This is whats wrong with my PS3 so this company reckon a new hard drive is needed and charge £40. Is that alright? Otherwise what else would I do, or should I even trust a company like this?

The ps3 hdd is just a laptop hdd, you can pick up a 500gb one for £50 now and takes 5 mins in install and only 1 screw, so see what size they are installing and if its worth it for the price.

Oops I was meant to post a link to the companies site explaining what was wrong with it and the charge.

Basically when you turn it on the menu doesnt fully load it just comes up with a black screen with the waves in the background which according to this company means I need a new hard drive.

Do a new one yourself, as has been said above you can get one for about the same cost with a much larger capacity.

For example:

Is the hard drive definitely the problem then? and is it that easy to replace?

Peice of cake to replace buddy.

But not sure if it's the actual fault as you have asked.

£24 120gb http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150516
you need to have a usb stick with the firmware on it i think, but as far as changing the hdd it literally is one screw they were designed to be user replaceable
