[QUOTE="brakel, post: 54342, member: 416"] Its not the model its the version of the PS3 firmware. At a certain point Sony had to change the firmware update so that some of it resided on the HDD. With the old firmware versions you could swap HDD's and just go because the firmware was in persistent memory on the PS3 itself. With the new firmware versions, once you take out the HDD you've taken out a critical part of the firmware. That is why the need to have the firmware on a USB drive. Sony also puts a new version of the firmware on some of their self published games but I think its easier just to download and put it on a USB drive. If you were to put a new HDD on an old fatty today you'd have to do the USB drive firmware update procedure but if you did it a few years ago you did not. [/QUOTE]
