you need a 2.5 inch SATA Laptop Hard Drive. No smaller no Bigger

Seagate Momentus SATA Laptop Hard Drive (Are good, its what i have, and it hasnt failed me yet :D)

2.5"

5400 RPM (Not 7200 RPM, i hear its not safe)

500gb is a good size if you can afford it, their only about $80 now if you can get it on Sale at Best Buy for Christmas sales ya know. OR maybe newegg.com has some for cheaper. Sum guy found a 1 TB one, but they dont havem at Best Buy in 2.5 inches. But yeah those are the specs you need to know to get what you need for your PS3

Instead of saying "Half Terabyte" why not say 500gb???, lol....but yea a 2.5 sata 5400 or 7200rpm will both work fine....honestly just buy a 100gig one for around $20 or $30 and buy a Desktop terabye Hd and connection cable to use as an external (cheaper than buying a flat out external- IN MOST CASES) and use that to access your media like music (not sure how many games support "in game" music now), video or pics...even tho i dont see the point of having a ton of pic on the ps3 but videos a huge plus If you want to save a ton of money and have a decent desktop or laptop with a good size Hard drive. Buy a 80-120gig Hd for your ps3 and then download orb or any other program that will allow you to access the files on your computer from your ps3

This seems to be pretty good, the reviews are favorable and not to mention many were from PS3 owners.
