Thanks guys. I figure right now I have almost 400Gb available. I probably won't do all my CD's. I'll probably do about 3-400 CD's at most of our favorite stuff. So going by what you guys are telling me, I think I'm gonna have plenty of space left for the gaming.
Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.

Yeah for only 300-400 CDs you will have a ton of space left over.

looking at your gallery, you have a mac mini and i assume that you use itunes for you music and i am also assuming that you have a internet router. instead of using up hard drive space on your ps3 for music. you can download a program onto the mac that streams all your music, pictures, videos, ect. i have a ps3 and a imac and i like it...here is the link if you are interested

I've been using the PS3 Media server for over 6 months. Works great.
Really happy it converts flac files to wav on the fly. Really wish Sony would support Flac. I would probably put a 500gb drive in my PS3.

Thanks to everyone for all that great info. Over the last 4 days I have ripped approx 250 full CD's to the PS3. So farI have only used a few Gigs. As of now I have 375 Gb available so I will be able to do the rest of my CD's and still have a ton of space left. I was trying to track how much I used vs. how many I ripped. I checked one morning before I got started and I had 377 Gb available. After doing like 65-70 CD's it said I had 376 Gb available. I was amazed.

Also I may check out that Itunes thing. I mostly use the Mac Mini for surfing and checking e-mail, But may have to start using more of the features.

impressive collection, I thought my 125 gigs was getting to be cumbersome.

Are you doing the songs in MP3 format? so far I have over 20,000 songs and have only used about 11gig give or take. Seems like that's a lot for the number of songs. I could be wrong though.
