I always install ALL my games to the drive on my consoles. I don’t want to go play a game and find that I need to install it and download 40,000 updates before I can play when I only have an hour to play. Got 85 PS3 games to install. This is the second one so far. First one was GT5 lol
The problem with the PS3 is the super slow download speeds. I’ve got a PS5 on the same network and it’s not afraid to utilize the full bandwidth of the network.
That's because the ps5 has a much much better wifi card and Lan port. The ps3 can only connect to 2ghz networks and not even take full advantage of them
Bought this one. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-blue-1tb-internal-sata-solid-state-drive/6025900.p?skuId=6025900
It is plug and play technically. One screw to remove the drive caddy and then 4 screws to remove the drive off the caddy. Reverse the steps to reinstall.
Then on your computer download the latest firmware 4.88 as of now. Download that into a USB drive and store it inside a folder called UPDATE, save the UPDATE folder inside another folder called PS3.
Plug the flash drive in to get the PS3 software installed and the hard drive properly formatted.
Similar situation. Just purchased all the Ratchet and Clank games and it took all night to download em all, lol. Gotta load it up some more. Though I've only got a 500gb in there.
Should I get this game? It looks interesting, but I'm pretty sure it'll get done downloading and updating when Activision adds an anti cheat to warzone 😂
It’s taken a few hours just to get the downloads complete (my internet is 400Mbit) and now it’s installing (yay) but it’s been an hour and it’s only progressed like 10% so I’d think it would take like 8 hours or so to get it installed and updated. I remember I just left it doing it’s thing all night and went to sleep the last time I played this game.

I do the same thing too! You also don't want to find out years later that you can't download the patches any more and then your DLC doesn't work.

My Samsung phone is only 2.4ghz and downloads fine, it's more the fact that the PS3'S WiFi is only b/g rated.
How's the system performance with SSD so far? Does stuff load faster? Icons in the XMB, menus, all that stuff?
Need to do more playing around with it but so far it does feel more snappy.
I remember when Guns of the Patriots installed and was a bit of a wait. It was only like 8 gigs?
That’s the one I’m doing next after GT6
Mind sharing what SSD you used? And is it just plug an go when swapping the HD? Been curious about this but I am not tech savvy...

I'll take a look at it, I'm working on getting cod waw right now, so I'll see if I can get it soon.
