  1. Startup the PS3, on the XMB screen go to settings > system settings > system information.

    Look at the hard drive space, if it's 60GB, the max will be something around 50GB total. It will be short the 60 because of how space is calculated.


  2. If you have a media card tray you got a 60/80 gig.

    If you don't you got a 40 gig.

    Now, when did you buy the thing. If it is recent, then it is most likely an 80 gig. If it is a couple years back, it's most likely a 60 gig. Hope this helps!

    And since it may not play all the PS1/PS2 games, it is most likely the 80 gig.

  3. Go to settings<system settings<system information if you have something under 60 but higher than 40 and to low to be the 80 you do have the 60.

    or If you look to the left of where you put the disk there is a black lid. If it lifts up and has various card slots, it is 6OGB. If you cannot lif it then it is a 40GB.

    or If you have 4 usb ports then you have a 60gig if you only have 2 then its a 40gig

  4. If you look to the left of where you put the disk there is a black lid. If it lifts up and has various card slots, it is 6OGB. If you cannot lif it then it is a 40GB.

    Also a 60GB will have 4 USB slots, a 40GB has 2 USB slots.

  5. Go to settings<system settings<system information if you have something under 60 but higher than 40 and to low to be the 80 you do have the 60.  

  6. Go to Settings-System settings-System information

    There you look how much memory is left from e. g. 55GB. In that case, you've got a 60GB PS3. And it also contains such card reading part (left to the disc slot, simply push/pull it up. And, as for PS1/2 games, there are PSone games in the PSStore, I'd recommend WipEout.

  7. If it is a 60Gb it should have 4 USBs. Also u gotta go to settings system settings then go to system information. That will tell u how big the drive is

  8. If you have 4 usb ports then you have a 60gig if you only have 2 then its a 40gig
