but wats the difference in PATA vs. SATA?

Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment

Serial ATA

But all that really matters is that SATA will work for PS3 and PATA will not.

EDIT: Newegg will not deliver to Canada, Futureshop prices are generally inflated, which is why tigerdirect.ca is maybe your best bet.

Once you find a model you like, go to pricegrabber.ca and put in the model number to find the cheapest price in Canada.
