So I scored a 120GB 2.5" drive from BB for $23 (yes, that hurts to read as a 360 owner).
1. Plugged in a 40GB USB drive (my friend's old PS3 HD), ran the backup utility (30GB ~1hr). Played co-op EDF.
2. Swapped the drives, literally 3 minutes of work.
3. Booted PS3 which prompted for a format (15-20 secs).
4. Ran restore utility (~1hr). Watched TV.
Rebooted and my PS3 was in the same state as pre-upgrade. Everything. Games, saves, themes, bookmarks, config, etc. Get this, my "The Club" demo was still DLing at 46%. It backed up my background DL mid-stream.
Standard OTS HD upgrade was a very nice touch Sony, thank you. Now to buy a 2.5" external USB case for my old 60GB.
Now I have parity. 120GB 360 & 120GB PS3.
