Yeah it certainly is, I thought that was really, really generous of Sony. Sony has always been pretty customer friendly and have always made machines that last year after year,

switching out your HDD is entirely covered by warranty its in the manual.

well Sony makes 40gb 60gb & 80gb hardrives stock but i believe they stopped producing the 60gb version. & there are external USB hardrives you can purchase 4 ur PS3 so swapping the stock hardrive isnt neccecary.

my ps3 broke and it cost $160 to fix it. one tip i have for most ps3 owners out there if you swap out your hard drive you void your warranty and you need the original hard drive or sony will not repair your ps3. if you dont believe me call sony repair service. Also if you swap out your hard drive use a 5400rpm because a 7200rpm will break your system. i used a seagate momentus 7200.3 hdd and my system is broke.

Sort of. But it goes by bytes. Like 1GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes right? Well an actual 1GB is actually less then the bytes they give you. You still have the 60+ GB but it will just read at 55GB. Look at your HD properties carefully. They give you the amount that you pay for. Really they should clarify this problem.

Lol they are 60 GB HDD's man. Before formatting.

They advertise 1 billion bytes (1Gb not GB), which is the actual storage size. 1 billion bytes is not equal to 1 GB. 1GB is 1.073 billion bytes. a 60 billion byte hard drive is measured as 55.87 GB. In order to have a 60GB reading you would need 64 billion bytes. This all boils down to 8 bits in a byte, 1024 bytes in a KB, 1024 KB in a MB, 1024 MB in a GB. Now do the calculation and find out how many bits are in a GB. Yes, it's confusing and they should be labeled Gb not GB. Oh well...
