Samsung has a 500GB one. But if the price is right, then by all means go for it.

that sounds like a fair price.

you can get one in Canada that includes the housing for $129 right now at BestBuy.

sorry, i meant it's a pretty good price in the English pound compared to Canadian currency.
it's about right but i'm sure if you shop around you could get it a little cheaper.
i don't know how much more the cost of items are in the UK so i can't really help you out much.
i can only compare it with CAnadian prices

I just want to get it from a fast reliable and free postage site, we can't trust half of the sites on the net also i need to buy other stuff from play there.

i heard Play.com was reputable, so yeah, it's better to get it from there.
the price is about right with current pricing, though.

you might want to hold off until it gets closer to the holidays as prices may drop, unless you're in dire need of more storage, atm.

I might try shopping around for the same hard drive because the ps3 finds it straight away.

Umm. . .just asking.Ok,Im going to buy A ps3 80gig this coming weekend. . ,now the last two years Ive been a 360 owner,so. .I dont get why the need for so much space? Cuz my 20gig HDD has like 300 songs, and the rest of the stuff I stream off pc. But from 13 gigs, and gamesaves etc from 30games,I have 11gigs left that never seems to end.so, if I get a 80gig,how long would that last? With game saves,game installs etc.

I like having a lot of demos, videos and game saves take up alot of space.

me too, i've kept all the demos, tons of PSN videos, 20GB of music, tons of HQ wallpaper, and 3 movies on my HDD
i have 160GB but i still have a lot left, over 100GB. it should suffice. by the time i need more the prices will be cheaper.
