Actually, I bet you're pretty close. I'm sure manufacturers have tons of old drives sitting around and are looking for creative ways to get rid of them. Enter, the 40 gig PS3. I was checking out info on some of Sony's camcorders the other day and one of the pictures had a cutaway of the camcorder. It was a hard disk model and I was shocked to see a laptop size drive inside. I assumed they all used the smaller 1.8" models used in ipods, etc. since that is what I would have designed a small camcorder around (and for the price, it seems like you should be getting a physically smaller drive as those camcorders aren't cheap). Anyway, I guess it's better they sell them somehow, but I honestly don't imagine hard drive manufacturers actually starting up the manufacturing lines to produce 40 gig hard drives anymore.
