The HardDisk Drive price will be.... (info inside)

Bunch of loonies they are (damn Yoda).  Just because Japanese gamers like it doesn\'t mean other places will.  Personally I would rather go out and get a GC for about the same price.

then do so, you will be in the minority

Naw I don\'t think so.  Japanese gamers would be more likely to get it than most, atleast I would think so.

About 1/3 what a usual FF titles launches...the initial hype will be gone and now they have to keep those 400,000+ people.

I take it you\'re joking...RPG\'s are not as popular in the US or UK as they are in Japan.  Add to that an Add-on and pay per month (or is it per play?)...

What else besides FFXI will attract gamers to this Add-on?

any game that will take advantage of it
speak in numbers, thier\'s 30 million + PS2\'s out there
even if only 20% go for it, thats 6 million HHD\'s *gulp*

MJPS, i should have said "so far", the HDD in a console is a gimmick
sure one xbox game actually take use of loading levels into secondary memory [halo], and if you wait 20 minutes, you can rip a music cd onto it for about 3-4 games that actually let you use that feature

Once again my predicting capabilities prove true.  Price Drop on games.

100 pound, thats like over 140$ (rough guess) U.S..  Way to much money for me and I doubt it will get very many buyers.  The fact that you have to pay already just to play FFXI and now this.  I don\'t see FFXI doing very well at all.

It says $80.. thats €100 (EURO).. The pound looks like this £!

Ohhhhhhhhh :rolleyes:

Timesplitter 2 (for online play and Maps)
Socom Navy Seals (for online play and Maps)
FFX (for quicker Loading times)
FF 12 (if square does another one then i am sure they will take advantage of the HDD)

but me personally FFXI dose it for me.

How big is the HDD?

I know what I look like, I just wasn\'t all there.  Wait I thought Euro was worth more than U.S. dollar.  Well if its that cheap maybe it will do good then.
