Upgraded My PS3

Today I finally upgraded my Sony PS 3. I've been meaning to do it for months, but just hadn't. Sony's free welcome back ends this weekend and I didn't have enough room to install any new downloaded games. My PS 3 only had a 40 gig drive. Way too small! Earlier this year I upgraded my notebook to a 1 Tara byte drive from my previous upgrade of 500 gb drive. That left me with a very fast notebook drive with no home. Since the PS 3 uses the same type of drive it was an easy decision. Just had to make the time.

The process was easy. I backed up my existing drive in about an hour, popped out that drive and replaced with my old notebook drive. A quick format and it was ready for a restore. That took another hour and I was done.

Now I have a 7200 rpm 500gb hard drive in my PS 3. They should last me a nice long time. I've even downloaded my two free games. Not a bad upgrade FOR FREE!

Time to play a little WipeOut HD or Infamous; or maybe just Black Ops.

Moxie Mo - 3D Gaming Without Split Screen

PS3 TVI enjoy gaming and have played a few 3D games, and I have to say it's pretty cool. What I really like to do though is play with a friend or my daughter. The problem though, even on my 55" TV is that I only get 50% of the screen. It's strange to see just half the screen and I'm distracted by the other half. This new TV from Sony solves that problem. Take a look at the article and let me know what you think over on the Moxie Mo Show Blog.
