Your hard disk drive (Or HDD) is the equipment that stores all the data on your system. This includes all save data, downloads, and user account on your system. Without an HDD the PS3 could not function properly.

How do you play mass effect 2 without disc 2?

Buy the PlayStation 3 version of the game, it only requires one (1) Blu-Ray disc. You can also buy a digital copy of the game from the PlayStation Store which doesn't require any discs, but does require 12 gigabytes of hard drive space. Another option is to buy the digital version of the game on Windows, such as off Steam. No discs, but it will require a large amount of hard drive space.


Can you put a PS3 game in a Blu-ray player?

One can put a PlayStation 3 game in a Blu-ray Disc player, since the discs have the same physical dimensions. However, PlayStation 3 games have proprietary formatting and require the PlayStation 3 architecture to operate. As such, a regular Blu-ray Disc player/drive will be unable to read the contents of the disc, unless expressly stated by the publisher of the game.
