PS3 80GB memory question

[Blade Runner]

Hey everyone,

I got a 80GB PS3 and I was checking out the free memory and it says I have 59GB free out of 74GB, but I only have Home installed so far, and I have one 1.9GB download in progress, is this normal?

Thanks.

home reserves 3GB or so, its counting the 1.9GB already so thats 5GB total, add 10GB for the XMB and filesystem which makes it about right I believe.

(I'm pretty sure on any size PS3 10GB is reserved already)

Thanks mate

Yes..I'm sure mine was about that too. Sounds right.

I was a bit worried at first, I was down to 54GB free at one point because I had loads of pending downloads. I was looking at the download status through the PSN store menu and it was on 0% so I kept starting new ones without knowing
