Actually this is where Microsoft has done well.

I can switch a HDD on an Xbox 360 in less time than it takes to boot up the average game. They give you a transfer cable if you buy the 120GB model, whereas a transition from a 40gb to 250gb HDD say on the PS3 sounds like a complete PITA in comparison.

I can also migrate my profile onto a memory card in the same time or less. It made going from one console to another a complete breeze. With my PS3 when I sent it in for repair I had to buy a precision screwdriver set to yank the HDD.

 

ps3 have a back up utility too, and upgrade the 2.5 hdd is hardly 5 min, remove the cover unscrew remove the drive insert the new one.

@mrstickball, tech isnt but its propietary in the way you have to buy a m$ hdd or doing all the mumbo jumbo you just mentioned.

this time around sony have done a great job designing their hardware that its easy to upgrade,

power cable got lost or broke? u can use any pc power cable.

@Sqrl fair enough, but i 3.5 are big more noisy and require more power, ps3 or 360 would have been bigger, more noisy and comsume more power.

2.5 is standard enough, and its easier to replace than own laptop HDD.
