Title: just got hit by YLOD on ps3
Post by: deano_ue on February 01, 2011, 04:01:39 PM
ok my 60gb ps3 i got back in 2007 has now YLOD. i'm resigned to my fate of either having to play to repair it and take the chance of it happening again or get a new one

but my question is what about my saved games i know downloads/psn and trophies are fine i can get them again

but i upgraded the HDD on it about a year and a half ago can i not just take out that and put it in the new ps3 and keep playing??

i'm just ticked off right now

I believe PS3 hard drives are transferable.  My brother says you can put any SATA hard drive into a PS3.

Yep.  It's not quite as common as the RROD, but it happens.

Yep, you can use any laptop sized SATA hard drive in a PS3. I'm guessing you should be able to swap out the drive with your old one since it came from the same system without having to reformat it. I could be wrong but thats my guess. It won't hurt it try.

I'd guess that wouldn't be the case for a drive from a different PS3... but once again don't know for sure.
