    I know you said you don't want to, but You should really consider investing in a ps4. They will eventually discontinue support for the PS3, so you won't be able to use it forever.

    Also, rumor has it they're making a new PS4 with a more powerful GPU and CPU for about 400-500 dollars, and it will be capable of running games at 4k resolution (i'm calling it the PS4k)

    Put away a dollar a day for a year and a half, and boom you have a PS4

    A SSD is a temporary investment that will cost you about ~$90 for a 120 GB one. You can transfer it to your PS4 when you get one to make it perform better as well. (I outpace hubbies load times by 15 or more seconds on most maps, its almost instantaneous) You will eventually want a ps4 because a SSD bring you from terrible to acceptable and a ps3 to ps4 brings you from acceptable to appreciable. :3

    It's not rentable to have only 120 GB on a PS4.
    A hybrid with 1 TB would be better if it should go into a PS4 later.

    What others have been saying get a SSD it'll help a lot. Even a hybrid drive helps but an all out ssd is the best upgrade you can get there.

    Get rid of that ancient toaster and buy a sexy gaming rig or PS4, faster load times with benefits!

Not sure if this is a thing, but yeah please let me know if there is a way and no i'm not gonna pay 120$ for an add-on to ps3 lol, this is the only game i play so i can't justify buying a 400$ ps4+game or a 1200$ PC :O
    You must be regret if you have switched to PS4! But regret for not swtiching it earlier. ^^;

    The load times on PS4 really aren't that bad. My GF plays PS4 and compared to my PC she loads in maybe 2 seconds slower than I do. Go with any respectable 2TB HDD and you'll be fine for a long time to come with the PS4. The best upgrade to load times for a PS3 is to buy a PS4. Quit beating around the bush and definitely don't waste money putting a better drive into a console that is on its way out the door.
