Easy enough packaging. If you know what you're doing with this, it's completely ready for usage. Works great in my PS3 with no problems what-so-ever.

This drive is working nicely in my PS3. It was a bit of a pain to get the correct driver from Sony.

Any BEVS series HDD over 120gb will work w/ the xbox 360. It's been working fine for over a month now. I'm hoping when MS increases the capacity of HDDs on 360 that I'll be able to use the rest of the HDD space.

I place an order for this product, then a few days later received an e-mail stating my order was canceled. There was NO reason given and worse.there is no contact information at all.anywhere to get a hold of Amazon. I am so frustrated, I am going to reconsider buying from them again.

The only big concerns in changing a PS3's hard drive is being careful with the screws (they're in there tight and have been known to strip, so press down on them hard while unscrewing), saving game save files and whatnot ahead of time (something as small as a USB flash drive will do), and having the PS3 system software (which can be downloaded off the PS3's web site to a USB flash drive as well) available to use in the formatting process. A very capable drive that's been a success so far. I upgraded my Playstation 3 from 40 gigs to 250 gigs (232 after everything was formatted) so as to provide more room for game data and videos without the worry of running out of room. The 2.5 inch size of the disc is the norm here; fits perfectly. So with just a little bit of simple handiwork and no concern for aesthetics, you can buy this drive for 1/5 the price of the new PS3 Slim and in turn get more memory than Slim's own 120-gig drive.
