Harddrives, 640GB PS3 for 90$ and 60GB 360 for 100$

640GB

60GB

:lol: I feel almost sorry for 360 owners. oh well they chose to get milked by M$

That's insane.

You'll never need more than 120GB on a console, no need to upgrade to a 640GB. For example, my PS3 has a 120GB HDD, and i've got 71GB left.

Would be nice if you could use a huge external hdd for the 360, but being m$ they decided consumers would have to pay these insane prices for their hdd.

Damn, that is a lot. Might get my self a Terrabyte later on for 120.

The $299 Elite system already comes with a 120GB HDD.

Remind me of why I need to spend $100 for half the space of my default HDD again? :?

Well, that's how to make money boys and girls.

I have a 20 gig 360 harddrive (that's got plenty of room left). I have a 1 terabyte external for my movies and music. Remind me what the problem is again?locopatho

OMG 640 gigs for $100 is overkill....but I'm sure I would fill that sucker up with games music and videos galore.

I remember there were some people making fun of the 360 having a 250gb hard drive, saying who needs all that "gigsters", then the PS3 introduced their 250gb too, lol. Anyway, upgrading your PS3 hard drive with larger storage space using any compatible hard drives is a plus. I mean the PS3 have more games with mandatory game installs so that's a good thing.

That's nice. I use my external HDD for that. :)The_Game21x

I could do that too! :x

I could easily have a 1TB PS3 (500GB internal, 500GB external)!

I could even go beyond that and have a 8.72TB PS3 (1TB x 8, 720GB internal)!

Well if any more MMOs are released for it I can easily see a problem since installing FFXI on a 20gig HDD leaves roughly 3-4Gigs left on my HDD. Meaning I can only have an extra 1-2 demos on it and if I rent movies from the marketplace sometimes I have to get the SD version because I don't have room for HD. I think there is a problem with the HDD cost and it should be lowered. It is quite sad when the cost of a new HDD is a third of the cost of the machine. Almost worth it to just save a little more and have a backup xbox 360 with 120gig HDD.

If the aftermarket HDDs are so popular with PS3 owners, why doesn't Sony just keep the PS3 HDD at around 60 GB and lower the price of the PS3? Why do they keep coming out with bigger HDDs for the PS3?

The slim boosted sales of the PS3, so I think the number of people replacing the HDD must be rather small. Therefore, I don't see this a significant advantage for most PS3 owners. Heck, I haven't even filled my 80GB MGS4 PS3, yet.

Well, don't feel sorry for them. They had the same choice us PS3 owners did.

They just chose wrong.

i could fill 640 easily :P altho i do get by on 40gb cause im fortunate to have my laptop hooked up as a media server.Only thing that could bother me in the future might be rock band dlc space.

Besides extra space is always nice cause i would prolly use my PS3 and download a lot more even tho virgin media would prolly throttle my bandwith if i went nuts.

The 299 Elite system comes with a 120gb HD, more than you'd ever need in a console.

640gb in a home consoleis a huge waste.

If you need a drive to store movies / pictures / lossless music on buy an external drive, like every other sane person does.

WRONG! I have a 40 gig HDD and its not nearly enough, I don't even have any music, pictures or movies on it, just demos and installs:x

No, if the were "nice", they would have kept the HDD at around 60 GB and pricedthe Slimmuch lower than $299.

Whoever keeps saying that you only need x amount of GBs obviously doesn't have a lot of stuff to put on their HDD in the first place. For someone like me who has over 50 PSN games and a dozen PSone classics to go along with demos, installs, music, pictures, themes, videos of all kind, etc I need a big HDD.

So glad I upgraded to 320GB and who knows by the end of the gen I'll prolly need to upgrade some more.

I hope you're not excusing getting charged over 300% standard cost for a harddrive.

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="killzowned24"] that 20 gigs is really only like 13 gigs and is not enough at all. great deal showing again why PS3 is best.killzowned24

Some games run much worse if they aren't installed also. The movies on the last mission for mass effect2 stuttered constantly on my first playthrough. After I installed the disk and did it again it ran perfectly.
