The first version of the Playstation 3 has a 20GB hard drive, but this version is now discontinued by Sony. Other available units are 40GB, 60GB, and 80GB. The huge hard drive space is needed to save game play, download updates, music files, and also for saving files while surfing the internet either via ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.

For people who spend long hours playing video games, it may seem that a small hard disk space may not be enough; hence there is a need to upgrade the hard drive. Sony has designed the PS3 console so that it will be easy for users to perform their own upgrades. In fact, the user manual has easy-to-follow instructions on how to remove and replace the hard drive on the Playstation 3.

First, you have to be sure of the specs of the hard drive you will be getting. The Playstation 3 has a 2.5 inch Serial Advance Technology Attachment (SATA) hard drive, which is what is commonly used in notebook or laptop computers. If you are not familiar with these types of hard drives, you can always ask with your computer shop for this information. Some examples of available hard drive capacities are 120GB, 160GB, and 250GB, to name a few. For people who take gaming to the extremes, bigger memory is always better.

Once you have picked out a new hard drive of your playstation 3, you will want to back up your system. You can perform this task with an easy to use Back Up Utility under System Settings.

After you have backed up all the system data, you are ready to replace your Playstation 3 hard drive. You need to remove your old hard drive from your Playstation 3 console. Before you do that, you must switch off your PS3, and unplug all cords and attachments. On the left side of the console, you should take out the plastic cover that has the HDD label. Using a small crosshead screwdriver, remove the blue screw and raise the metal handle. Slide the hard disk to the right and pull out the hard disk from the PS3 console. Handle the hard disk using the metal frame, and avoid getting it wet or dropping it.

You have to take out the old hard disk from the metal frame by removing the four crosshead screws. After you have done this, you can slide the hard disk out. When you place in the new hard disk, reattach the four screws, and be sure not to over tighten them. Replace the new hard disk and the metal frame back into the console slot, return the blue screw and close the plastic cover.

If you switch on your unit, you will be prompted if you want to restore any data that you have backed up. Now, all you have to do is enjoy your new improved hard drive on your PS3!

On March 25, 2008, Dark Sector was released for both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. For fans of action games and RPG, this is a perfect challenge for you. Dark Sector is reminiscent and comparable to Resident Evil and Metal Gear fame, and was developed by Digital Extremes. Dark Sector is granted by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) an M for mature. The Blu-Ray disc of the game retails for around $55 to $60 at video game shops for PS3.

The story of Dark Sector revolves on a world that has been massively destroyed by biological weapons. The unsuspecting human population falls victim to weapons out of control, and it is up to the hero of the game, Hayden Tenno to battle it out and solve the huge dilemma. Hayden Tenno is an agent from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and is strangely afflicted with congenital analgia. The health condition prevents Hayden from feeling any pain, which is a perfect quality if you want a hero that is tenacious and can last for long hours of game play.

While on a mission from the government, Hayden suddenly becomes exposed to a biological mutagen, which affects his body by transforming his right arm completely. This gives the hero the ability to change his arm into a weapon called a glaive, which looks like a three-bladed boomerang. This serves as his primary weapon, which he wields and returns to him after every attack. The glaive is also used to grab elemental items like earth and fire which help solve environmental puzzles to help the character get through. The glaive, is actually like a Swiss Army Knife, as it can also unlock doors, crack open boxes or crates, aside from its obvious killing function.

The enemies in Dark Sector range from metal monsters, soldiers, and infected humans. Since one of the hottest features of the Playstation 3 console is the ability to communicate with other players through the internet, and this is an awesome asset for those who want to make the most of their Dark Sector experience. If you want to play in multiplayer mode, you can go in teams and battle it out. Or from a set of players, a random Hayden will be selected per round, who will have to go against all other players.

For players who want an action-packed experience, then Dark Sector is a good game to get. The controls are not difficult to master, and the puzzles and coded levels are really brain twisters. If you already know how to get through games like this, then Dark Sector will be a fun-filled experience for you.
