I noticed the newest PS3 doesnt have the same hdd slot that the previous one did. Where is it located? I'm wanting to install a bigger HDD for my backed up games. Thanks for the help.

Yes, google is perhaps the best way

You do know that it is in the booklet that came with the ps3?

No offense but the newest PS3 or atleast the one I have doesnt have the same slot as the ones on Google I've looked at. Maybe I'm just retarded. I tried searching and couldnt find the newest version. Also I somehow lost my Booklet.
There is a tiny 1 inch by 1/4 inch wide plastic insert I can pull out to reveal a screw but I dont want to break anything pulling on something that may not be the HDD. Also it doesnt say HDD anywhere. Its towards the front and the part I see that could possibly slide out is on the bottom right of the front of the PS3 under where you insert your disc (where it says bluray, DTS, hdmi etc.) I dont see a slot like all the youtube videos etc to pull the HDD out of.

There are Youtube videos and complete how-to's with pictures of how to do this process.
if you remove the blue screw underneath the little plastic insert you should just be able to pull the drive out from any crack at the bottom front. you shouldn't break anything.
I have yet to find them. Google and Youtube are flooded with the older Slim versions. Couldnt you just help someone for once instead of saying its out there somewhere. I just needed someone to says yes you can pull on that section to get to the HDD.
Thanks i figured that was probably it I just didnt want to break any pieces off of those air vent cracks if it wasnt supposed to come out there. I searched for an hour or so but only found info on the older PS3 slim installs with the other slot.
