personally would prefer to add my own hd. Having a hd would add costs and most likely if you bought your own drive, it would be cheaper and probably more larger then if u got one with the ps3.

That\'s what Sony wants you to do anyways. They don\'t want to limit anyone to a certain amount of storage to begin with. When Kutaragi talked about storage space, he said "It\'s never enough." That, and the talk of Linux running on PS3. You don\'t want to end up with a 20 Gig hard drive when you need 180 or something.

i\'m still a sony whore and will probably only have a ps3 out of all the next gen consoles, but I just thought sony was smarter than that.  Something that is NOT included with the system will NOT be completely supported and utilized.

That is, and will continue to be, the problem.

Wonder if games can benefit from loading on a HD that\'s considered an add-on?  I hope so.

Anyhow they should have just thrown in a small laptop HD for gamesaves at the least.  I hate dealing with memory cards.

They do with ps2, Increased loading times, and i\'m not talking a small increase..  I just wish you could save your save games on them via the browser or the games themselves.

If by doing this, will get the PS3 retail price below (or just below) Xbox360 price, then I\'m all for it.

What happened to X360 having an optional HDD?

As if the current Xbox had its HD utilized by every game.

If you\'re going to spam, continue doing so in off-topic. Leave all your lame jokes and redundant posts in there.

It\'s annoying enough to read through off-topic and see all your one-liners that have nothing to do with anything than to have to come to every other forum and see it as well.

And Sammy wasn\'t joking.

umm, i doubt he\'s making a funny. You\'ve been posting mad for awhile now. Nearly every thread has u posting every few posts. You trying to get a higher post count or something!

You guys are both retards. I didn\'t know there was a post limit these days. Why would I be trying to increase my post count? Are you a post Nazi now? Get over it. Seriously.

Everyone here makes short posts. It\'s nothing new. We\'ve all been doing it for years. You\'re just singling me out for no particular reason. How about getting back to the topic now?

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on June 14, 2005, 03:58:37 PM
dood, 3 people saying the exact same thing isn\'t my idea of singling you out.. You have a problem, the first step to getting help is to admit you have a problem..

then go to http://www.cantstopposting.com and get some help.  It\'s a serious problem.

You need to get a life. I really don\'t come on here much. You think I post a lot because of some crazy  "pattern" that you see, when in reality, I post very little. I stopped posting frequently 5 years ago, dude. Remember when this forum was full of life back then? And yes, you\'re singling me out, and you need to get over it. You\'ve been ragging on me starting about a week ago, and it\'s really getting old. Find something else better to do with your time and let it go. Grow up. We had disagreements in another thread, and I think that\'s what started it all.

If that\'s the case, you\'re holding a grudge that needn\'t be held. I have nothing against you, like I\'ve said before, so stop acting this way. Really.

Do u have tunnel vision or selective hearing or something?

The 3 people that commented were 3 people that I\'ve had confrontations with over the years...it\'s not a coincidence they would add their 2 cents. Especially Bobo, who hates me for the fun of it.

And about posting too much:

http://psx2central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36707

First 4 posts and 3 are yours. Drop the posting too much thing. You do this all the time. If I post too much fine, we\'re both guilty of being post bitches...who cares? There\'s not enough posting in these forums anyway.

I\'m not special, I\'m just trying to guess why you\'ve been persistently commenting on my posts that have nothing to do with you.

I\'m closing this. I don\'t mind if you too want to have at it, just do it in a different part of the forums. ;]
