» Anyones thoughts changing?
With the 20GB PS3 having HDMI now and in light of this kind of news is anyone else thinking of getting a 20GB model then using that $100 you had left over for your 60GB model and getting themselves a nice 2.5" hard drive.
I'm going to be campping out for mine and if I have the choice I think I might get myself the 20GB and just pop a 120 or 160GB in it.

» Don't Change It!!!
They'd better not pull some BS where they modify the PS3 later on so you can no longer do this. With that and their tirade against homebrew.... I would have to kill you, Sony.

Uhh those 2.5" SATA HDD are expensive they are the same as the ones in laptops, so forget about getting a decent HDD for $100 think somthing around $200+ and were talking 60-120 GB range

» HDD to HDD data transfer?
Ok, this is great. Nice to see confirmation that the HDD swap is as easy as that.
Now, imagine that you've been using your PS3 for about a year and are feeling cramped by the 60GB drive. You want to upgrade the internal drive but don't want to loose all your precious game-saves, purchased add-ons, etc. How do you transfer all that data to the new drive?
This all comes down to how Sony has chosen to format the internal drive. Did they use an existing format (FAT32, ext/3, etc), or did they roll their own proprietary format?
I hope the former, but if anyone has contact with someone brave enough to do this with their new PS3 system, I want to see some PS3 data saved to the internal drive, and then the drive removed from the PS3 and attached to a PC (running Win, OSX, and/or Linux). Attachement either directly to an SATA port, or to USB through an external HDD case. Can the data be copied off the drive? Can new data (like some spare mp3's on the PC) be copied to the drive and the PS3 able to recognize them? If the PC can't regonize the drive, can the PS3 recognize it through USB (with the removed PS3 drive in a USB Hard drive case), and able to copy the datas onto the new drive that way?
Thoughts? (And please no guesses, I want hard empirical data.)

» Adapter to external
is there such a thing as a 2.5" SATA to 3.5" SATA adapter? would it be possible to plug in an adapter to the PS3 run a cable outside the case and plug in an external hard drive? preferably of the faster/cheaper/larger 3.5" variety?

» Re: MetalDwarf
Yeah, sure. You can skin the cat many ways has how to hook up the PS3 formatted HDD to a PC. My question boils down to either:
A) Is the formatting of the PS3 HDD proprietary and only understandable by the PS3, or something computers (Windows, Mac, and/or Linux) can understand.
B) Can the PS3 understand it's own formatted drive when it is attached externally through the USB ports, and can you copy data from the external (old PS3 drive) to your brand-spanking new and larger new PS3 drive.

» RE: HDD to HDD data tarnsfer
I would think by then you will own a jump drive that has 10GB on it and I can imagine you can transfer files to that and to SD card, copy to PC for the time being. Or likely network the PS3 with your PC and transfer that way..
Give it time and one will figure it out. I would say with the price of HDD's now, just spend the coin and get a larger one

» 350GB 3.5"
DailyTech has stated they have already installed a 3.5" 320GB HDD into the PS3. here is a quote site can be found here http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4908&ref=y here is a quote
"What's different from Microsoft's implementation is that the hard drive is easily accessible via a special compartment on the console. Just a flip of the lid and a removal of a few screws is all that's required to separate the hard drive from the system. What's even more interesting is that Sony explicitly states in its Safety and Support manual that the system will accept any 2.5" SATA hard drive, which will eliminate any user cries of storage limitations like what Xbox 360 owners are experiencing. People getting (or stuck with) the 20GB version of the PlayStation 3 could easily upgrade to a drive that would surpass its more expensive older brother. This also opens up the opportunity of upgrading to a faster, 7200 RPM drive. At DailyTech, we've already attempted to use a 3.5" 320GB hard drive (with some creative cabling), and had no problem utilizing the new drive."
