PS3 does not use FAT32, there are no inherrient file size limits. There
WAS a issue a while ago, when DivX support was introduced, where the limit was 2GB for a DivX file, but the 2.20 firmware update added >2GB DivX support.

??? WAV (PCM) works just fine, you can't get more bit perfect than that!!!!
Yes, if you load Linux, you can play anything you want, FLAC, APE or whatever...

Internally you can fit a 2.5in SATA notebook drive, it does NOT void any warranties, the handbook explains how to do the process. The other, cheaper option, is to plug a USB HDD in, and store media on there. The only downside, is it's listed as a seperate "node" in the XMB you have to navigate to (think Windows drive letter), where the files on the internal drive are in the "root", not a deal breaker. The upside, is you can stuff a 2TB drive on the back for little money and have a mega media centre. Games and PSN downloads/DRM protected content can only live on the internal drive, not a USB drive.

No deals, the new 80GB models are out, for the same price of the old 40GB ones. You missed the awesome Walmart $399 with $100 voucher back deal. I doubt we will be seeing those prices for a very long time yet...
