Sale good condition of PS2HDD!
The 10,000 first time is receiving [ be / it ] a shipped part by sellout on present July 27.

"PS2HDD" to which precedence sale is performed by PlayStation.com sold out 10,000 first time parts of dispatch on July 19. Shipped reservation is received in present PlayStation.com on July 27.
It is precedence sale of the experiment purpose this time. And since 10,000 sets were sold in spite of the price setup of a large sum as peripheral equipment, the height of the concern to PS2 user\'s HDD is imagined. Those who are still straying may also say applying to this opportunity."

Has sony gone and done it agian,are they going to prove us all wrong agian?

the HDD itself is about 100$.

the eithernet card is 49.99$.

so the bundle would cost 150$ , but the hdd is 100,

this is great news, for addons, and your right eviscration, it has tons of potential,

and am i right that this was for japan?

They have a mouse, a keyboard, a digital camera, and they\'re coming out with an LCD display.

Could this truly be a sign that the hard-drive could actually succeed?

Of course not, kiddies. 10 000 is a VERY small number in the gaming world, the HD will have to sell a lot more than that to make profit.

It really doesn\'t surprise me that 10 000 people pre-ordered one, because 10 000 is not a very big number! I\'m surprised any of you are actually startled over this.

Bottom line- this is no sign of the HD succeeding.

Man!!!  It\'s going to be hard to get an import model now!  I hope that they release some more soon.

I wonder how many pre-ordered...

If about 500 000 pre-orderd that would be a very good sign :)

10 000 doesnt really tell us that much..
But at least its good news.. :)

I agree, plus it will not do that well over here in the states.
