Clueless...

"The bad news for storage-hungry PS3 fans is that, so far, Sony has only confirmed a launch date – 17 December - for the 250GB model in its native Japan."

Everyone knows, surely, that you can fit whatever size HDD you want. The handbook shows you how to do it, and it does not affect your warranty,,,

a 500GB PS3 upgrade is £60. (Western Digital Scorpio 2.5in SATA 500GB)

Want one

I'm not at all into Final Fantasy, I'd upgrade the HDD to 500GB anyway, but still... I WANT ONE!

Why is it?

Why is it that Sony always seem to be announcing things after Microsoft have already announced them?

More PS3 news.

1m PS3 Slim sold in 3 weeks...

Microsoft and Nintendo crap their pants...

Bundles are just about a reasonable deal.

£35 for an extra 130GB seems okay, especially if it comes with two budget games / a full priced game / especially two bluray movies and a remote. But only just.

500GB

I have a 500gb drive in my PS3, I had to get a new drive after filling the 60gb no problem with games, demos, music and films.

@MarkOne (unsurprisingly)

I doubt that Microsoft will give a flying fuck, with the release of Halo ODST likely to boost sales very nicely for them.
