PS3s were designed to take the standard laptop size harddrive . The PS3 system hard disk drive (HDD) is removable and upgradeable. Amazon has a PS3 160 GB Hard Drive Upgrade Kit for $68.99 see related link. However you do not need to purchase a special PS3 harddrive and can purchase any laptop Harddrive over the internet or from stores like Best Buy. I have added, Can I upgrade the hard disk drive (HDD) inside my PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system? from the Playstation knowledge Center as a related link to assist you after you have found and purchased your harddrive.
