(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My old phat ps3 recenetly died and I ended up getting a used slim ps3, the case however is in pretty rough shape (not too, too bad, but not great) I was looking to buy a replacement housing for my system, however I couldn't find anything besides, clear, stock matte black, and white. Can someone direct me to a site that has better selections? I wouldn't mind a red matte case. thanks


off topic:

from what I understand a ps3's hdd cannot be read on a computer or a different ps3 since it will format the data, is this correct? I wanted to extract my save games from old HDD. my broken ps3 is beyond repairable so i can't use that for extraction.

Uh sience when did they make red cases? You could get a black one or send your old one to colorwarepc.com and they will make it red

To your off topic you don't have to reformat the hdd, there is a trick that makes the drive not reformat. Ill try to find the tutorial.

thanks, for most video game systems they have third party cases ranging in a bunch of colours. so I assumed there would be a red case housing for ps3 slim.

did you try this trick yourself? I've tried several times now without any success, just asks to check the HDD when I swap it, also the checking for update message is too fast. I'm going to try getting a second hdd tray from my friends slim to see if I can do it quicker. thanks anway

I have not done it but there are alot of people in that thread that has.

youll be fine

buy a black and white and spray paint it add cool designs by cutting out shapes of paper putting them on all over it and psraypainting over :carling:
