way to check how much hard drive is left?

is there?tigervscrane

I have that same question. And is there any way to manage the data stored on it all in one place?

On a related note, I just bought my PS3 this week, have one game so far (MLB 2k7) and created an 8MB internal memory card for my PS2 saves but nothing else on thehard drive.I checked the available space and it said "47 / 55" gigs remaining. Does that mean 13 Gigs are already used by up the system software? I didn't think it could take that much space (like Windows XP)

Thanks.

Yeah... it does. But 47GB is still quite a lot of space.

And you can buy a bigger drive and swap it in later on if you need to.

I don't know anything about the OS that comes on the ps3 yet because my shiny new ps3 won't be here til Tuesday but you could load Yellow Dog Linux on it or a few other distros (probably any of them if you work at it) and then you'd simply manage your space as per normal for a Linux system. This is something I plan to look into.

I thought his name was Jebus. You know, like Homer Simpson said "Sweet zombie Jebus that was cool!" and "I can't be a missionary! I don't even believe in Jebus!"
