I swapped out my 320gb for a 60gb OCZ vertex ssd, and put the 320 in an external chassis. I understand that for the average person, the price difference might be worth it, but anyone who can use a screwdriver can probably put in their own 250 for cheaper (if they use the same $100 price difference as they have in the past for the varying HDD skus)

I say just stick in your own larger hard drive if you're going to be putting alot of crap in your PS3. After all, you can certainly put in something larger than 250GB for less than $100.

Yup. A 500GB WD 25" drive will set you back about the same on newegg.

They're probably going to wait for the 250GB Xbox promotion to end before releasing in the US.

My poor old PS3 is still chugging along with a 20GB drive lol I do not really need more since I keep my music and movies on other storage, I usually stream my media over my network... (I can cram a lot more TB's in my PC then a game console. Now if I could just figure out this FreeNAS thing then I would not have to stream off my main PC.

if i got a ps3 would I see a big difference by using a 5400rpm or a 7200rpm hard drive? that is if I take out the ps3's and put in one i bought off newegg.

I upgraded from 60 GB 5400 rpm to 160GB 7200 rpm. It's fine to go from 5400 to 7200 but there isn't any noticeable difference. I didn't do any benchmarks though - just everyday use gives no impression of a performance gain.
