How to Upgrade a Playstation 3 Game Console

Hello my name is Tony Ramirez from Tampa Florida and on behalf of Expert Village these are the optional uses of a playstation 3. Not just playing video games, this is a lot cooler. Ok. So let?s say you bought yourself a twenty gig and you want to upgrade. Or the sixty or the eighty. The playstation 3 currently is able to handle hard drives as big as two hundred and fifty gigs. This is great if you want to add more video content, music, download games, movie trailers, whatever it is. And this is very simple. Compared to any of the other systems it's really easy to do. The one thing you want to do is you get a flathead screwdriver, fairly small. Put it in this little notch right here on the side of your playstation 3. Knocks the little door off. Really, really simple. Now with a philips head screwdriver. You go ahead, now with the blue screw, untighten it. Like I said this is very simple. Once you've got your little blue screw out. There?s a little notch here, little metal clip. You go ahead and pull that out. Push the drive, you'll see that there's an arrow facing, that'd be to your left. So now you want to push it to the right. Hear a little click. And pull the drive towards you. And it's really that simple. So just like that, you?re going to have the drive. You can replace it; just unscrew these two screws here. Put a brand new drive. Slide it right back in. Give it a little push. Little slide to the left. Just like that you?re reconnected. Put your blue screw. Snap in your cover and you've just upgraded your hard drive all the way up to two hundred and fifty gigs. Pretty cool.
