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.

It's been a while since I ordered this, but I *think* it was the bare drive. Can't be sure, but on another note, I wouldn't recommend Seagate. I own a computer repair shop, and we see more Seagate drives crash than any of the other brands combined. Go with a Western Digital!

It's been running strong in my PS4 for 2 weeks now. I was sceptical at first until I noticed that it is the exact same brand of the hard drive that originally comes with the PS4. If you're that worried, do like I did and get the 3 year extended warranty for $17.

I want to preorder too, but want to check it out myself before I do so. Bestbuy, Costco, MS Store will also sell these so I'm sure there's going to be a lot of places to buy it from. Maybe MS Store might offer a student discount, or a cleaner Windows with same price. Costco might have it with some other bundle, maybe a carrying case, or some small accessory, just like how they sell WD Passport external hdd with carrying case bundle. I'm going to be patient because I am very picky person on buying tech stuff, and I hate buying and returning stuff even if it is free.

This drive seems to come into stock and sell out quickly. I waited months to order mine last week. TigerDirect dot com is where I purchased mine. They apprear to still be in stock, and there's a $15 rebate. I received mine in just a few days. Good luck!

I have a 500gb external hard drive and i can install any game on it. But Microsoft only allows you to use 32gb worth of momory out of the 500gb HDD. If i try to download the HD content for bf3 on the 500gb external hard drive am promted with a meassage; you need a xbox 360 hard drive to install this content. So what am asking is will this hard drive allow me to download the HD content or will i need to get an offical microsoft hard drive?. Thats my questuion. Sorry for this mix up!

Hi D. Petitpas,I was wondering if anyone would ever reply to my post. I didn't know that these drives were shipped pre-formated and I don't think that it is listed in it's description here on Amazon. Thank you so very much for setting me straight!

I am having this problem as we speak. Seagate just finished telling me that they believe the power supply is dead, and the warranty department says we need a new one. Unfortunately, they don't have any in stock, and they "don't know" when they will have then again... maybe a month, maybe more. What the HELL am I supposed to do to access my data until then? DO NOT buy this stupid thing. I had maybe 10 hours of use on the power supply before it died. Seagate told me immediately that the problem was the power supply, so they absolutely know this is an issue. GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

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.

It's a typo on Amazon. The drive is SATA III. Hardly any drive are SATA III anymore. Click here -&gt; http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1049&language=1

The label on the hdd says 3.0 gb/sec and 7200 rpm. I've read that the original ps3 hdd was 5400 rpm and a small speed increase can be expected in going to 7200 rpm.

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.

I am not sure, but I can say that the 60GB HDD that I got was a Seagate. I stuck it in my PS3, formatted it and it works great. I figured that for the price, I might as well give it a shot. It is still going strong. I would recommend it if you are looking for a budget HDD for your PS3. I don't know about any of the other HDDs that they sell, only the one I purchased.

Short answer: YESLong answer: Yes, this is the exact drive I currently have in my PS4.

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.

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!

The unit I purchased came with a 500GB HDD. I don't know if it's offered with other options.
