Last time I checked $80US for a half decent 40 gig Harddrive for a PC would be considered cheap (Well at least here in Australia). For bottom of the range 40 gig 5400rpm $140Aus (around $70US).

Don\'t worry about it 420blunt, mm talks a bunch of crap that he usually can\'t back up anyway...you\'ll learn to ignore him as you will with Chrono, clowd, and sometimes seven...

Word

I\'m just saying I am buying a console to give something PC cant offer. This hard drive BS has got to go. You know I\'m actually happy for XBox being there so that maybe it can force Sony to drop its price on accessories some more.

Im happy for console online gaming and looking forward to it, but an extra 200 bucks to spend on it is just not going to fly with me and most ppl that own PS2. I might end up selling PS2 and getting GC instead.

no one is forcing you to buy the harddrive.. but if you want to play MMORPG games, such as Final Fantasy XI you will need it..

no other type of game will require it (at least not in the immediate future), so you can play TM: Online, TimeSplitters 2, Socom, Madden 2003, Resident Evil Online and many many other games for just the $40 for the adapter..

Cheap? Well I don\'t know where you richboys come from but that is some serious dough right there. I hope there will be just a giant bundle for like 100 bucks at the max.

Why do you exagerate the HDD\'s price? Arent you already spending $15 for an ISP? I cant believe you even added a PS2 game in that. Do you expect to play that free online x box game that they will give you forever?

Simple fact is pay once with Sony and its free after that. I cant believe people are complaining about paying the ISP. If it was x box it would be $15 plus $10.

(blunt420) I cant believe you called mm an asshole. Do you know who your talking to?

I\'m curious as to where you got these numbers...the 15 plus 10?

« **Reply #22 on:** May 23, 2002, 02:41:26 PM »

$15 ISP + $10 x box live fee

« **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2002, 02:43:56 PM »

Ummmm, correct me if I\'m wrong but won\'t Xbox Live be the ISP?!? It is a dedicated server, I don\'t see why I would need to put it on another server...

There are other leisures in life like going out (100 dollar nights here in NYC), drugs, weed, girls, clothes..etc.

So STFU. You are an asshole.

You live in New York City. Big deal if you make a lot of money. You need it just to survive. You\'re just cheap.

And 80 bucks is nothing. You probably spend that in one night or at least one weekend of going out. Big deal.

"Boy you must be the coolest guy since you smoke weed. Something tells me your some little kid trying to act cool."

Something tells me you are some straight edge dork that is just jealous. Sorry if you live in corny ass suburbia.

I just spent about 400 on PS2, mem card and 4 games. I still need to buy an extra memory card and a controller and I think that spending more on HDD and Adapter should be minimal. 80-100 bucks on a harddrive is just too much. I heard its like a 40GB too and seems a bit excessive. The hardrive should definitely come with a game.

It has nothing to do with being cheap but just spending your money wisely. Obviosly half of you are spoiled kids so you cannot relate. As much as I love PS2, if these online costs get too high, goodbye PS2. I seriously doubt I would ever get an Xbox, but GC is a definite possibility if they can refrain from charging so much for all these necessary accessories.

« **Reply #29 on:** May 24, 2002, 09:21:08 PM »

You\'re argument on accesories is completely legitimate

I myself will get them but I also have solid income and I\'m a PS2 whore. Plus Sony\'s online plans are the ebst of the 3 consoles IMO

but there are alot of people who will not

why some meatheads here think that people shouldn\'t feel upset at the prices of accesories is clouded in there inability to actually grasp the reality that there is MORE to do then just play videogames

but most of us will scrape together the dough. I will and can\'t wait
