Hey guys,

Need your help on this, I was in a huge Electronics store at the weekend looking at plasma's and home theatre etc.

The guy working there mentioned that you can use an external hard drive via usb so that you effectivley use the PS3 as a HTPC but of course it has the benefit of having a bluray drive also.

I found this article aswell that explains how to replace the HDD in the PS3 to enable huge storage.

What are your thoughts on this, what draw backs would I be looking at if any.

Thanks
