SCEJ offers to upgrade PS3 HDD to 250GB

Sony – or Sony Computer Enetertainment Japan (SCEJ) to be specific – is offering to upgrade PlayStation 3 console’s hard drives to 250 GB versions.

The service is aimed at PS3 owners who are finding the space on their console is running out too fast, but don’t feel confident enough to change the HDD themselves (even though Sony made it mega easy). This upgrade doesn’t come for free though, consumers will have to dish out ¥18,000 to give their black beast a bigger storage capacity.

This is perfect for those too scared, or just too lazy, as it includes all the work required; from backing up and restoring data on the new drive to buying the hard drive itself. If this sounds good to you (and you happen to live in Japan) then head on over to the official SCEJ hard drive swapping service page.
