Hey Bananas I was on youtube and saw this video on how to swap your PS3's HDD for a larger one. This might be helpful if you like storing large amounts of media on your PS3. Not sure if any of you already know about this but for those who don't here it is.

Ya, we bought the 40gig and replaced it with a 160gig. :3

The 40 gig still blows, whether you do that or not. It's a nice thing to do, but I haven't found anyone I know that needs more hard disk space yet.

Wow that's incredibly easy and useful. I'll be doing that when I get my hands on my own PS3.

You will void the warranty on your PS3 if you tamper with it. Oh well, who the hell cares. An upgrade is an upgrade. :D

I just know from my first laptops history (do not buy a toshiba laptop btw) that upgrading the littlest thing voids the entire warranty and then you are on your own. I do not know Sony's policy on it.

I do not know Sony's policy on it. Ahh, ok. It could be woid, but I kinda doubt it since it's a function they added to the console that is available without any modification to the system. Generally consoles go by the rule of "pop the hood and it's void" but you really don't need to open up the PS3 to swap the HDD so I'm guessing it might still go under the warranty.
