Time to upsize your PS3s HDD - free stuff on PSN (PS+)
- Thread starter Npl
- Start date
I don't have room on my 120gb hdd for all the free stuff from ps+ this month.
Just dropped those, amongst others, free games in my basket:
Motorstorm Apocalypse
inFamous 2
Little Big Planet 2
Wow, 3 ace titles, even somewhat recent for free.
Guess I cant hold off buying a bigger HDD any longer, the shuffling around with 40GB gets tedious.
What do you mean by free games ? PS+ only ? EU or US ?
Yeah, PS+ onle, and in EU. Think US will have sometning similar
As long as you keep your subscription going.
Just got a discount code for Hydrophobia. Buy it for £1.19, so I'm downloading it now (1.8Gb)
IMHO, i2 DLC (The vampire one) is better than the regular i1 and i2 campaigns. I enjoyed it quite a bit despite it being just a side story. Perhaps it's because the experience is more condensed and less "draggy".

Yeah InFamous games are soooos good.
it's a bit of a bummer for me as i've bought almost all these games already, but i guess its still nice to have digital versions of them I can d/l to my HDD.
I think I'm seriously gonna have to think about upgrading my HDD again though, as my 320GB one has only 20GB free. Some of the games are like 15-20GB d/l, so I think I'm gonna look for a compatible terrabyte drive.

Deus Ex 3: HR is AMAZING!
Protips though... expand your inventory to max as early as you can.
Also, even if you want to be a non-lethal stealth dude. Make sure you carry a powerful lethal weapon with you (e.g. SMG or shotgun etc) and ammo.
I made this mistake when getting to the first boss and the game nearly became nigh on impossible to progress. I just managed to fluke through him in some stroke of serendipitous luck.
In the words of Boris Johnson on the London underground, "... don't get caught out!"

There is a size limitation, at least there was one. I'm not sure if it's still there. A quick search shows people who have successfully upgraded to 500 GB and 750 GB.
There aren't that many hot 2.5" drives, but heat is the only factor. The hotter your drive, the harder your fan will have to work. If you have a Slim though I don't think there's any 2.5" harddrives that can run too hot, the chance of your PS3 making more noise has to be weighed against how important you find speed. There are 7200rpm drives out there obviously so they'd be faster, and also 1TB and beyond works apparently. There are plenty of threads out there with tips. I used PS+ to backup the digital saves I wanted and started clean the second time, because while backup restore works (though it can be very slow sometimes - some people thought theirs had faulted out, but it could stop progressing a single percent for hours, and then start moving again). But I liked to start fresh and have no regrets. Fills up fast enough again.
