I am looking to upgrade my hard drive from 60GB to a 160GB or even a 250GB. I found this one on amazon and was wondering if this is the type of one that would work and also if it was a good price. Any suggestions where to find a good one at a decent price?

Thanks.

I want to upgrade my HDD, but how does it work with all the copy protected files,(Demon's Souls, Killzone 2 etc). I really don't want to have to start my games over :(. Is there any way around it?
