Does everybody really have to upgrade their hdd?

I'm not sure, but I swear it's starting to souhnd like everybody who owns a ps3 has to upgrade their hdd because they really need a lot of room. In fact, starting to sort of feel like I'm the only person in the world who owns a ps3 yet never bothered to upgrade my ps3 hdd. My reason is that I just feel that all I need to do is be patient if I wanna download something again like some of a game data installs since some of them take a lot of space, not to mention I own and bought some ps3 games. Besides, the only thing I use my ps3 is mostly just for games and some ps1 classic games (maybe even ps2 games as well), and that's it.

I have a 120 GB HDD in my slim and I'm content with that, I have roughly 75 gigs free.

Well, when you think about it, there's really no reason NOT to upgrade since there really are no cons but all pros:

+It's cheap
+It's super easy
+It's quick

You're not required to upgrade, but usually people that like to download a lot of games want that buffer of space and the convenience of not having to worry about what to delete and keep. And considering how easy Sony made it for consumers to do and not restricting their HDs to a proprietary format, there really is no downside to doing it.

Well, for people like me...heck yeah! I use my PS3 for more then just games, I got loads of music and movies stored on my HDD.

You don't have to, it's just nice to be able to download anything and everything and never even have to think about how much space it's taking up.

i have about 10 gigs left on my 160 gig hdd and ive had to delete some game data. so if you game with as many games that i do, then you should pop for more

It fills up a lot quicker than you'd think. It always sucks to have to search for things to delete when your HDD is full and you need more space...

when i run out of space i just get a new ps3, now i have a 40GB , 80GB and 160 GB :D

I have 90GB free on my 320GB PS3, I'm good.

I upgraded my original 60gig with a 160gig HDD, but after it got the YLoD, I got a 250gig slim. I have no need for a bigger HDD, so I haven't upgraded my slim.

i've got a 60 gb model. Havn't upgraded it but it's a pain to manage the data and would be nice to have more. if it werent for stupid game installs i dont thinkk i'd have a problem.

I have 10 gigs left on my 80 gig system. I dont buy many games these days.

Nope I have never upgraded my Playstation 3 HDD. I have always left the stock HDD in the system. I currently have a PS3 60GB and a PS3 slimline 320GB

But if selling a PS3 system counts. I used to have the PS3 40GB phat, which I sold for the 60giger, and When the Slim first came out I had the launch 120GB Slim. Which I sold when I "upgraded" to the 320Giger slim.

I gave the 120Giger to the epic spouse because the Phat 80Giger MGS Playstation 3 died.

I do dislike the mandatory Data install that PS3 requires. Other than that I have not actually upgraded any of my PS3's HDD's.

You do know the hard drives are a lot cheaper than PS3's.

I still have an 80Gb, and I don't see the point in getting a new one. If I somehow manage to fill it up, I'll just delete some crap. It's not that annoying, and it's not as if I'm play all of my games all of the time. I also tend to not give a crap about my saves because when I replay a game, I ALWAYS start over from the beginning.
