New Guide: Upgrading your PS3 hard drive

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 17 Aug 2008 20:58 User comments (2)

We have published a new guide today that we hope will teach our users how to upgrade their Sony PlayStation 3 hard drive to a higher capacity drive.

The guide will lead you from purchasing a new drive, to backing up your current drive and finally installing the new drive and all post-installation processes such as formatting the drive and restoring all your game save data.

If you are a PS3 owner and want to upgrade your hard drive, please check the guide out here at AfterDawn at: How to upgrade your PlayStation 3 Hard Drive

Also in store is a guide on how to use a partition on your drive to install an alternate OS, YDL or Ubuntu.
