THA pr0ns!

IF MS 360 coming out 100G model
then Sony Should keep the 160gb model of the ps3 permanent

In all seriousness, my 60gb is full with games like Warhawk and GT5:P. Throw in game installs, demos, Gran Turismo TV, PSN movies, PSP games, trailers, etc and the drive fills quick.

What people are not understanding is that this is the perfect business model for the PS3. Sony knows that the tech freaks/nerds that love Sony brand will go out and buy it immediately when it comes out. That on the other hand shows as more PS3 sold to consumers since sales number is that is actually tracked and not who are the idiots that re-buy the same model that was slightly tweaked. I'll give that to Sony, they do know how to increase their numbers by getting their fanatics to go out in masses and buy the same product that, actually, was downgraded from the first 60GB model.

I do have a PS3 (80gig) and I've barely used any of my space.  I suppose there's a small amount dedicated to game saves and another small amount dedicated to downloadable games if I had any but even 80 gigs seems like too much.

As for music, videos, whatever, I have my TV and other things for that.  The PS3 is a *great* DVD/BluRay player but I don't really pirate movies so there's no need to store them.  I don't really listen to music in my living room and even if I did I would just stream it off my computer.  Add-on content doesn't take a lot of space.  Movie rentals are rentals and gone in a few days.   Demos are also just demos and generally don't stick around for too long.  That's quite a porn collection if you fill up 80 gigs and again, can't you just stream that off your PC?  Did I miss anything?

Also, many of the assumptions in that last paragraph are based on my 360 that I think has something like a 20gig hard drive.  While the game saves aren't nearly as large, I still have many downloaded games and downloadable content *and* I still have plenty of room to rent movies and download demos.

So yeah, I still have no clue why people need 160 gigs.  Is it some kind of e-penis thing?

-edit-

And before people start freaking out, I'm not really critisizing Sony or the people that use all their space, I just honestly don't know how people fill up their drives so quickly.

Wouldn't they have already done that when the 80 gig came out?

I woudn't be surprised if in 1-2 years they were to come out with a SKU with a bigger HDD.

It's not really a slap in the face for those of us already owning a PS3 anyway as we can easilly upgrade our HDD if we want to..

Otherwise I have a 80GB and my HDD is currently half full but I could easilly clear 10-15 Gb deleting games install of games I no longer play if I wanted too........

...but now they will be able to say OMG it's bigger than the Elite 360 120gb hd!!!

 tech freaks that bought a PS3 probably upgraded themselves their HDD to a 250Gb long ago...

They don't need Sony to do it for themselves...

That's the beauty of it! They have, and they will do it again!
