Forums - Sony - Pretty simple fail from Sony...

This is no more unacceptable than memory cards were in the Playstation 1 era versus cartridge saving.  It's simply change.

During the PS1/N64 era, people learned to buy memory cards.  If they didn't have enough space on one, they had to buy more.  It wasn't a fail of the console manufacturers, it was just the way technology had progressed.  Likewise, today if you don't have enough space you can buy another HDD and very easily swap it out.

People who are complaining are simply showing their unwillingness to change with the times.  Just remember, that which does not change gets left behind. 

Well some of us think technological advancements should make things simpler, not more complicated...

Besides the memory cards didn't require you to open up the console.

Well I honestly think that this is not a good direction for consoles, no matter what company takes it. If I want to mess with opening up cases and replacing hardware I might as well just game with a PC.

A toilet is more complicated to use than a bucket but you know what, it's still better.

Also, I'd say opening the console once to swap HDDs is a lot less inconvenient than swapping memory cards almost on a game-by-game basis.

You should have said "in my opinion", since there are still some of us that prefer using our buckets.

Actually I'd say a toilet is much simpler, it cleans itself :P

This can only lead to a pointless argument where nobody convinces anyone of anything.

Basically you're saying that having the option of unscrewing a hard drive and popping in a larger one makes a console as much of a hassle as gaming on a PC. If someone said that in a discussion, most gamers would probably think they were an idiot.

I seem to recall the PS2 having the same option (which not many people used thanks to limited support and the proprietary drive) but what I don't recall is anyone making the same claims back then.

Even the N64 had a "jumper pack" memory upgrade that required the "difficult" task of popping open an access door and swapping cartridges.

If it boils down to having to use a screwdriver, I supposed SCE could do a redesign on the caddy with a quick release lever, but in all honesty, I don't see that as being a vast improvement.

Oh just buy a large HDD.... 320gig for bugger all cash... never even have to think about it again.

 

Is this what you expect to need when you buy a console?

 

 

 

A phillips screwdriver?

Actually, it is better.  Toilets assist the widespread adoption of sewage processing and treatment which in turn produces useful products such as fertilizer as well as recycled water for non-potable uses such as cooling and irrigation.

Why is it a fail from Sony? Because they didn't give you unlimited storage space? Suck it up and do what the rest of us do, clear some space.

The fact that you even have to do that on a console is......................

 

Where is the world going these days? :(
