| Aj_habfan said: I don't get why Sony is raping our hard drives with these downloads, while not selling their own seperate hard drive. Microsoft does this, charging a fortune, and it sells - there is a major market of PS3 users looking to upgrade that are going elsewhere. The accessory market has huge margins, and I think Sony is missing out here. |
From a corporate stand point i get that, but as a consumer unless it had a nice benefit such as being able to wirelessly sync with a pc or psp/psvita, i would not be intrested in buying their "margin rich" over price HDD, when i can get 1.5 or 3 tb HDD for $100-$130.
Non the less, i think sony wants to implement a bigger cloud service to go along with Plus. they make more money selling PS+ and just offer cloud service, vs manufactuering or distrubting off a third party, external HDD. PS plus is pure margin of $17 to $50 everytime they sell it. can they honestly return a $50 profit on every external HDD when they can just let you figure out your own storage? i wonder
