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.
