You'll never receive the full amount on the hard drive. My 80gb PS3 for example only lets me use something like 72?

500,000,000,000 bytes = 465.6 GB.

I am guessing that ~58 GB are reserved for the OS? Sounds rather high.

Edit: Missed some zeroes. Corrected.

You always receive the full amount on the drive. HDD manufacturers just report the free space differently than how your operating system does (base 10 vs base 2).

84GB is three games installed... OS + Default apps = 465GB - 408GB = ~58GB
