Parece ser que no están convencidos, los directivos de SSCEE, de que el modelo de 40GB sea suficiente. La verdad es que si cada juego hay que instalarlo, para que no tenga un rendimiento inferior al esperado, y te ocupa 3-8 GB... pues hasta 250GB se le quedarían cortos a alguno

Sony considering external PS3 hard drive?

SCEE boss David Reeves has admitted he is unsure if Sony will stick to offering only the 40GB PS3 unit.

Speaking to Eurogamer, he hinted towards the possibility of introducing official external hard drives as he delivered his vision of consumer storage choice.

"We launched with 60GB and to reduce the price we went to 40GB. We're not sure we want to stay with that configuration of hard drive, and I think what you're going to see in the future is maybe consumers can choose," Reeves told Eurogamer.

"The PlayStation will stay the same, but consumers can choose whichever size of hard drive they want. They can now, or course, because it's not a proprietary hard drive."

"It might be that we will offer the possibility for people to have a bigger hard drive, but they have that option now. But it does not mean that we have anything in the works to introduce a different model or bigger hard drive built in," added Reeves.

You can plug external hard drives into the PS3 using a USB cable attachment, as Reeves pointed out, as well as buy 2.5 inch SATA (laptop) hard drives and swap them with the one inside your console.

The key in all of this for Sony is simplicity, because it knows that works. It also has a very low system failure rate and is in no rush to upset it.

"We've played the games with the hardware, with different hard drives and things like that, and we want to keep it very, very simple. We know that works," said Reeves.

"We've got a very, very low return rate on the machines that are out; we've got a great supplier, so we'll keep that simple. We're just going to play the tunes with the games, both at retail and online."

si es que no tiene ni sentido la noticia ya que el disco duro en la ps3 es mandatory y la consola tiene que venir con alguno, aunque sea de 4 gigas. Por tanto el pagar por unos discos USB normales y corrientes pero que en la caja ponga BY SONY pues me parece perfecto, siempre que no le apliquen un 200% de recargo por el articulo 33.

Estos han visto "otras" tacticas de negocio y se quieren apuntar al carro del beneficio al mínimo esfuerzo.

Conmigo poco negocio van a hacer, seguire con mis dos Lacie Porsche y lo próximo será un NAS con webserver y DLNA embebido que para algo me he pegado la currada de cablear media casa con red gigabit (cable y automatismos cat6), el lunes me llega el switch.

Lo que tienen que hacer de una puñetera vez todos es aceptar discos formateados con NTFS u otros sistemas, tengo dos discos en cajas externas que no puedo enchufar porque no me los reconoce ninguna puñetera consola...

Aquí hay un tema que nunca comentamos.

Es fácil cambiarle el disco duro a la PS3? Por supuesto, no tiene misterio. No tiene misterio para alguien que haya trasteado un mínimo con un PC. Podrá un usuario completamente "casual" y sin experiencias previas cambiarlo? Sí, pero otra cosa es que se atreva o lo vea como una opción. Si a la gente le cuesta hasta instalar algo USB en un PC... dile que haga un backup, que cambie el HD, restaure datos...

Y son estos los que van a notar, a la larga, que 20, 40, 60 y 80GB se quedan cortos si cada juego requiere instalación.
