The PlayStation 3 Slim Blu-Ray Drive is great for those who have trouble reading game discs. As an avid gamer, I know how frustrating it can be when a part starts to fail. This actuator is an ideal replacement for the models listed in the product description. I highly recommend this purchase for its relatively easy installation, low cost and long lifespan. The installation isn't exactly a direct replacement. The old hard drive has a circuit board with valuable data that is needed to run the PS3. The system requires a switch on the circuit board. Luckily the seller included some helpful instructions on how to do this. If you need further instructions, there are many helpful tutorial videos on YouTube to guide you step by step. You will also need a very small Phillips screwdriver to open the PS3 and hard drive. You can buy a screwdriver from Revain or another website for less than ten dollars, so it's very cheap. Once the circuit board has been swapped from the old drive to the new one, the hard part is over. All you need is to put everything back together and you should have a working Blu-Ray drive. The price of the product is very affordable. As every gamer knows, the prices of games and other accessories have slowly increased over the past decade. At just $60, which is roughly the price of games and controllers, that's a great price for a product that should now last a long time. A used Blu-ray drive can also be bought for the lower price of $50, but I would recommend buying a new one. The durability is also very good considering the price. Mine lasted about six or seven years before it finally started breaking. It's worth paying just $60 for a device that lasts this long. I hope this information is helpful in making your final decision.
