    recently got a 250gig slim PS3 and noticed it is about half full. is there somewhere in the menus i can see what is all on the HDD much like how you can see everything on the HDD of a 360?

    to my knowledge the only things on the HDD is Infamous, LBP, V8 superstars and Wipeout and there is no way that could make up for over 100gigs

    .From what I heard some PS3 partition around 15% for other stuff.

    There's no "memory" like the 360, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out where all this HDD space is being used. You're installed games and/or your game utility data are the usual suspects.

    Some games often install large files to the system for faster read times. Check the gamedata folder to see, you might have old gamedata installs you don't need anymore.
