True and he did request a DEV so I don't see why he didn't make a Ticket. In anycase we are low on numbers and could use every player, I say leave no one behind.

The limitation on the PS3 is that it works at 1.5Gb/s. A SATA 1 SSD could do grand but since they were a new product they were quite buggy. The best bet for anyone upgrading is to get a 2.5 SATA 3 SSD as it is fully back compatible for 1.5Gb/s rated units, and most of the bugs associated with SSDs had been ironed out by their production date.

I don't see how it's a waste of money with more games installing large amounts of data on the hard drive as well as using the cache on the hard drives fairly intensively the advantages are noticeable. Claiming that it's 10x better on a PC is a pile of BS. What you'll get at the moment with a new SATA 6 SSD is 6Gb/s. Lets do the sums on that.....that'd be 4 times better than a 1.5Gb/s Using a SATA 3 SSD would have minimal bottle necking due to its designed compatibility too, so you'll get close to the 1.5Gb/s off it. Since Dust is purely hard drive based the advantages are easily there. If you don't want to spend the money, fair enough, but claiming what you did is a big steaming pile of BS. Props for trying to give advice but making wild claims does you no credit.

Stevez, since ya just want to play Dust I'd go with what I said earlier and get a 2nd hand PS3 with a broken disk drive, one of the slims rather than a fatboy or extra slim, as they have some of the better construction. Good luck and see ya in Dust soon

stop everything, let's get a dev to reply to this quitter.

A really cheap option to look at is to buy a 2nd hand PS3 that has a broken disk player. You should be able to pick one up for pocket change.
If you go for the newest PS3 with the 12GB you should be well set up. As far as I know that 12GB is solid state so you'll have Dust running as smoothly as possible

Hey folks, after 2 months break from this game due to lack of content, I really wanna give it another try. I don't have my old ps3 anymore so I was wondering what PS3 is good to get.

I simply want it to play DUST and was thinking of getting the 12GB model but will that be enough space?


Also, how big is the current DUST 514 file on your HD? That would also be a great help!

Sony limits loading speeds on the ps3 so it does increase performance but not very much. Like I said they are a waste of money on ps3s and work 10x better on PCs.

I have an old 40 gig fat boy and I'm always last to deploy and get a lot of lad when trying to spawn into a game I swear by the time I'm spawned the rest of the team has at least two objectives... does anyone think this is a network isssue or my fat ps3 is slow? Cuz if its the ps3 id totally buy a new ps3 ( and yes not buy a ps4 nothing interesting in ps4 for right now)

You could probably find a PS3 with a non functional bluray for dirt cheap.

Something to read on the 12GB PS3

No it isn't. Non of the ps3s have solid state drives and SSDs do not increase the performance much at all on the ps3 (Pretty much SSDs are a waste of money on Ps3s it will have far greater uses in a PC then a Ps3)

Can't remember the exact size, something like 2.4GB. 12GB PS3 should be more than enough if all you want it for is Dust.

Edit: Just checked and it is 2719MB
