HDD swap?
 

Does anyone know the specs of the compatible hard drives for the PS3 and 360?

And if I would be able to switch the two.... put my 360 HD in my PS3 and vise versa?

my 360 Hard Drive is 3x my PS3's, but my PS3 requires more space for game installations.... such as MGS4...

The swap between the Xbox 360 memory and the Ps3's memory is impossible, but you can change the PS3 one for another one, with up to 500GB, and it as to be one of does the Laptops use, and it's better to use one with 4500rpm, so you don't overheat the PS3.

Does PS3 format a specific way? Same for 360. If they are compatible, why not switch em.

You wont be able to read it, but unless the hard drives have "special" connections there shouldnt be a problem switching up for a higher reading speed.

This is what the PS3 HDD looks like:

It's the same HDD that Laptops use.

I know for a fact that you can not swap out a 360 hard drive with a ps3 hard drive even if you take them apart.

You have two options:

1.You can buy a new SATA 2.5inch hard drive and swap out the old..

2.You can buy a huge 3.5inch 400 gig SATA harddrive and use it as an external...

Note: Make sure they' re SATA 3.0...

Hmm...

Well the 360's looks like they just put it into a fancy case. If you take of the outer shell it should be the same, right?

NEVER DONE!! JUST GESSING HERE FOLKS!!

Whoops, didn't see that reply, sry.

U can also use a regular USB external hard drive, you can use it to store all your movies, music, saved games however you can not play the games installed from the Blu-Ray discs off the USB because of bandwith limitations...

I have a 500 gig external at the moment im gonna get a 1TB internal for the PS3...

They both format in FAT32 however their connections are different and bandwith is different.

If you we' re to put a 360 HDD into a PS3, your ps3 will lag slower than you' re grandma because 360' s don' t install games on the HDD they play them directly off the disk and requires minimal bandwith but higher loading times, plus you' d have a crap ton of wires sticking out of your console, u don' t want that believe me...
