I've had my 40 gb for about a month and have around a hundred hours of play on it, but it has frozen about 4 times in that period. Twice online on CoD4 and Twice on Oblivion. I have all the updates and stuff, but idk what's going on. Help?

Also, what kind of HD does the PS3 use? Will a PC hard drive work? or what? Where can you get them? Looking for as much memory as i can get for less than $100. And how do i change it without voiding the warrenty?

the hdd type is SATA 5400tpm 2.5"_ Changing HDDs wont **** with your warranty because tells u in the manual how to swap HDDs. All ps3s freeze up, its natural. Just shut it off from the controller and not the back of the ps3. Remember its built like a pc so turning it off improperly will **** it up in the long run.
