[QUOTE="Tabe, post: 146041, member: 342"] Swapping a hard drive on the PS3, as mentioned is incredibly easy. If you have an external USB drive big enough, I recommend using the backup and restore utilities. You do the backup - make sure your drive is FAT32 formatted!- to the external. Swap in the new hard drive. Download the required stuff to a USB stick. Put in the stick. Run that process. Restore from the USB had drive. Boom done. No re-downloading, no lost save files, no nothing. Yes, it's very slow, but it was worth it for me. I just set it to to do that backup while I was at work and then did the restore overnight. [/QUOTE]
