Buy your own 500GB hard drive and stick it in. 

That's what I did with my PS3. Just look up the model number of the system & see what size (actual physical size hard drive) your PS3 takes & buy you one. I got mine on Amazon for around $50 & it was a Seagate too, one of the best.

 

Also, you can watch videos on Youtube on how to replace hard drives in PS3s, that's how I learned :)

 

Now as for backing up your data, just buy a USB flash drive & you can back up all your data there, just go to the Playstation website & it will show you how.

Yeah it's made to be upgraded, you don't need to open the whole console.

 

The 12GB PS3 is the newer slim console though I think, I think that needs a mounting bracket accessory that is sold by Sony (it's a budget model so they've cut corners). The one thing I can be certain of is - the people in the Sony Center will have no idea about any of it, they are just salesmen paid to sell MP3 players and TVs.
