    IDK, never bought a game system on BF. Since PSP isn't anything new and exciting, I wouldn't think parents would be lining up to go after that.

    The 1TB is a 2.5".

    Like i said before the size is a major factor when talking price. I have no use for a 3.5" HDD

    Wait until Black Friday and there will be plenty of good deals, I'm sure.

    Amazon
    Newegg

    Do you know any good reviews that state this? I've actually heard that their Elements line of hard drives is actually pretty good because it was released in response to the mediocre reviews that the Passport line received.

    Side note: I have no idea what happened to my ad picture in my previous post. It worked fine when I previewed my post.

    I had two fail on me, sir. :cool: I kid you not, I don't go by them anymore. I even buy the cheaper "buffalo" and the "seagate" and they work fine.

    I've had four internal Western Digital hard drives fail on me in 3 years. Luckily my home PC is Raid 1 and the fix is easy.
