whats the use for the large hard drive?

today im getting a 160gb hd ps3 via trade of wii, monitor and hddvd player. I cant possibly think what could fill up 160gb of space on a ps3.

what i do know is that you download games onto the drive but what else do u use the space for?

um.....Games?

Well among the obvious are:

Music

Photos

Videos

Downloadable Content

PSN Games (Yay Fat Princess)

And most PS3 games will install themselves onto your hard drive to reduce load times throughout the game, as well as take the strain off the disk drive while playing.... Unless you're hardcore into all those things you won't really have to worry about filling up your hard drive especially a 160... Congrats on the purchase, what games are you looking into getting?

I have a 320gb hard drive. I've used about 100gb of it thus far. It's mainly filled with game installs and alot of movies and tv shows that i used to keep on my pc.xmitchconnorx

im getting a 500gig hard drive, all i need to do now is find a shop that does them :(

He would have a heart attack even if it costed just a couple bucks :lol:

I have already filled up more than that on my 500gb ps3s. It's called PSN games, mandatory 2-4gb installs on every game you buy, music for playlists to play while in games, videos-game trailers, Yellow Dog Linux 6.1 that uses 12gb and is free to install and makes you PS3 able to play PC games and play online games like yahoo games, themes that are free to DL via the web browser and can be created on your PC via PS3 theme creator and paint.net for free. I have done all of these things and my PS3s would put any 360 to utter shame. Trust me if you know everything that can be done on a PS3 you can use up massive space.

i find it hilarious that some people transfer files from their computer to the ps3...its not really necessary to put music and videos on your ps3 when it works just fine on your computer.
