Sony suggests users should upgrade their own PS3 HD's

Sony Computer Entertainment Australia’s Michael Ephraim has addressed consumers who are anticipating the much rumoured 120GB PlayStation 3 console, suggesting that users should instead upgrade their own machines to the desired specification.
Speaking to The Age, Ephraim commented, "The hard drive issue, we've done it so you can upgrade the hard drive."
"It's non-proprietary, and you do have external hard drives," he explained, and pointed out that retailers may also stock PS3 consoles with increased hard drive capacity, specifically for when PlayTV launches.
"With PlayTV, yes you will need more storage”, he conceded. "As we all know, the price of hard drive space is coming down. If we do it, fine, but if we don't do it, the consumer will still have choice," Ephraim continued.
PlayTV is scheduled for release in Spring 2008.

I constantly need to delete stuff on HDD every Thursday as I need to download new demos!! So I want to upgrade my HDD, but it's so expensive :(
BTW, does The Club demo fill a lot, 'cause I got over 3 GB and it still says I don't have enough space...

Cant belive you havent notised that;) thepiratebay.org is a nother (torrent) site with movies etc.

Play TV is like a TiVo for your PS3. So far only availible in european regions as far as I can tell.
Personally, Even though We dont have it in the US and probably wont have anything like it for some time I'm perfectly happy to just be more cautious about what I leave on my PS3 HD, I'm going to dump up a bunch of trailers and stuff onto an external drive for far less than the price of an SATA drive and wait until GAMES have forced me to upgrade. I mean if you can just plug in an external drive or a USB flash drive why leave all that stuff on the system?

I'm planning on upgrading mine as soon as i find time to shop around to get a good deal. 60 GB is fine for right now, but as time goes by i am going to need more space.
