The PS3 uses a laptop hard drive, so you have to buy a laptop hard drive and then remove the PS3's hard drive from its compartment and put in the new one. I believe its an SATA drive which deliver faster read/write times and have better safety featues than the standard EIDE drives of the past. Although the latter is still more common in vendor manufactered PCs (Dell, Hp, eMachines, etc.)

It can be done. Try youtube, there you may fing HowTo video to adapt a bigger hard drive. Note: the hard disk has to be that of a laptop 2.5" On eBay you may find some cheap one, or if you have a notebook with 2 hard disk, they take one and put it to the PS3.
Do it at your own risk, and may sure that the disk you take from a laptop is not the one with the operative system.

From what i know the ps3 has a computer hard drive so alot of hard drives are compatible. If you take your hard drive that you have now to a store like bestbuy, and ask them to get u one like that but with more capacity I'm sure they will.

You get a SATA hard drive and then just remove the PS3's hard drive and stick in your SATA hard drive.
