HD-Less PS3?

Posted by Zonk on from the because-no-hd-really-failed-them-last-time dept.

GamesIndustry.biz has the story that, for the time being, Sony is planning on releasing their next generation console without a hard drive bundled into the package. From the article: "However the company has never said that a hard disk would be bundled with the unit at launch, and Chatani's comments this month seem to suggest it's erring toward not including one - and perhaps offering the peripheral optionally in the same way it currently sells Memory Card units separately from PlayStation 2."

    But I want the ability to put my OWN hard drive in there, of my choosing, without having to buy additional equipment (except for said hard drive, of course). Sony's trying chance to sell a 40GB hard disk for the PS2 at a price of 199$ is and was ridiculous. I mean, FFS, I have hard disks just kicking around my room.

    Also, will I be able to put savegames on the hard drive? Will I be able to near-seamlessly move them onto a Memory Card?
