I prefer the Xbox 360 way, its as easy as 1. 2. 3.

1. Buy new HDD.
2. Use HDD transfer cable.
3. Sell old HDD.

I don't think anything which generally requires someone to access an online instruction manual is good for the general public.

Online instruction manual? Seriously? For someone who has a ps3, your lack of knowledge about simple things ps3 can be puzzling. Instructions come packaged with the console and don't need to be found online.

I find the PS3 included instructions to be insufficient. For example the instructions on the Mirrors edge theme directed me in the wrong direction, it wasn't until I downloaded newer instructions that I found out how to use the theme.

Its not a question of what you do when you have an empty PS3 and you're whipping out the HDD, its more about the complexity involved in doing so for a PS3 whos HDD is full.

Well I can't imagine how much harder it could possibly be to swap a 360 hdd vs that of a ps3. Most people  if not everyone who plays games has a PC so things like backing up shouldn't be too complicated. Also, gamers who would choose to buy ps3 this gen would tend to have even more tech knowledge than your average casual gamer. I simply find it hard to believe that you who can post all those tech jargon that I find hard to understand, were unable to do something as simple as unscrewing a hdd when even I could do it with the info provided. It's hard to believe.

I think you were just unwilling or just innately wanted it to feel really hard and so it came to pass...
