Detach your HDD drive: warranty not voided
Right about now, the other side of the world is basking under the glorious light of the PS3. It’s already 11-11 in Japan; launch day for the lucky bastards, hehe. So, you can expect a lot of pics and coverage on this. (Y’know, pictures of people unpacking their own PS3 box, videos of people playing the console at home… Stuff that will generally make the rest of the world green with envy.)
So here are pictures of the official PS3 user guide. It’s in Japanese and we can’t quite make head nor tail out of it, but there are a few things worth noting here.
Replaceable SATA HDD: Remember when we showed you guys pics of the HDD drive bay? As you know, it’s detachable and ultimately exchangeable with any 2.5″ SATA HDDs. Sweet. So why not put in a 150GB or 250GB SATA HDD?
Imagine, a PS3 with a 750GB hard drive. English translations would be really helpful so we can know for sure if a beautiful monstrosity like a 750GB PS3 is truly possible.
Warranty: Some of you might be wondering about the warranty. Well, the manual teaches you how to detach and install SATA HDDs. If Sony‘s telling you how to do it, then it’s probably not going to void your warranty. Also, reports coming in from the official PS3 forums say that it won’t void your warranty.
Translations are most definitely welcome here…
