you can now use a 3.5 drive. Which you can buy a 500gb for £100.

What a load of bullshit. Sony is dropping the 20gig model because they want you to drop a grand on your console, not 500$

There’s goes my hopes on a ps3 in 2007, maybe 08 will prove better for me.

I love sony, but to loosely quote Dave Chappelle:

“Man, SONY is fucking shit UP!”

So… I get that you can upgrade the HDD but what about all the people that don’t know about that and want the cheaper one? Like let’s say someone is buying a PS3 as a gift. Now they’re going to be forced to buy the more expensive one? It just seems like Sony is making all the wrong moves with this system. Maybe somehow in the end they’ll pull something out of their ass to make things all better.

wow
you do realize that the reason they are doing it is because you can open up the ps3’s and upgrade the harddrives, right?
and according to some people, it does not even void the warranty
