not sure.  But I'm also not surprised people are buying HDD's instead of games for their PS3

does it matter if it's SATA/150? whatever the fuck that means.  i was reading that the PS3 maxes out at 250gb anyway, so i might as well get a jump on it considering my 20gb is getting filled with MANDATORY INSTALLS :heartbeat.

No. that does not matter. Just make sure it's not parallel ATA.  The 150 refers to the communication rate, 1.5 Gbps.
