I love that, im totally immersed in computers, seeing as its my career, what im looking for a is a definitive list of whats on the drive, loosing 13Gb on a drive is really quite out of order, noone told me XP was going to be installed on the thing out of the box.. :-)

The drive is sold as a 60Gb but comes preformatted in the system as a 57gb total available which is completely acceptable and expected.

However loosing another 10gb is a bit much (clean turn on nothing installed!!) to be honest having my own 2TB nas at home I couldnt give a rats, im not going to use the PS3 for data storage or anything else, but I may well use it to install games from blueray to decrease load times. And if the total number of games I can install is reduced significantly because of a web browser I wont ever use...

Im just trying to understand what they put on, ive emailed Sony directly as well and if they come back with info will post here.
