| Aha! Now it makes sense. Connect the PS3 to the PS3 Media Server running on a PC. Now THAT is cool stuff.  |

So it seems to me that if you have the PS3 Media Server, then the need for a monster hard drive in the PS3 itself is greatly reduced. Is a huge drive really required if you have infinite storage available via the network? 120GB would have room for a lot of games, saves, etc. Is there a good reason to go with the 160GB or 250GB systems with the Media Server available? |

| A big hard drive in the PS3 would still be a good idea even if you have the PS3 media server, if for nothing more than gaming data. Game demos alone can start to add up if you are the type who likes to keep them around. Then there are the full game downloads that will definitely need space. Then there are the disk games that put a fair amount of data on the HD for faster performance. So yeah the bigger the better still applies on the PS3 even if you plan on accessing all your other media via network. |

Just recently had to start "trimming" some demos that were installed on my PS3. At least a couple of the newer ones were about 2GB already, and that's not including any possibly wasted space due to the install caches, and save data created by them.
Many retail games now have mandatory installs for the ps3 versions; Bioshock itself is about a 5GB install. Others have optional installs like Street Fighter 4. I think the last game for the ps3 that I'd played that didn't require any installations was Midnight Club: LA.
This also doesn't account for Home (3GB) or the space occupied for Life w/ PlayStation (a.k.a. the new F@H app) and whatever temp space it uses for saving and processing work units.
