    Is it difficult to switch out the hard drives on the PS3?

    Get a WD SATA 2.5" 500GB on eBay for $86. Then with Bing, it will be about 78. Better deal per GB imo.

    not really. just make sure you have the right screw driver before hand. it's really easy to strip one of those screws.

    I put a 250gb drive on mine and I cant believe that I will come to the day that it will actually be full. I have HD rips of a lot of movies, but now its like I'm just looking for HD fluff to fill it up.
    Do I really need the victorias secret fashion show from both 2008 and 2009? No, but I might as well because I have room to spare.

    Really depends on what you want to store on your PS3.

    Thats not a bad price for a HD.

    Pun - Its not a special screwdriver, just make sure you have a small set of phillips heads that will fit the screw... you don't want to strip it.

    PS3 will only support FAT32 external USB drives, so you won't be able to view files over 4 GB.
