That's correct though no idea if the new 80GB version will still have that diff. The current 40GB one only has 2 USB ports. Also, I forget now, but doesn't the current 80GB also have an SD card reader, which is missing from the 40GB one?
Anyway, yeah, if you really want more HDD space for downloads and such, you might well end up replacing the drive w/ something bigger anyway. When my 40GB drive got corrupted bad enough to not reformat in the PS3 (but not sure if it's truly dead), I just replaced it cheaply (and very easily) w/ a lower power consuming, cooler running 120GB drive from Western Digital. Probably shoulda just sprung for the 160GB for another $10 or so. Then again, if I ever actually get to the point where 120GB is not enough, I'm guessing 160GB would probably also not be enough either, and I'll just end up replacing the drive again at that point.
