Looks pretty good, though as I don't understand a word of Japanese, I don't know the details of it 
, such as can you just slap a blank disk in? OR do you need to copy the data from disk to disk to get the OS etc to work?

He didn't exactly open it. Can't have been cheep though, that's a 2.5" 120gb drive and they don't come cheap.Snow-Munki said:

I read a while ago that the OS and other important stuff is stored on 512MB of internal flash memory, which IIRC is also used to store updates.

Just been looking at the price of the 360 hdd £60 for 20gb are they having a bubble you can get a 120gb western digital notebook hdd on this sit for only £15 or so more.
On topic though I think its good that you can replace the hdd with an off the shelf one it will be even better if the ps3 allows playback of divx ect somtime in the future.It would also be great if they did a microsoft and allowed HD movie and TV show downloads in the future
