What Ken Kutaragi appears to have said was that the PS3 will have 54GB of storage Capacity in addition to playing DVDs and CDs. Since Bluray can hold 25/50GB one assumes he is alluding to the inclusion of an onboard HDD or flash memory device.
This was useful when i was buying a laptop.. compaq has 3d models of theirs available. It answers the question of 'where does this go, and will that be in the way' without having to go into a store. Its just like the panoramic interior views that car mfrs have on their websites.
While you can't hold the item in your hand.. looking at a 3d model gives you a much greater feel for the product than even a whole gallery of images. It probally takes slightly less bandwidth as well.
