That's got to be one of the coolest things about the PS3. I wish Microsoft had gone the same route with the 360, I'd love to upgrade my hard drive in that, especially with all the TV shows and movies coming out soon.

Agreed. I love the fact that it is possible to upgrade the drive just as I would on my PC.

Haven't tried it, but can't you just plug a USB external HD into either of these systems?

Me too. One bit of FUD I won't feel the need to debunk on a daily basis.
