Sony man, this is the type of shit that really pisses me off. You advertise a 250GB Hard Drive, people buy it, but they don’t get anything like that whatsoever.
Take a look at this pic i took before i transfered any data over to my new PS3 system.
This was taken just after the initial setup.
So as you can see, there is not a total of 250GB hard drive space. There is a total of 232GB, thats 18GB less than advertised, then as you can see i only have 205GB worth of space available to me, thats 45 fucking GB of valuable hard drive space that i can not use.
Shit pisses me off. WHY LIE TO US!!!!!!!Twitter.com/scatigno1

LOL thats not just sony man every HDD is that way.
Quote:It turns out that the answer has to do with your electronic devices and their operating systems using a different definition of “gigabyte” (“GB”) than that of the manufacturer’s of storage devices such as memory cards and hard drives. When manufacturers of such devices say “GB”, they mean what is called a “decimal gigabyte”, which equals exactly 1,000,000,000 (one billion) bytes (a byte is a fairly basic unit of storage in computers). When your device’s operating system describes the capacity of the storage medium, they typically use what is called a “binary gigabyte”, which equals exactly 1,073,741,824 bytes. Because of this discrepancy, a device has less binary gigabytes than decimal gigabytes.It turns out that a decimal gigabyte is approximately 93% the size of a binary gigabyte, so if your hard drive is 40 decimal gigabytes, your operating system will report that it is approximately:
40 decimal gigabytes * 93% = 40 * 0.93 = 37.2 binary gigabytes
Which is exactly the hard disk capacity that is reported by operating systems such as Windows XP. Likewise, a 1 decimal terabyte hard drive is 1000 decimal gigabytes. Windows will report that hard disk’s capacity as approximately:
1000 decimal gigabytes * 93% = 1000 * 0.93 = 930 binary gigabytes (this is very close to what Windows reports; however, the multiplication factor isn’t exactly 0.93, as we’ll see below)
So simply put, when you purchase a digital storage medium, you can expect your operating system to identify it as being about 93% the size that you expect it to be. You’re not being ripped off; it’s just that the word “gigabyte” is used to mean two different things.
That is sooooooo gay, see how these people get away with that false advertising shit.
