No HD for PS3 ?
« on: June 16, 2005, 09:04:44 AM »
I know there was a thread like this in the console debating but it was closed...

well, Sony know what they do, maybe a PS3 with a built-in HD would be too expansive, and sure they put all the resources in what is the heart of the console, to make an ultra powerful piece of hardware with superior graphics and physics capabilities...or maybe a PS3 conceived with a built-in HD would have been less powerful.....you can\'t have a cake and eat it :D

what do you think?

I definately believe it was to cut costs, as Sony is gonna lose a ton of cash on each ps3 sold.  Plus this now forces everyone to buy a memory stick of some sort.  I\'m hoping that game saves can be saved to any of the multitude of card formats available as I have a nice 512 MB SD card that I could use.

I think it will have the option to allow a SONY ONLY external HD. Sony makes tons and tons of cash off its console peripherals. Then Madkatz will reverse engineer it and sell their own version....and later, some other company will make an adaptor for the PS3 to read from any external HD and probably PC\'s HD as well.

It\'s not a step backwards coz Xbox\'s built in HD wasn\'t a huge leap forward either since not that many games utilized its full potential.

BTW...JBean cut me off the I-695 last week. Ban him.

all the resources to get the best CPU/GPU with incredible graphycs and physics capabilities, I\'m happy with this, and if I have to be honest, not many XBox games took full advantage of the built-in HD, and most of all, most PS2 users never regreted so much a built-in HD...

Stop trying to justify it so bad.  It\'s not a HUGE loss but if they included a tiny HD with the PS3 I wouldn\'t have to worry about buying another $25 memory card when my saves fill up.

I enjoyed loading games and all my songs on my hdd for xbox.
And all the downloadable content for xbox live makes having a hdd a must.

I guess ps3 online will suck as much as ps2 online.

If they can make it not suck this time, I\'ll be fine with it. Ratchet & Clank online was pretty fun. I don\'t like online console gaming that much either.

I don\'t think that\'s possible.

I like Tetris Live. But whenever the power blinks my game adapter resets and I never remember how to reconfigure it without sitting on hold with the tech people forever. So I haven\'t been able to use it for months.

Still getting billed though, I\'m sure.

There is noway you will be able to save all the downloadable content without a hdd. Like NG had the hurricane packs. Without an hdd where would you save it at?

memory card = 2small
