ps3 hard drive replacement and the predicament of recording the tv

Bought a 320gb hard drive for my ps3 as I also recently bought Play TV.

My old Wharfedale hd recorder knacked in spectacular fashion......

Considering I threw all videos out of the house and video recorders out even earlier, we have had no way of recording anything off the tv...Even though Iplayer and torr3nt sites have covered most angles, it is still nice to have the facility to tape and watch something the same night or just to keep it...

I priced up a new method of recrding the tv and had a bright light appear in my head when I looked at my ps3.....if I buy a bigger hd for it and `that play tv thing` ...well you get the idea....

it works a treat and actually has a better quality picture than the old freeview method....

It only has the standard uk freeview channels, but that is more than enough for me...

the hd was a doddle to swap and the whole lot cost me about £80.

So I now watch and record freeview on my 320gb ps3.......and the fact that Iplayer has been chucked in the latest update means the 360 can get stuffed....even though I bought bf1943 for it, I havent renewed my xbox live gold and I think now - whats the point.....

The ps3 has really started to be the top console for my house and I will probably buy ps3 online games from now on and let the 360 play hd dvds and nowt else.....until xbox live is free anyway !!
