Upgrading/Replacing my PS3 HDD

November 21, 2009 // 4 Comments »

I figured that it was time to upgrade my 40GB HDD to one with a larger capacity.  Bought myself a Western Digital 320GB 5400RPM as the replacement.

Before I took it out, I lastly synced my trophies to the server and backed up my system.

How to remove EB Games’ sticker

July 19, 2009 // 5 Comments »

What I hate about buying games from EB Games is the stupid price sticker they stick on the cover of the game.  I even hate how they always gut their games, even new copies.  Meaning that they take the games out and store them into CD sleeves.  Funny thing is that I haven’t supported any developers for the PS3 since I get all my games used or off eBay.

Nonetheless, I am a collector and I still want my games to look just as new.  Over time from buying pre-owned games from EB, I have slowly found a better way to take off the sticker without damaging the case.  Today’s demonstration will be on BioShock.  I recently bought this game from a local classifieds ad for $20.  Don’t let the sticker fool you.  No way I paid $39.99 when the retail price of the game is now $29.99.  I also just finished this game.  I got to say that this is such an awesome game.   I heard a rumour that it will be for $10 next week for EB daily door crasher sale.  I will be so sad when I could have waited for a couple more days to get it for half the price I bought it for.  Also, I need to upgrade my PS3 HDD soon.

For this demonstration, I used my nendoroids to guide you through.  If they can do it, so can you!  That sounded so cheesy.  Credits to fellow comrade Kodomut for being creative with nendoroids.  You should check them out.

Ugly EB stickers make Pastel Ink and Saber Lion cry!  How dare they!!
