I'm still trying to figure out why someone who is so negatively positioned against the PS3 is trying to form an opinion about something he/she really doesn't care to know anything about.

The PS3 can take any laptop drive out there if anyone desires more space, and since the 500GB are hitting the market 5GB is just a drop in the bucket. SURE some people dont want to upgrade or dont care too, but any PS3 owner can tell you that deleting the system data for unused or unplayed games is no big deal at all. Why?

1) unused space is wasted space. Delete it and voila you can open up room.

2) Deleting the system data doesn't delete the saved data for any game on the PS3. So, removing the system data doesn't ruin your stats or progress.

3) most of the heavy space that fills a PS3 is most assuredly -demos- and those are always available for download again. Delete them at your leisure.

SO! It seems to me that really the only people that have a problem with this 5GB install are people -without- a PS3. Kinda strange dont you think?

That's a convenient means of dodging the issue. "It doesn't bother me and the three other PS3 owners in this thread, so its not a problem."

You see the problem here isn't whether or not this bothers pre-existing PS3 owners, but how this will affect the appeal of the PS3 for people who would have considered buying one in the future. And that's the real issue here. Though I'm sure you'll tell yourself that only people who would have never bought one in the first place find this to be troubling, I'm sure you know deep down inside that's a damned lie.


 It seems like you are the one that refuses to acknowledge the points that he has used to counter your charges against the ps3. He and others with experience with the ps3 have pointed out how they deal with the supposed "problems" that you are trying to point out.

In your second paragraph you seem to concede but then change the topic to how now its not a problem for current ps3 owners but for those that are considering getting the ps3. Don't worry us ps3 owners will do our best to educate all of those that require any and all info on the ps3.

And it seems obvious that regardless of what the ps3 does it will never satisfy you especially considering you don't even own a ps3 so how could it. You just seem to love attacking the ps3 and when someone intellegently and with evidence counters your arguement you complain about something else.

 


My argument is not that people won't know how to solve this problem but that the solutions are not what gamers want! Quit dancing in circles. What of substance have you offered to counter a single one of my points? Nothing. Your reply paints its own weakness in your need to try and make this about me, not the debate. The fact of the matter is..

The two solutions offered by your peers are not acceptable and hurt the PS3's appeal as a console. That is the problem. Not that people won't know about these solutions or won't know how to do these solutions, but that they're something your average gamer doesn't want to deal with.

Notice how you do nothing whatsoever to back up any of the arguments defending the PS3 either, you instead vaguely dance around the specifics and try to once again lay burden of proof on my shoulders when it clearly lies on yours. You can claim I am someone who will gripe about the PS3 regardless, but that doesn't change the fact that you and everyone defending the PS3 here are well known fanboys by that same token who will defend the PS3 no matter the issue.
