Yeah amazon was where I was already looking. I will probably end up with the 500gb drive just got to wait a few days and see how my money situations will be by then.

Last night kinda went like this....

>HDD comes in day early
>Finds out has to format my other external drive causeing me to lose butseckz pornos and musickz
.>Decided to pay $50 for 12 month PS+ which contains storage folder
> finds out GTAIV , Sonic Unleashed/06 , Soul Calibur IV , Virtua Fighter 5 won't transfer is irritate
>Transfers them using PSP instead just for keeps at least
>Takes 2 hours manually switching everything over
>Begins to take old HDD out discoverse blue screw
> Blue screw doesn't like being screwed by anything that isn't Phillips 0 x 2 - 1/2
> Has 12 screwdrivers none of them are the right one

Lol sounds pretty bad. Yeah, you want to be careful with that blue screw that you don't strip it.

If you strip the screws, you won't be able to screw them in and out properly. If you don't have the proper phillips head, don't try it anymore. Hopefully you haven't stripped them. They're supposed to be tight to keep everything together well obviously.

nothing has worked pretty pissed I can't fix it. What should i do I was recommended needlesnose pliers on Gamefaqs to at least loose it and screwdrive it the rest of the way out but did not work either. how do you tell if stripped? Sorry got vision problems and btw once you transfer saves from old HDD to new one can you still use your current save and still collect trophies and stuff?

Hope that helps.

And yes. If your trophies are synched online, they will not be touched regardless of if you transfer saves or not.

Yeah glad it isn't stripped from the looks of it. I've tried alot of what they mentioned and even had a few of my friends try and get it but no good. I'm really afraid if fucking it up and Gamestop won't do jack shit for me. As for saves I meant will you still be able to collect trophies on a save you transfered over? i mean i've heard some games are locked and have penalities for it (like not being able to collect trophies unless you restart the game).

Well put it this way. If you were looking to get trophies in a game for 60 kills, 80 kills and 100 kills, and you had 90 kills on your old data. You'd have the 60 kills and 80 kills trophy. On your new HDD, you'd still have those two trophies but you'd need to get all 100 more kills to get that last trophy. If you have the saved data on the new HDD, you MIGHT be able to continue where you left off. I'm unsure.
