iirc it doesnt even void warranty. Though if you've had it a couple of years that wouldnt matter anyway:

Yeah it's easy to fill up the space. But it's even easier to upgrade the HDD. I swapped out my 60GB for a 500GB when I got PlayTV. Backed everything up to my iPod, then back onto the new HDD. Easy peasy!

Out of interest, can you map a NAS alongside the internal hard drive?
I've only got the 40GB model and may need to do this at some point.

from yahoo:
I did the exact same thing you want to do, only I transferred my data from my 40GB PS3 to a 320GB PS3. You can't just swap the hard drives out as each time a new drive is put in, it gets formatted and all the data inside becomes deleted.
Get a external hard drive thats formatted to FAT32 (If your gonna get a new external hard drive, its worth asking the people in the store if its FAT32 before you buy) and then connect it to the PS3 via the USB ports.
Once its connected, go to the XMB and go to Settings (2nd from left after the Users). Scroll down to "System Settings" and choose "Backup Utility". Click on that and then choose to backup your data. It should ask you where you want to backup your data and provided that your External HDD is formatted to FAT32 and connected properly to the PS3, it should be recognised. Choose that external HDD and then it should start to make a backup. This can take some time, depending on how much stuff you have on your PS3.
Once you have all your data onto your external HDD, connect that with your new PS3 Slim. Go to the XMB and then the same thing "Settings" -> "System Settings" -> "Backup Utility" but this time instead of choosing to backup, choose "Restore". The PS3 will recognise the external HDD and then you choose the data that is backed up on it. Its a good idea to leave the external HDD empty apart from the backed up data. The backed up data will come up as numbers which is the date and time you backed it up on. Choose that file and then, bobs your uncle, your old data will be saved onto your new PS3 slim.
Feel free to contact me if you need any more help.
Good luck, hope I helped! :)

I'll lose all the data I have. I did think that though.
Unless there is a way of tranferring the data?

...My hard drive on my 40gb PS3 is full :|
I installed the Fallout GOTY edition the other day and I had to delete loads before I could play it. After playing some of the DLC once I had to delete more before I could load the game again.
I had a message come up just now saying only 500mb is left :|
I'd hardly say I have a lot of games either, and theres no films etc on here! I've had to delete save data to a few games that I no longer play.
My 120gb Elite sat next to it is looking quite appealing right now, shame I bought it just for sure as its bound to break :o
