Its the storage device for your console. I dont have a PS3 but I have a 360 and im guessing its the same thing for all consoles. Just for storing memory and downloads and stuff like that.

It does the same thing that a hard drive does with your computer or any other device: It stores all the stuff (demos, saved files, etc, etc...) In general, any file...

You can download Warhawk from the PS Store and other 'arcade'-like games as Stardust, Everyday Shooter and so on.

The PS3 can play MP3, Attrac+ and WMA; as well as .mp4 and .divx videos. You can also store songs, and transfer your PS2 save data to the HDD.

You need to get an adapter to transfer data from a PS1 or PS2 memory card to your HDD.

You can also upgrade your hard drive from 60GB to whatever size you want.

For Example: You get a 500GB hard drive and swap it with your 60GB, which is insane and really unnecessary, unless you a hard core gamer like some people I know.

I want to make that, but just to store more music. Sometimes, i like better use the PS3 browser (when my PC doesn't work, or just 'cause i'm lazy to turn it on) and play some music.

I have the 80 GB PS3 system... but let me tell ya... I've never had more than 20 GB on my hard drive at any given time. The games that require you to install data can ahve said data removed without harming your save file, so in reality, theres no point in having anything bigger than a 40 GB, unless you're going to download everything in the PS Store and put movies and music on your system (which I don't see the point of doing since most people have a computer, anyway). But yeah... anyway... Oh look! Pie!
