So I have a 60gig PS3 that will eventually run out of space with all the awesome PSN titles coming out and all the installs being mandatory (Which helps the loadtimes at least).

What HDD should I get for it? Something around $100 would be nice.

A Western Digital Scorpio 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM 320 GB drive is about $120. Well worth it, try to get another $30 so you can get that one~

its an internal sata 3.0. So i think that sounds better than a 2.5.

Uh...the PS3 is only comptaible with a 2.5" SATA, anything else smaller or bigger than that is not compatible.

The 320 gig HDD sounds interesting although I'm waiting on the terabyte 2.5 HDD myself (could be wishful thinking at this point though).

Could be awhile, there's only one 500GB on the market at the moment that physically fits in the standard 2.5" form factor.
