yes, almost ALL hard drives either a console or a pc are not as big as they say. there is always a small percentage of space used for information that cannot be removed or partitions etc. i have 3 hard drives in my PC and even new out of the box they said that they were 95% free space left give or take. its nothing to worry about

lol, there is no need to worry. Sony 4GB Memory Stick is not really 4096 MB, it's really 4021. Same with the PS3. You should be happy you did not get the 20 GB model, because my friend said it only has about 10 GB left after you play a few games, put on a few demos, and maybe even install another OS.

It needs space for the OS

Ps, can you please refrain from saying thnx (Sorry to nit-pick, but on a forum I feel proper english is most appropriate. IM's fine

, but a forum no

. Believe it or not you only have to press another 2 keys for the proper word.
