Thats the one thing I love about the PS3 (and hate about the 360)
they where just worried that people did a original xbox and soft modded it easily i know you can mod a xbox 360 but not as easy as taking the drive out and using a simple program
i am surprised we dont here much about PS3 piracy i thought it would be easy to pirate i assume its all down to disk size tho! blu ray imagine trying to store a few of them on a HDD
the original PS2 had a hard drive bay which was cool and a lot of people hacked it easy too but it wasnt as common as the xbox one since that has a drive from the start
