Its pretty silly to compare what is essentially a brick+mortar price with the price on newegg. Furthermore the design of the hard-drive is better from a laymans perspective. You don't need to read a how-to on the internet before you're confident you can do it. I would say the time/effort saved worth at least $10-20. Just because you're good with a screw driver doesn't mean you can act like 90% of people aren't too ignorant to change a PS3 HDD. $110 reduced from 140 from Bestbuy for a 160gb seagate. $150 for a 120gb Xbox 360 drive. Thats pretty fair/close. And for those who are gonna complain about the cost, go build a pc or something useful.

instructions on how to replace your ps3 hard drive come with the ps3 manual.
all you do is remove a the blue screw, slide out the caddy, remove the holding screws on the attached drive, replace with new drive, rescrew holding screws, slide the caddy back in and screw in the blue screw.
if that's all i have to go through to and still pay half the price for double the space, then i'd gladly take sony's option. how many times are you actually going to change your drive for it to be a risk?
even with the 'time and effort saved', the 360 drive is still a rip off. you know that so i see no reason in even attempting to defend it.
