Not wanting to do something is ok by me as well. However, not wanting to do something and complaing about not getting the end product of that process is NOT ok by me.
Think abot this: back in the ps1 and ps2 era, storage was based on memory cards, space filled up really quickly with games like vagrant story using up 3 blocks out of 15 on ps1 and games like Drakan:the ancient gates using up 1.5mb out of 8 mb on the ps2. Space issues have always been a part of gaming but everyone just went out and bought new memory cards without complaining.
With that said, the TC's issue here is that he seems to expect that space would just be solved by default out of the box when the reality is that such an issue can't be solved and really depends on the user. My own ps3 (currently broken) has stuff on it approaching 140gb. This is partly because I had every demo on ps3 downloaded and a couple of movies on it as well. Do I have a right to blame sony that my original 60gb of space wasn't enough? There are legit "epic fails" from sony, this just isn't one of them IMO. My ps3 and yours (as it seems) breaking for the 2nd time would be legit "epic fails" not having to upgrade to a new HDD.
With the TC wanting to somehow have enough space for all he wants to do right out of the box, I don't think the 360 would have solved the problem for him (and especially not the wii where there is currently no solution) either because he never compalined about the process of swapping hdds, he only complained about not having enough space out the box.
It's all fair that the forum is about opinions but I don't believe in slamming others when the fault lies with yourself...just not right.
