Hmmmm I highly doubt it will be working properley to be honest. Surely Sony wouldnt allow you to just plug any old Hard Drive into the PS3! if they do then the modding scene im sure will have a field day with this just like they did when they sussed out the HD Conectivity you could use with the PS2 and any old PC hard drive :)

Hence why he has made a makeshift adaptor so that he can use a normal sized PC one...

The thing is why did they protect you from using any old PC hard drive in the original PS2 and yet they wont do on PS3? You have to use 3rd party software e.g. HD Loader in order to get the PC Hard Drive to work in the PS2.

Im sure that will soon be cracked... anywayz :) sorry for going off topic this is for the Xbox 360 :)

Sorry yuyazan, only the official drive will work for game saves. It uses a unique partitioning and encryption system, so you do need it.

It's been one year exactly since the Xbox 360 launched in the United States, and since then Microsoft exec's have been hinting on a "huge" feature that the Xbox 360 would unlock exactly 1 year after release. Well most of us thought it was the recent system update that enabled 1080p for all media, apparently it isn't. A Teamxbox Editor has recently made a post on their forums stating that they would have the "huge announcement" up and ready by 2am Pacific(9pm EST).

What could this be? TeamXbox are reassuring people that this announcement will not be disappointing, stay tuned.

UPDATE:

Apparently, it has something to do with Halo

I'm thinking the release date?

Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta Announced!

Ever since the game was first officially announced at Microsoft's E3 Press Conference this year, the public has been clamoring for any news about Halo 3. We've waited patiently as Bungie and Microsoft planned their attack, hoping for just a crumb of information. Now, on the fifth anniversary of the first game's release, the companies sent out a press release with enough information to keep even the most rabid happy for months to come (OK, maybe just for a few minutes).

Players from around the world will be able to take part in an open beta of the game's multiplayer mode, helping to iron out any bugs in the network code, while at the same time getting a glorious taste of what's sure to be 2007's hottest multiplayer action. In addition, Xbox 360 owners will be able to download exclusive content for Halo 2, the game that's still tearing up the Xbox Live charts two years after its release. Finally, they announced that a 60 second ad will appear during December 4th's airing of ESPN's "Monday Night Football."

Be sure to read the press release below for the complete details. See you in the multiplayer beta!

Bungie Studios Prepares “Halo” Nation to Finish the Fight

Groundbreaking worldwide “Halo 3” public beta and “Halo 2” maps exclusively for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 coming in spring; first “Halo 3” TV ad coming this December.

REDMOND, Wash. — Nov. 15, 2006 — On the fifth anniversary of the release of the landmark Xbox® video game “Halo®,” Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today celebrated the milestone by announcing an exclusive hands-on experience with “Halo 3,” one of the industry’s most anticipated sequels. The Xbox Live® multiplayer public beta, which is a pre-release version of the multiplayer experience of “Halo 3,” is scheduled for availability in spring 2007 exclusively on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system.

In addition, Microsoft and Bungie confirmed today that consumers will be able to experience the “Halo” universe this holiday season through a one-time airing of a stirring, 60-second “Halo 3” teaser ad. And finally it was announced that the new, premium downloadable content for “Halo 2,” exclusive to Xbox 360, is scheduled for release in spring 2007.

“The ‘Halo’ Nation has a nearly insatiable desire,” said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of global marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft Corp. “We hope a taste of advance ‘Halo 3’ gameplay satisfies some of their appetite as we count down to the game’s launch later in 2007.”

Expanding on everything that has made the “Halo” franchise so widely recognized, the final version of “Halo 3” will provide a wealth of technical and gameplay advancements, available only through Xbox 360, the leading next-generation video game entertainment system. Via the Xbox Live multiplayer public beta, a first of its kind for the “Halo” franchise, gamers will be able to play online via Microsoft’s premier online entertainment network and participate in a pre-release version of the multiplayer experience of “Halo 3.” This beta also represents an opportunity for gamers worldwide to participate in the development of “Halo 3.” Through the resulting feedback, Bungie Studios will be able to further refine and hone the end result of “Halo 3.”

Unveiled earlier this year at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, “Halo 3” represents the third chapter in the “Halo” trilogy, an international award-winning action series that grew into a global entertainment phenomenon, selling more than 14.7 million units worldwide, which equals nearly $700 million in sales, and logging in excess of 800 million hours of multiplayer action on Xbox Live.

On Dec. 4, the special 60-second “Halo 3” advertising spot will be broadcast, one time only, on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.” The ad, created by advertising agency McCann Erickson, will provide viewers with a unique and compelling look at Master Chief and the world of “Halo 3.” It is easily one of the most anticipated ads of the year and promises to be the biggest event in appointment advertising this year. It underscores the innovative approach and driving influence the “Halo” franchise has commanded. The television spot will also be available for download exclusively for Xbox 360 users via Xbox Live Marketplace.

In addition, gamers who have jumped in to Xbox 360 will be able to join legions of Xbox fans next spring in all-new multiplayer maps for “Halo 2” available for download through Xbox Live Marketplace. The exclusive “Halo 2” content will bring new experiences and excitement to the seminal sequel that made entertainment retail history in its first 24 hours — with $125 million in sales — and that boasts more than four billion online matches since its release in November 2004.

“Since its original release, ‘Halo 2’ has redefined online play, delivering superior multiplayer capabilities in addition to an incredible social experience, and nurturing a constantly growing community through Xbox Live,” said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios. “After five years of rabid fan interest in the ‘Halo’ franchise and with more than 4 million users and counting on Xbox Live worldwide, this is the perfect time to invite fans to join the global ‘Halo’ phenomenon.”

Next-generation high-definition visuals; enhanced artificial intelligence; an advanced real-time lighting engine; and new weapons, characters and challenges are just a few examples of the evolution of design and technology in “Halo 3.” These improvements are designed to give gamers an unparalleled experience and tell an even more compelling and engrossing story. Working in concert with Xbox Live on Xbox 360, “Halo 3” builds on the unique social multiplayer experience of “Halo 2” and promises to expand the innovative and evolving online gameplay and community of “Halo 2” on Xbox Live. In this third chapter of the “Halo” trilogy, Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax.

It would have been better from instore personally, so you can return it instore if it goes faulty and get a straight swap. No idea if you can still do that if you order online.
 
It looks great but I've promised myself no more games until I've finished the previous two Tom Clancy 360 games (GRAW was overlooked for Oblivion and Splinter Cell DA for Gears Of War). If a bill comes in this month I'm stuffed.
