Anyone else here still use a fat PS3 ??

I might try a 640GB Toshiba MK6475GSX

with quiet acoustics and enhanced durability, providing a solid storage solution for mobile and stationary PCs, game consoles

Will a 9.5mm drive fit in a FAT PS3 or does it need to be a 7mm harddrive ?? :confused:

80gb fatty here. My second one though as the first one's blu-ray drive died 6 months after I bought it so Sony sent this replacement. It makes a hell of a lot of noise though but can't really justify buying a slim.

My 60gb launch day fat still going strong

NeoReloaded · 26 Jan 2013 at 16:17

40gb fatty here

MofoKilla · 26 Jan 2013 at 16:53

Yup, 40GB GTA4 Package when it came out. I've chucked a 80Gb drive in tho. Only gets used now to play films for the Mrs. My Pc is for the real gaming

I still have a jap import 60gb from the first month of release (actually going to sell it now) plays ps1/2 games as well unlike the newer ones (yer missus had a massive catalogue of Sing stars crap on the Ps2

). Although it's not as heavily used as the 360/pc it' still had some fair use on it.

60gb release day model for me.

OpenToSuggestions · 26 Jan 2013 at 18:33

I have a 60GB one and it works fine.

Bloody noisy though.

Probably just needs the fans cleaning.

buckeejit · 26 Jan 2013 at 19:43

Have had it almost 6 years and it's still working fine.

I have the original 60GB one from the day it came out.

Same here, main use is for media streaming and blu ray now, although it sounds like a hoover lol.

Yup 80GB fatty, still going strong with no concerns. Bit noisy mind

Yungstar 2006 · 26 Jan 2013 at 21:47

60gb phat but now with a 250gb out of my 360 slim.

GolfBryan · 26 Jan 2013 at 23:53

80GB phat with 320GB drive fitted. Can't remember the last time I played a game on it, mainly used for Play TV.

40gb fat here thought it's got a 500gb in it now. Probably only got about 60 hours playtime on it so a long way from breaking I hope! Only play exclusives on it, everything else is 360.

Same as me although I had to replace my BD drive last summer, it's mostly a media device for me atm though, netflix .etc

Tibbz2 · 27 Jan 2013 at 11:05

Old 80GB with a new 250GB HDD, still going strong!

wingman · 27 Jan 2013 at 11:55

Bought an original PS3 60GB phat from eBay the other day, in excellent condition. It has had an HDD upgrade to ~120GB. Bought it because I wanted a Blu-Ray, a PS2 player and for the PS Store. Bought PS+ too, it appears to be a great service.

Doug · 29 Jan 2013 at 16:54

Yup, hasn't died yet so no need to replace it, not that it gets much use other than Blu-Rays.

Can't for the life of me remember if it's 40GB or 80GB though

[goes to check emails] It's an 80GB, bought in September '08

Anyone else here still use a fat PS3 ??
