A 250gb HD was the second thing I bought for my PS, unfortunately there is only around 230gb of real space availible after format and installing OS but it should be plenty. I store all my mpg and music on my PS3 locally now.

Welcome to the club. Its awesome!:)

 

How quick was it to do?

yup, excluding the backup transfer.

Also watch out for the HDD screws when changing, they're pretty soft and can strip easily.

How much is it? I should do this one day.



@izaaz101

Like Bullet said, the actual formating takes around 5 minute, however you will need to backup your files and PSN games before this and then restore them on the new HD, this takes much longer depending on how much content you have, roughyl 1-3 hours all up.
