If I delete home, is it possible to download it again should I decide to try it out again?

Also, if there an easier way to see what is taking up space on my hd than just adding the totals of eveything up?

err... yeah i think you can download it again, and no i dont think there another way to check...

although to find out how much space you got left... go to system setting, then system information or something (soz cant check PS3 anit on :P)

Yeah I deleted HOME once cuz my 40gb was Full and I needed space for MGS4. You"ll be able to download it back but if you delete HOME's save data then you will lose your avatar guy and all the things you downloaded/bought in HOME. If you care, save your save file/data.

just a thought, but if you are having problems with HDD space, you could alwayz upgrade the HDD to a bigger size

2.5in SATA laptop HDD does the job... any size you want.

Looks like you need to upgrade your hard drive! That sounds like the best bet, and its easy.

Thanks for all of the tips!

I was just curious because I only bougth my PS3 a couple weeks ago and lastI checked I had only 49GB free out of 80GB. Plently of space left for me, but just wondering where it all went. Our family has a 360 and it tells you so much space is in demos, games, profiles, ect. I figured askin would be worht a shot.

You still have plenty of space so no need to worry about replacing your HD yet. If you are curious about how much space a DLed game is or how much MB a trailer or demo is, just select the trailer, demo or game via the Triangle button & select Information. It will tell you the size in MB. I hope that's helpful.

On another note, if you or anyone is interested in replacing their HD for their PS3, here are some choices.

I replaced my PS3 HD with the Western Digital Scorpio 320gig 5400RPM & it has made things easier. I don't have to crimp & delete like I did with my 60gig. I just DL & then delete when I feel like it.

Agreed. 500 gig hard drive is definitely the way to go when upgrading. And you can get them for under $90 now online. I installed the Western Digital 500 gig WD5000BEVT hard drive: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=506 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136314 And it worked flawlessly. I never worry about hard drive space anymore.
