We're only arguing because you continue to post long lists of explanations that I don't need. I know how a HDD works. I happen to own quite a few. ;)

THen why do you constantly bring up 92, when you would damn know that its not 92 but a lower number than that just from conversion of numbers

The GrapeVine tells me it's background applications, the OS, and fragments of the new PlayStation Store that chop away at the space, which as you said (and I know), isn't a full 500GB anyway (the chatter I hear claim it's 472GB before the mentioned variables). 

i already covered it in an earlier post everyone seems to have skipped.

a large chunk of it is cache for the 15 minutes of live gameplay to be dumped in, and edited, it isnt saved to your usable space until you go in and manually save a section, such a cache area needs to be in a constrained environment for obvious reasons.

p.s. 8gb of it is reserved for resume state backup, eventally you will be able to boot from a resume state even from cold boot once its added to the firmware.
