120 gb?

i finally bought me a ps3 with 120 gb hdd

but somehow

when playing mgs4 it showed me 91gb free hdd space

which cant be - i only have mgs installed 4000mb and the heavy rain demo + some save games (so lets round it up to 2000mb)

so 4000mb + 2000 mb = 6000mb (6gb)

math first class i would have to have 114gb free hdd space

yet somehow i dont

whats up with that?

Yeah when I first got my PS3 before I had loaded/saved anything onto it I only had 111 free GBs of memory. The operating system I'm guessing takes up around 9 gigs of HDD.

Just because the HDD is 120 GB doesn't mean that you can actually store 120 GB worth of data on it. I'm pretty sure there's a little footnote somewhere that says something along the lines of "formatted space will be less" or something like that. I'm too lazy to actually look it up, but that's just the way technology works.

i see

i still find it strange tho even if the OS takes about 9gb

120- 9 = 111

111- 6 = 105 not 91 ^^

and i didnt dl any avatars or such its still as it came right from the sony works ^^

well

thx 4 ur answers anyway

i find the ps3 menus somewhat odd

the hdd isnt listed to view the total amount of used space like on the 360 etc.

its nice that u can surf thru the normal internet tho

psn is a bit confusing since its not ordered in types demo or dlc

and it seems that demos are very rare

but so far im happy with that thing ^^

where do you see your used storage? i havent been able to find it since getting my ps3

Storage can been seen when you go to your XMB > System Settings > System Information.

As for hard-drive space - don't worry about it, it's perfectly normal. All current and past hard-drives take certain percentage of HDD space reserved.

I have 320 GB HDD and I has 290 free when I installed it. It's just the way hard-drives work. ;)
