This is good news..except for one thing. You're going to be charged out the ASS for these HDDs cuz you don't have a choice. Thank god Sony didn't use proprietary hardware for their HDD.

I certainly don't thank god about the PS3 HDD. The time savings with an Xbox 360 HDD + transfer cable are immense, it takes mere minutes of my time to migrate to a larger HDD. Lets see, pull Xbox 360 HDD, Insert new HDD, plug in transfer cable and walk away. I certainly can't be bothered doing my PS3 HDD and im not even sure if I have the right screwdriver to get the HDD out in the first place.

Well, you're just exceptionally lazy, then.  The swappable standard hdd in PS3 is a damn sight better than the proprietary, small, and overpriced 360 solution.

"They're giving PS3's away for free?  Yeah, but you have to actually go pick them up.  Ugh."  - Squilliam, only about PS3s.

No its not worth my time. I earn $30 per hour after tax and spending a couple of hours upgrading my PS3 on my leisure time would cost me more than say working a couple of extra hours (at a job I enjoy) than doing something I consider to be unpleasant.

That comment was a joke most likely. I still think its pretty funny really.

Yeah, well lets check the prices of the bigger 360 hard drives when they come out, and you can do the math.

320gb 2.5" drives are like $60 right now:

And changing drives wouldn't take hours of time commitment.
