I recently decided to upgrade my Playstation 3 hard drive just for the fun of it. I had an original 40GB model and bought a 250GB replacement on Newegg. If I had known it was so easy to upgrade the hard drive, I would have probably done it a while ago since I like messing with computers and hardware.
The new Gran Turismo 5 Demo was released this week. The demo allows to you test your racing skills against the rest of the world with a time trial. The demo provides a single track and the option to race in a tuned or stock 350z.
If you have played past Gran Turismo games, the time trial is a continuous race against yourself to see how fast of a lap you can run. Each lap provides a ghost car of your previous run. After each lap your time is posted online and you are ranked against other players.
I came across this awesome set of Street Fighter II sound clips. If you are in a retro type of mood, check the sound clips out, Street Fighter II Sound Clips.
It seems Sony’s recent incarnation of the PS3 is a big hit in America. Combined with the $100 price drop and 120GB hard drive upgrade, the PS3 slim is a bargain compared to previous PS3 versions.
Check out this video showing off the new PS3 slim releasing September 1st in North America. The PS3 slim is 33% smaller, 36% lighter, and comes with a 120GB hard drive.
