Owning a console which allows the user to purchase and self-install a non-proprietary relatively inexpensive 2.5 SATA hard drive is NOT extreme. It's smart shopping. And I'm sure PlayStation extremists will be happy to spin that hard drive as well, enjoying those games.

Should be noted hard drives aren't essential for the 360 but mandatory for PS3.
360 users that don't have a hard drive but want to download things can just use USB memory sticks as well.

But any gamer would tell you that if you're going to buy an Xbox 360, you might as well go "big" and buy a 250GB version due to encroaching limitation with the 4GB version such as:

As a gamer, don't half-ass it, right?
And, yes you do have the option of buying an Xbox 360 PROPRIETARY USB such...

wait-wait-wait... you mean like any of these [ http://preview.tinyurl.com/3ltw5by ] "PROPRIETARY" USB sticks?

I would definitely tell people to, "half ass it." They can save $100 and the only big sacrifice is no online co-op campaign in Halo: Reach? Big deal. I wouldn't tell people to buy the hard drive unless I really think they're gonna utilize it. Most people don't.
Its more important that the PS3 use non-propritary hard drives because a hard drive is mandatory to use a PS3. You also need a lot of storage because of mandatory installs and big updates.

Okay, so I could made the claim that most 160GB PS3 users are only using it for gaming so they have little to no use for upgrading the hard drive. So therefore, it would make Pearljam's claim of:
"The other forces you to clutter up your HDD and waste several minutes, JUST to try the game. What if you want to go back to a game a few weeks later, but you already deleted the install data? What if the game sucks? You wasted time installing it for nothing, and now have to waste more time deleting it."
...invalid. So you buy you a 160GB PS3, and you're all set. So we're in agreeance. Good stuff, huh?

I'm sorry, I really have no idea what you're babbling about.
|
Well, I was hoping you would, but sometime turning a blind eye to double standards causes lack of understanding. But that's cool. You're not the only one reading these forums.

I think, and I can't be certain here but just run with me for a moment... but I think the reason why he has no idea what you're 'babbling' on about is because~ it is utter nonsence! You seem to have greatly misquoted somebody there in a feeble attempt at a retort.
what I think Mr Puggsly was getting at is that for some people 4GB storage is no issue what-so-ever because on the 360 there aren't any mandatory installs (atleast that i'm aware of) and the update and save files tend to be a poxy few MB. So unless they were going to get their 'Dragon Age' on (ofcourse refering to the rediculous size of the DA save files) they should really have no problem. And I think what you were getting at is that because the PS3 has many many games that do require an install invalidates somebodies claim that you have to install those games, and thus wait for those installs to finish before you can play said games... which to be fair I cannot see your point.

On a different note, unless I have missed something glaringly obvious 'double quoting' on this forum is NOT a doddle.
