Post: Damn, I have to switch my ps3 hard drive
12-08-2008, 12:58 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have to switch hard drives because I have a 40gb and I have too much game data on it
I only have about 8gb left and that would probably only be enough for 2 more games
(freaking MGS4 took up almost 10gb!!)

well anyways, is there something I can do to avoid switching hard drives because I don't reallyw ant to waste all that money buying a bigger hard drive(planning to get 160gb).

oh and can i use an external hard drive?

damn, so many questions

if u do swap hardrives make sure u backup all of ur data onto a stoarge device e.g external hdd, Ipod (Video big hdd) else u will lose all of ur data.

Delete the MGS4 Game Data unless you bought something in MGO online.

Its useless to have the MGS4 Game Data unless you haven't finished the game or/and you still play the game.

I deleted my MGS4 Game Data and it gave me my 10 GB back.
