[QUOTE="heddhunter, post: 130205, member: 1318"] As the others have said you can use PS+ cloud save to backup your data, or a USB stick. Don't use the data transfer utility, it is incredibly slow. You WILL need a USB stick to install the PS3 operating system on the new drive so you might as well go that route. Also, don't pay someone else to put a new drive in your PS3. I just did it myself and it is ludicrously simple. You'll need two philips screwdrivers and about 5 minutes. There are tons of videos/webpages around showing how to do it. I bought a really swish 1TB drive but I didn't need to - the PS3 HDD access is slow and there's nothing you can do about it. [/QUOTE]
