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.

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

I believe it is possible to use with a PS system. check and match with your current HD before buying and getting screwed.

Sorry friend, no backwards compstibility, I'm afraid. Use the PS store/Amazon to get your fix. PS1 digital downloads are cheap and there are HD remasters of old PS2 games available for the PS3. Happy gaming!

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.

No, not as far as I know. This is an HD meant for Deskstops, I really doubt it will fit in your PS3/4.

I too have a suoer slim 500 gb. Playstation 3. I rarely encountered any framerate issues. a couple of times when things got really crazy but not enough to take away from the fun I had playing the game.

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.

Actually the ps3 games can not be downloaded directly to an external disk. Even if you do, probably the file system can not handle it. I suggest you try it with another external drive before buying this.

Yes! As long as you can unscrew the Harddrive that is currently in your ps3. I dropped a 500gb in fat ps3 I have but then bought a ps4 :( wasting money lolDon't forget to get your games off for the new drive. I recommend a 32gb flash drive!

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

If you are going to get a 2.5 drive, go with the 6.0mbps transfer rate!! or you will not get the full functionallity that comes with having the solid state portion of the drive. It requires you to be able to set the drive up as ACHI in the BIOS, or else it will just function like any other 3.0mbps hard drive. I have 3 Seagate 500 Hybrids in a raid with each drive partitioned in half. giving me a theoretical 6 drives at 250 gb per drive. I like having my games on their own partitions, for faster read times, and my startups are under 2 mins.

I would say this is an internal error and that the hard drive will be fine. Before playing your next game install to your console.

Yes, it's the correct kind of drive for the PS4. However this drive is a 5400 RPM drive, and you'd get better performance from your PS4 if you use a 7200 RPM drive like the HGST Travelstar 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, also available here on amazon.com for $79.99. The amazon page is at this link:HGST Travelstar 0S03563 1TB SATA Hard Drive KitGood luck!

Please remember that IF the hard drive is USED, then chances are that you would HAVE to format it FOR the PS3. It is QUITE simple. The PS3 has a format utility built into it. You can only use the Format of FAT32, as the PS3 doesn't recognize drives that are formatted using NTFS. If the hard drive is NEW< then it is usually pre-formatted already. To make things EASIER, you can format the drive using Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 or Win 8.1. ALL of those operating Systems have the "Command" prompt. Good hunting!!!! ^_^
