Noob question, but can you install the 2.5" SATA drive inside a desktop computer without any new wiring?

I thought a PS3 used a 3.5" HDD.

Nope.

will changing your PS3 HD void your warranty? does this HD work for the 360?

All of the 2.5"/3.5"/5.25" SATA interface are identical. Buy one and you will see.

If you are asking about PATA/IDE drives, then that's a whole different story.

Is this low price for these only shown at the register or actually written on the product at the shelf???

Early morning, need to go to sleep now. But I'd better head to my BestBuy later today, website shows both are in stock at my store!

The only thing you would need are mounting brackets and a SATA power adapter if your PWS doesn't have one

Ultra ATA (IDE)

Turns out that only one of these three stores had the price.Hello! Of course they "did not have any"... what do you think happen when you called and alerted the employee as to the price? Why do you think the rule is... DO NOT CALL.Exactly. Thanks for blowing the deal for everyone else in your area - except maybe for the BB emps who grabbed them all.
Anyone else reading: DO NOT CALL!

kimgkimg said:Thanks OP in for a couple! Weird thing is that no all the BB stores have the $29 price. (I know I committed a cardinal sin, but I had to call...)

You're an idiot.
