i got my ps3 on friday and once i got everything hooked up i updated my ps3 [40gb] well after it was all done only had 27 gbs left wtf all i put on it was like 512mbs of music .my question is there an way to delete the update like onthe psp?
Reformat your hard drive. If you had bought any games from the PSN you are allowed to redownload them for free for only a certain number of times. All you game save data needs to be taken out somehow too if you want to keep it.
..yeah i know that ...but when i unboxed it and evrything...got it hooked up i checked my software verision and i also saw taht i had 37gbs/37gbsthen once i updated it i was left with 28gbs/37gbs...since i've put all my music (800mbs) put on some demoslike around 3-4gbs and downloading another demos with 1.4gbs..the bottom line is that i still have 28gbs/37gbs left..it's kinda odd
I've kind of got the same thing on my 40gig. It says 28/37. I realize it's not actually 40gig but I was a little surprised at using up 10g for one game my girlfriend downloaded (Q-bert). Not sure what's going on.
The 40Gb H/D size is just marketing, Sony dosen't want to say 37Gb PS3, Dosen't sound as appealing.
It's just how manufactures of H/D's calculate Gb/s, they round the Gb/s off to a 1000mb/s, but a Gb is really 1024mb/s, thats where some of the Gb loss comes in.(might be wrong on this, but pretty sure it's correct)
Most of the other "missing" Gb/s are for system files, game information and saved games.
You can always just go pick up a 120 or 160 gb/s 2.5" notebook drive(make sure it's 5400rpm, no faster) and install it, takes less than 5 min's to install, re-format and re-install your saved games.
