Title: PlayStation 3 Hard Drive Question Post by: ReddMcKnight on July 08, 2012, 07:18:20 PM Hey all. Well, my Fat PS3 finally kicked the bucket, and I could not be more upset. Anyway, I wanna replace it with a Slim Model, which brings me to my question: Will the Hard Drive from my fat one work in a slim one?

There is an option under Settings to back up your harddrive to an external source. But like noise said, all of your games/movies/videos/etc. are tied to your PSN account, so you can always redownload those.

I tried the Blowdryer trick as a last act of desperation and to my amazment it worked. Let see how long this fix lasts.

If that "trick" isn't a permanent fix it could be only a matter of time until it breaks again. |
