Ripped from slickdeals because i'm lazy
[quote name='MelchiorZ']This is kind of an old deal but I haven't seen it posted around here, (found from NBR & FW).
This drive OEMs at Newegg for about $205 + shipping.
BestBuy has it as an external for $142.99:

You just have to make sure to check the S/N# on the bottom and make sure it starts with DTG, as this indicates its a 7200 rpm drive and not a 5400 one. It's very interesting if you look at the box itself that nowhere it mentions the drive speed, so this looks like it was meant by Hitachi to sell more drives.

Very simple to pop open (2 screws and slide the cover off).
Btw, did I mention this is *THE* absolute fastest HD (besides small capacity SSDs) that you can buy for laptops using 2.5" SATA. The only caveat is that this external drive only has 1 year warranty as opposed to Hitachi's 3 year on it's OEM.
Edit: According to Vaphoron, this is alive again from Sun - Wed for 129.99 before Thanksgiving[/QUOTE]
Picked one of these up yesterday with the 12% off coupon, but that's expired. There is this 10% off coupon still though. Very easy to take out of the external shell (only 2 screws) and very easy to install on the ps3. And voila instant 200GB ps3.
