Tip on HDD upgrades. When the PS3 finally comes out & you feel the need to upgrade the 20 or 60 gig HDD there are many options of which the first one I hope everyone pays close attention.

1. Another rumor going around the press sites is that the PS3 will only come with 6 months warranty due to the blue ray technology and practically every single loose or removeable component inside the PS3 will have a "warranty void if removed" sticker applied to them. Therefore the upgrading the HDD yourself could void your warranty straight away. But 6 months to fill up a 20 or 60 gig HDD you must be on 24/7

2. HDD spin speeds & access. Don't buy cheap & don't buy flashy expensive looking HDD. There are spin speeds (RPM revolutions per minute) and they can start from 4,800 going up through 5,200, 7,200 (a standard in IDE PC HDD) and then up to a good 10,000. There are some doing 12,400 but that is only idle speed and not access rate. And of course the faster it spins the more hotter it will get and there isn't room to attach a HDD cooling fan plate to the bottom when putting inside a PS3.

My preference IF I was going to upgrade would be a more stable maker like Samsung or Maxtor with 160gig, 7,200rpm & 8-16meg cache
