With your considerable knowledge (but no experience) would you recommend (I won't blame you in the slightest if you're wrong, I'll just send it back to amazon if it doesnt work).
hmm...I haven't looked yet Nick, but found this much more detailed step by step guide on doing it which you will need:

Upgrading Your PS3 Hard Drive for More Storage Space - How to Upgrade Your PS3 Hard Drive

You basically need a Notebook SATA Hard Drive that runs at 5400 rpm (thats the speed of the existing PS3 drive, its assumed the PS3 firmware doesn't support faster drives). As for size, the author of the tutorial used 160Gb.

Here's a few on Dabs to give you an idea of cost:

Cheers Mr Weeks. I'll do my best to fuck up everything.

You'll wanna get some idea when Amazon plan to release it Nick, as the pre-order will sell out in no time. Get that browser window open, install this in Firefox and away you go.

Re: GTA

Two Weeks Today Lads!!

Is it acceptable for me to go to tesco's at 6am to buy it before everyone else? Or maybe go into town at midnight if somewhere opens to sell it?

Re: GTA

I pre-ordered a month ago from Amazon. If it doesn't arrive on launch day I'm going to go apoplectic, and write them a polite email asking them why it hasn't arrived. I've got a job interview on Friday, and I'm hoping that, if I get it, they will say the job starts mid May so I can live in Liberty City for a few weeks. I'd say that's worse than getting up at 6am on launch day.

The PS3 userbase is nowhere near that of the PS2 when San Andreas was released. I'm hoping availability won't be a problem.

Likewise I was assuming you had PS3! It might sell out quite quickly on the 360, wouldn't have thought so on PS3 though.

Aye hope not, it would be a shame for people to miss out on such a momentous occasion.

Re: GTA

OXM gave it 10/10 and didn't have one bad thing to say about it.

It won't sell out either, SA sold a million copies in about a week in the UK and there were still plenty of copies left.

Re: GTA

Because they consider it the "true" sequel to GTA3, while Vice City and San Andreas were "only" expansions.
