I'm going to have to get a wheel for this.

I'm willing to dish out some cash, if it's nice enough.

I bet I'll spend 10% of my time with the game actually racing and the other 90% looking at replays and taking screenshots.

I'm ready to play this bad boy. I only have a 40 gig ps3, but have a 250 gig 360. I wish I could share some of the HD space

I don't know what all I can delete to get the space to install this game.

Just buy a 2.5" 5400 RPM HDD and upgrade it in the PS3. Can get 500gigs for $60.

Yea, I upgraded my 40gb HDD to a 640GB that I found on sale at Newegg about a year ago. I don't think I'll ever have to worry about HDD space again.

My 80 gig is in dire need of an upgrade. Which one did you end up going with?

Western Digital, Seagate?

I know Seagate comes with the PS3s, I have been using WD (mainly Raptors now) for over 10 years and have had great success with them.

I am probably going to get a WD drive, but ones have to be careful, you have to use the original SATA 2.5" 5400 RPM labtop drives... Western Digital and others are adopting "Advanced Format Technology"on newer models of the same drive which some are reporting has issues with the PS3 OS, and games and video are skipping because it is not optimized for said drives.

This is the exact drive I installed except I caught mine on sale for around $60 shipped.

Edit: Some people have left feedback about this drive causing stuttering issues, I have not had a single issue with it and I just played though the entire game of uncharted 2 last week. I have the older model ps3 though.

That was just what I was going to ask. If you had stuttering.

I think the stuttering is that the newer models store the OS on the HDD itself, where as the older models (like you and I have) have the OS on the mainboard. So thanks for the heads up.
