Well, Woochifer I followed your advice and started a new thread to deal with the PS3.

I was at my local BestBuy to get some printer ink for my printer. While in line I was reading an article sponsered by BestBuy and IGN.com It was kind of a general holiday/upcoming tech issue showcasing new tech coming in the next few months.

Low and behold the New PS3 will not come with a Hard Drive. Thats right, its not an option like the 360, there will not be any to get period. They will be released later for a fine price I am sure.

So if you get your PS3, and you want to save anything...you gotta get a memory card. ($40 if history serves). And since the price is already speculated at the same as the xbox 360 premium ($399) your now going to be close to $500 with the box, 1 game and mem card.

I would argue that this will impact far more gamers than the lack of HDMI on the 360.

Any thoughts? Also it seems that the goal of the PS3 is to be an entertainment hub much like MS would like the 360 to be.

See here for some more info although there is plenty out there.
