FFXIII rumor is probably true... and the ps3 achievements i think everyone already knows about.. if you dont know about it then yes the ps3 is getting an achievement system just like the 360... its getting achievements plus trophies.. plus home.. so it should be a really cool time for ps3 owners |
No hard drive is just a bad idea to begin with. Especially when they're trying to push things like DLC and such, not to mention the firmware and game updates.
As for the rumor itself, I find it kind of funny. If they would want to have a cheap system sans some features on the market, I think the 20gig was perfect for that. Not only could you replace the hard drive if you ran out of space, but you can also get around the lack of memory card slots by transfering things via your USB flash drive from your PC. Then, coupled with the things they've implemented to cut costs such as the laser diodes, Emotion Engine, and other improvements to the hardware (ex, 65nm CPU), it would be perfect for a low cost unit without all the other features.
