How come Sony doesn't sell one of those easy peasy HDD transfer cables like for the Xbox 360?

Because Sony doesn't sell harddrives either. Microsoft sells extremely overly-expensive harddrive upgrades for people to waste money on and then are kind enough to sell you an overly expensive cable to help you transfer the data.

A 60gig MS HDD is more expensive than a 320Gig WD Scorpio Black 7200 RPM drive that takes all of 90 seconds to install in your PS3.

I take it your a little miffed on the upgrade solution for the xbox360 for Harddrive upgradeability?

yea do I think it's a little crappy? you be do.

I think Microsoft could have made the Harddrive can that connect's to the xbox360 at the top be opened so you could do that upgrade your self . yes you bet.

but since Microsoft's own software need's to be on the Harddrive in the partition, I can understand why they do it that way,

do i care for it much. no but I understand why they do it that way.

the XBOX360 is a good unit that is one of the only real fault's I find with it. but that is just me being a tech in the PC field .

Its just incredibly easy to save all of your stuff and the need to upgrade at all has diminished ever since the Xbox 360 and PS3 both started coming standard with 120GB HDDs. Fewer people even need to do it, and the price for ease of use is expense.
