Good stuff! I picked up a 320GB last Christmas to replace my launch 20GB and there's still a crapload of space left. You'll be fine for a while 8)

haha yeah...... 500gb is as big as they get, i believe. they are only notebook drives so thats about it. however, a 1TB hard drive would be insane....I would just download every demo off of the ps store and store all my music and photos......

I'm pretty sure by definition there is no such thing as an original meme.

When the ps3 boots, it will prompt for a format.

you can use an external hard drive to back up/ restore all of your data so you don't have to re download everything ;)

Well, you can get an enclosure for $20 put the new drive in the enclosure run a backup, then copy the backup to your PC, swap drives in the PS3 and enclosure and put the backup back on the enclosure with the original drive and restore.

Thinking of getting a bigger HDD for both my PS3 and my laptop, but by the time I do I'm hoping they'll come out with a 1 TB laptop HDD... :D

I had an option for 500GB version but I honestly couldn't find a reason to have such large amount of space.

Instead I settled for 320GB HDD. :)

I definitely understand this logic. However, given that the 320 was only a few dollars less than the 500, I couldn't find a reason not to spring for the biggest drive possible.
