Hi guys I've been pondering over what i should do about the internal memory..and after alot of technical support from a friend at Jumbo Sony in dubai i will buy the Western digital scorpio 320GB SATA 3GB/S 2.5 LP 5400RPM 8MB CACHE for 8500/- from alfa. And I have read the instruction manual of the Ps3 harddrive changing in the PS3 manual. My friends in Dubai have all upgraded to this drive and now its my time... I will post pictures of drive capacity after the install.

Remember the standard Ps3 drives are seagate momentus 5400rpm 8 mb cache 1.5g/s read time. for a video tutorial please go through youtube. it'll help with one screw driver and 5 screws thats it. Sony themselves teach you how in the manual.
So wish me luck guys!!! for the largest Ps3 around currently.
And Ps3 uses fat32 system so dont go using an ntfs drive, first format using swissknife v3 (google it)
