I cant get the 4 screws on the hd bay out. Screws are bit stripped, might have to use a plier to get it off. I called sony and they're sending me a replacement hd bay with 4 screws, maybe i'll just wait until that comes and replace the entire thing including the case.
so will 7200 rpm cause more heat? Does 3.0gb/s vs 1.5gb/s have any effect on the heat? I would like to get a 720 rpm with 3.0gb/s hard drive but not if it'll make the ps3 run hotter than it is now.
You probably should've ordered a HDMI cable along with your bundle, you're not gonna get the full effect playing mgs4 through composite cable on HD tv. You can get a cheap HDMI cable from monoprice.
