Sony encourages you to upgrade your PS3 Hard Drive
Now this is kind of cool and, to me at least, is a big story since this runs counter to the standard console culture of one all systems are proprietary and identical. The PS3 manual apparently
tells you just how to install a new SATA hard drive that doesn't require opening up the box. It looks like any SATA hard drive will work. That's pretty cool. And since you may be able to
load a Linux distro on their as well you can turn it into a full fledged HD DVR in the near future I would bet. Of course, after you've upgraded the drive to a 300 or 400 GB bad boy, the price of the console approaches $800, which you know, isn't far off from the price of a computer. Still, kind of cool.
