Will it work on any type of ps3? I just got the super slim 12GB version so I'm looking to upgrade.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my boyfriend who has a ps3 slim and ir did not work.

I have the original PS3, memory card ports and ps2 backwards compatibility and all. It'll work

I just upgraded my 12GB Super Slim. Yes, it does work. As mentioned, you will need the mounting bracket.

Yes. I just did the same thing. Works fine, but you need to get the housing unit, as otherwise it won't attach properly. They are about $6. They should be suggested by Amazon

The short answer is, yes, it will. The PS3 uses a Serial ATA for the sixty gigabite drive that default modle came with. The longer answer is, yes, but its kinda overkill: the PlayStation has a max disk I/O of `bout 3 Mb and this disk will support up to 6 Mb. You could probably find one cheaper (look for a SATA II) `round here; but this should work too. As far as replacing the disk itself, check out this Gamespot article: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-upgrade-your-playstation-3-hard-drive/1100-6176090/ as it seems to cover all the basics.

I too have a suoer slim 500 gb. Playstation 3. I rarely encountered any framerate issues. a couple of times when things got really crazy but not enough to take away from the fun I had playing the game.

It is a 12.9 mm as in 2.5 inch, and it will work for the PS3 and PS4 but you are going to have to go to us.playstation.com to download the update onto a USB thumbdrive or media card ( SD, Compact, etc ) on your PC,MAC or Laptop. It is easy,LMR!

It has worked without any problems for the PS3, XBOX 360 and XBOX one for me. It has been very transparent since I installed it as well.

It does fit in a PS3 slim with a very slight modification to the HD caddy. I installed it about a month ago with no problems at all.

Even I am looking for a similar answer. Please let me know if this or some other one that particularly works with PS3. Thanks

I installed this into mine. It is the old version with the PS2 backwards compatibility. It has worked flawlessly for a couple months now.

I bought the PS3 like 2 years ago. I believe that the slim version is the most trustable PS3 models. I've run heavy games like skyrim and GTA5 and haven't had any issues. Proper cleaning and ventilation is required in order to keep the console in good conditions since over heating may be given.

I will let you know when I get mine on Tuesday, April 10th. One of the reviewers states that it does work with the PS3 with firmware release 1.60 and without the USB BlueTooth adapter.

If your're talking about the Super Slim then ya it works. I highly doubt it works on previous models.

Yes it can even play ps1 games, Thats why I bought it. It has worked great for over a year now and the only downside i see is its a bit clunky but thats what you get for having a ps3 and ps2 in one console. P.s from what I understand the 20gb 40gb and 60gb are officially reverse compatible and the 80gb and 160 gb are "sometimes" reverse compatible and are specifically mentioned if they are.

Yes it should work on all ps3 games. I have played borderlands 2, tomb raider, and max payne 3 with it.

Yes, this hard drive will work on the original PS3. Be aware, even though it does not say it, the drive is refurbished.

Yes it will work with a PS3 I have over 125 Games installed on my PS3 and love having access to all these games with out having to change the disc. Also PS+ will help in filling your Hard Drive if you don't have it yet.

It's pretty awesome. There's no deficiencies and no haziness while playing on my PS4. Everything looks crystal clear and it should work find on the PS3 as well. Let me know how it goes for you!
