MS really has to swallow their pride and go Blu-Ray, people don't want to be juggling DVDs when they play games. Never mind the fact that people aren't always in a position to download their online content, e.g. Here in NZ where we pay out the arse for capped broadband.
MS also needs a new racing title.

500GB Blowout: How to SUPERCHARGE Your PS3!
Exclusive: There's only one way to unlock 500GB of storage on your PlayStation 3 -- using the new Samsung Spinpoint M6. Here's how to install it in five easy steps.
 Here we go: official proof that the PS3 can handle a 500GB drive!
Is that measly 40GB hard drive keeping you from downloading all your favorite movies and games from the PlayStation Store? Here are five easy to follow steps to supercharge your PS3 to a whopping 500 gigs for all your downloading pleasures. Watch the video walkthrough to see how it's done.
Step #1:
Purchase the Samsung M6 500GB hard drive (widely available online for around $230). Important note: The M6 is the only 500GB internal hard drive that will fit into the PS3. Use the PS3's Backup function to transfer saves and other content to a USB drive.
Step #2:
Unplug the PS3 and ground yourself. Open the PS3's hard drive access port, located on the side of the unit, with your fingernail.
Step #3:
Carefully unscrew the blue screw using the correct screwdriver bit (Philips Precise) using gentle pressure, taking care not to strip the screw. Pull out the metal hinge, and slide the hard drive tray out.
Step #4:
Unscrew the four screws that attach the hard drive to the metal tray, and remove the old hard drive (place old drive in anti-static bag).
Step #5:
Attach the new Samsung 500GB hard drive to the tray, replacing the four screws from the previous step. Slide the hard drive tray back into the PS3 port, and snap the metal hinge back into place, then replace the blue screw. Close the access port, power up your PS3, and replace the date stored on your USB drive. Voila -- you're done! Enjoy your massive storage space.

This doesn't void warranty, either (the PS3 instruction booklet shows you how to replace the HD, as well).
