No HD for PS3 ?

piss on  "downloadable content", it\'s a gimmick

true it\'s a gimmick but it\'s the new hotness.

I would like to see A HDD available some time soon after or on launch,  but, I dont see much use for it,  at least not yet.  

Consoles still lag far behind PCs when it comes to having downloadable content ready available on the web.  If PS3 did include  A HDD I doubt you would find any 3rd party sites to download extra cars/tracks.  Polyphony Digital may release a few tracks to download and a few cars but I dont think it will be anything like the PC world which has thousands of 3rd party guys making tracks planes cars etc.


So what would you need a HDD for?  MMORPGS?  I think thats about it.  

Now that I think about it,  there really is no need for a HDD for consoles except for internet use,  and if you have a PC then why use your console?  If I could save my game files from my PC games to a floppy disk I wouldnt need a HDD even for PC games.  HDD is overrated and rarely used/needed.  I\'m sure if XBOX didnt have it nobody would care that PS3 doesnt have it.

I\'m sure if XBOX didnt have it nobody would care that PS3 doesnt have it.

give that man a prize

This will change in time.

I was pleasantly surprised to read the 360 will come with an HD.  I don\'t have to purchase a memory card, and if I ever choose to participate in the market place or take advantage of downloadable content then I\'ll be ready without having to buy something extra.  I\'ll defintely be taking advantage of the Xbox Live free weekends.

Nintendo and the Revolution; I believe I read that we\'ll be able to download every game made for a Nintendo console going all the way back to the NES.  I don\'t know about you but I could name about 30 games that I will be interested in downloading, and that\'s just off the top of my head.  I doubt a 512 MB memory card will suffice.  I\'ll be a happy gamer if the Revolution comes with a HD, and if it doesn\'t then I won\'t be so happy but I\'ll buy one anyway.

I don\'t see any reason why Sony should include an HD.  What they\'ve revealed thus far doesn\'t warrant the addition or purchase of a HD.

Since ps3 won\'t have an hdd. I guess you will have to use a ps1,ps2, and ps3 memory cards. Instead of using the hdd to save all games on the drive.

like we dont have them already
:rolleyes:

I dont see why people hate memory cards so much. They arent that hard to keep track of really. That and for those that arent antisocialists that just sit at home by theirselves playing online the whole time, you can take your saved data to a friends house. Sounds queer but if i remember correctly, it was all those xbox fanboys that were poking and prodding at the ps2 for only having 2 controller ports.

I hate deleting data from mem cards when I need to make a new save.  It was a real PITA when I was wanting to save several key spots in RE4.  I was limited to 3 saves.  Felt like I was playing Zelda for the NES all over again.

It\'s simply more convenient to have it all in one place.  I HATED keeping track of all my VMU\'s for my DC.  My PS and PS2 memory cards are full, and instead of buying another one I\'ve been giving my Gamecube and Xbox more attention.  No sense in paying $20-30 on a memory card when I can buy a game or two with that money.  

Oh, and as far as taking the saved data elsewhere, the 360 HD is removeable.

HD = teh win, imo.

VMU wasnt just a memory card
it had great potential, but pooly engineed and implimented

Who the hell wants to carry a damn HD around? Not to mention you cant have 2 running at the same time thus not being able to load your data and whoever else\'s data at the same time. Consider having both and only taking off the data you need off the HD. Much better than taking off your HD.

Anyway, HD\'s are nice and all but im all fine and good with my memory cards.

Agreed. I loved the idea behind the VMU

The 360 HD is not very big.  It\'s no more a hassle than taking a game and/or memory card to a friend\'s house.

only like 10x the size and weight
