PlayStation3 HDD To be Sold Separately - Official News
Sony's global website confirms that the flip-flopping hard drive will be sold separately...
By Jon WilcoxPosted: 14/02/2006
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 if activision goes the ps3 will start to look like the sega saturn or the dreamcast (supprisingly both sega consoles lost developers cause sony was throwing it money around now it looks like the same fate is happening to sony thanks to microsoft and nintendo),
just cause its the most powerfull dont meen its the best if that what all ps3 fanboys will say there all hypocrits when the first xbox was miles more powerfull than the ps2 yet the fanboys said the ps2 was better ???.
all i can say is hard luck and finally solid proof the ps3 isnt winning the next gen consoles.

I've had my PS2 for over 7 years. Still works like a charm, and I play it whenever I get a chance to. Sony makes quality products that last a very long time. When the PS3 goes down to $299.99, I'll be purchasing it. I want one now...but c'mon, $399.99!? Have mercy, Sony.

do you know something if sony had told the world gamers that gt 5 was not coming out until 2009/2010/2011 do you think they would have sold as many units ???? i think not.prologues my eye. waste of time and £22.95p.i bought mine on the day of release,it sits there gathering dust.what a waste of £500.but bet your bottom dollar when gt 5 does arrive you wont find a ps3 except on the bay for the price of a decent family car.develepors get your fingers out and release what i hope is going to be the best driving sim of all time.
