umm..

I'm fine with paying $600 for the PS3 but I AM NOT PAYING $150 to pre-order it.

Thats a nice shiny pic of the PS3 I must say.

mmm, yeah the 20 gig version isnt too bad but I want that extra space and HDMI. Dont care too much for the Wi-Fi and card reader.

You wont need to pay $150 deposit, thats for the UK only, and is a third consoles price over here

Whats the different, you'll end up paying 600 bucks when you get your console. Your not going to have to pay 150 to preorder then another 600 bucks when you get the console.

you would pay $150 to preorder, and then $450 once you get it...

umm..why?

umm.. how the ***** needs 60gigs for games saves, Music i hear you say? whats the point? so you can carry your huge ass ps3 everywhere you go listing 2 ur tunes sorry but thats what a ipods for, the only good use for a 60gig hard drive is 2 put iso's on it, Sonys just asking 4 it

From my understanding, the biggest use of HDD space amoungst 360 owners is for trailers and mostly game demos (where some are over 1GB in size). Hence 20GB can be filled pretty quickly for gamers who download a lot of demos, and therefore 60GB or more would be idea. Both the PS3 and 360 feature detachable HDDs, so expect HDDs larger than 60GB to be available in future (I believe it will be relatively easy for you to use your own 2.5" HDD in the PS3 btw).

no use...except for iso's

lets face it. who the hell is going to fill a 60 gig HDD with games demos and music. all that HDD is going to be used for is iso's as soon as the f/w is hacked ( wont take long judging by psp) iso's are going to be springing up everywhere. security will probably be tighter on ps3 if sony learnt their lesson but all the HDD is doing is making the specs look good. they know it will be hacked sonner rather than later. ok, i think that the HDD is a nice feature to have but no-one is going to fill it with legal content (even pirated music will be used) i have no doubt that it will be running iso's before its first month off the shelves (they may as well install a default ISO folder on the HDD)

I remember similar being said about the XBox - "8GB? Who the hell's going to fill all of that space", and yet gamers DID. The XBox 260 has 20GB, and already you have gamers filling all the space available, such that they have to delete files before they can download new demos. 60GB WILL be filled by gamers in the same way and with legal files. Just because you may not fill all of that space doesn't mean other gamers will not. 8GB on the XBox wasn't filled by every gamer, 20GB on the 360 isn't filled by every gamer, 60GB will not be filled by every gamer, but it WILL be filled by many.
