FF14 on the new 12 GB SSD PS3?

What does this even mean? If it was designed to use a sata interface then it was 'designed' to use SSDs.

Maybe you mean, the PS3 wasn't designed to increase performance from improved disk I/O. It will definitely increase install/load times but in-game performance it likely to be unaffected.

You're guaranteed to see a half second load increase time, which is bottlenecked by the fact your on a ps3.

Yes I have a ps3 (Do we really need to say that?) :P

Upgrading the HDD on your Sony PS3 is real easy and was designed that way by Sony. All you do backup your entire PS3 contents to an external USB HDD. (This is gonna take a Looong while).
Then unscrew 1 screw to take off the cover plate for the harddrive. (of course making sure it is unplugged and off!)
Pull out old drive, put in new drive.
PS3 will prompt you to reformat the drive into it's proprietary format. (Which erases all data on the drive in case you didn't know)
Now restore your old data from the USB HDD. (also takes a looong time, because USB is slow.)

Your all set with brand new hard drive.

What was sony thinking..... 12Gb is so useless. Just to keep the price down i guess.

SSDs are expensive. the price increases dramatically as the size goes up.

Nothing more ironic than having to upgrade the hardware on your freaking console.

Talk about defeating the purpose of console gaming.

had to chuckle, its true so ironic

actually price per GB decreases, at 12 GB its 1$ per GB. at 160 its about 0,60 cents per GB.

Looking at it like that sony is screwing you over if you buy the version with 12 gb ssd. i mean come on its like you get the old version without a HDD costing 12$ less
