one I purchased then it should work. The seller that bought the drive from was sold by HAUSBELL I hope that this helps.

This HDD works for any game. The storage unit type is irrelevant, as long as the unit is in place and has the required space necessary for installation.

It works in the super slim ps3 I used it in my 250 GB model not sure if it works in the first slim but any new ps3 to date this will work

Yes, this HDD works with the PS3. I bought this for my brother's PS3 and it works really good. I would recomend 1TB if you have alot of games, or planning on buying many games from PS Store.

Should work fine I have the 4GB slim and I added this drive. So far I haven't needed to install any games cause most of mine are older. But I have been installing the free xbox live gold games with no issues. So a game with install should not have a problem with this drive.

Sadly no. The one you're looking at will only work for PSN accounts based on the USA.

depends on the model as the first ones CECHA01 and CECHB01 (30 GB and 60 GB, and the 80GB Gear Metal Solid ed) had an extra chip for backward compatibility with ps and ps2 disks, the next gen did it by software emulation and mostly for some ps2 disks (and no problem with titles directly downloaded from the store) but the slim version and later are not backward compatible. If your old console (I have 3) has on its left side a cover for the memory stick, sd memory card and compact flash reader; and has 4 usb ports, then you can play with no problem your original ps one and 2 disks

I am not an expert or anything but i have a US PS3 and it worked fine. Though I would take Note before buying this that you have a HDTV and HDMI Cord because this game can only be played in 1080p.

My USB drive worked fine. NTFS doesn't work. Fat32 does. The 138931 region code fix worked for me. But I haven't tested with a non-region 1 DVD yet.

It fits. But the PS3 only recognizes 756GB maximum. So might as well get a smaller cheaper drive.

I don't know, I don't own a Playstation 3, but these Value Disc have worked well for my Blu-Ray Movies and data back-up.

The firmware is not on drives but on the controller. What matters is the type drive you need for that controller.

Yes, it should work fine in any ps3. mine is a usa one and it works perfectly. the only issue i had is that i couldnt use all the dlc characters. I asked several people through amazon and other websites and im not sure if it was a problem with the game being region free or with my psn account being a usa one. Nonetheless as far as i know not many people experienced this problem most answers explained that they could use the dlc characters fine

The drive will act exactly as the previous one did no new capabilities that I know of. This is to replace a burned out drive in a nintendo Wii.
