    Nah just need a standard philips with a small head. You'll get a half decent 250Gb for around 75 on komplett, or 320Gb for an extra 3 quid. Make sure you've a half decent ext drive to back it up.

    I bought this one for 67.50 + postage off memoryc.com

    Got it today. After installing it, it was a 2 min format then 40 min restore of backup.

    Now I can sort my TV shows on ps3 rather then having laptop on stream them to it.

    Games also save huge files onto the ps3 i checked mine one day and had over 25gbs of stuff from old games i had traded in months ago. Clean that up and it might buy you a little bit more space untill you get your new drive in.

    Delete Home if you already haven't :)

    If you have Fallout 3 or oblivion check the save files. I raked up Gb's of save files on Fallout 3 on the 360 already.

    i ordered a 320gb there and will probably get it (fingers crossed) monday or tuesday and i know its been asked a gazillion times but was wondering what i will have to do to my ext. hdd to get all my ps3 files safely onto it? and also what kind of screw driver to use to remove the old ps3 hdd cos a mate of mine completely ruined the screws on his

    I got the blue screw out fine last night & 1 of the interior screws eventually came out. I wrecked the next screw, so a mate is calling over with small screwdrivers to see if there a better fit. Metal of screws is so weak its a joke.
    Unless screwdriver fits snugly DONT try it, youll thrash the screws.
    Gonna have to drill or try a pliers at the wrecked screw
