Sony's global website confirms that the flip-flopping hard drive will be sold separately...
The issue of whether the PlayStation3 will or will not come with a hard drive as standard has been flip-flopping ever since the console was unveiled at E3 2005. Since then reports that the storage device will be sold separately have been appearing both online and printed press, but official confirmation either way has not been made by Sony.
However, delving into the PlayStation global website and taking a look at the products list has revealed that the next-gen console will arrive sans-HDD, requiring gamers to purchase one separately instead.
It has to be said that the site (which is still copyright dated 2005) could have been displaying the detail for nearly twelve months, but the news comes better late than never.
Thanks to TVG reader Mehul Samani for the heads up.

but people have come to accept the rrod its been happening for years now unlike the yellow light of death thats not because of unreliable parts but due to a firmware update, is this an indication that sony had tried to overclock the ps3 and may have had a stable overclock but releasing a firmware update with the overclock included may have caused the trapped gas in the circuit boards.

Actually we can still complain about the RROD because the xbox has a 54 percent failure rate compared to the PS3's 14.7
OFF Topic: MAG will be pwnage

good point, but who's to say the complaints wont keep coming in? could easily be a majour fault in the system.
but i aint gettin called a fanboy again so ill stick with ur comment =) lets just hope sony can address the problem like microsoft did with the enw motherboards they were using

It's really a low failure rate when compared to Xbox's 45% failure rate in the earlier generations of systems.
A .5% deficiant rate is quite low and seems an acceptable rate for any product. It seems that if Sony can compensate these very few failures with replacement systems ect. then this would be a very small problem.
