Almost every game on PS3 has a manditory install.

Wha? Hardly any of them have a mandatory install......

Don't be so harsh to him. To know this you need to have ps3 ;)

 

As for the topic sorry but it's impossible average consumer is too stupid/uninformed to know he needs to buy hdd.

Most games stream to the harddisk aswell. Even if they don't have a install. Like uncharted and

PS3 without a HDD ?

Worst idea ever (well, worst idea of the week at least)

Think about it. PS3 is by far the most cheaply upgradeable gaming system ahead of 360 and PC. Depending on where you shop you can find an HDD at less than $0.25/gig, unlike the $0.80+/gig HDDs that 360 uses. And without an HDD already installed there's no need to go through the hassle of data transfer using an external enclosure. Plus the lower price point would obviously be more appealing to the average consumer.

lol nice timing for this suggestion when a mass market priced Slim has just come out crushing the competition.

PS3 should release a version where theres no slot to insert your Blu-Rays.

Brilliant right???!!

What happens when you bring that Hard drive less PS3 home and put in a game that has a mandatory install? People are going to be pissed

This is all that needs to be said.  Would be ahorrible idea for Sony to offer a HDD-less SKU IMO.

Agreed totally. Also no point bragging about a console that does everything and thing take away the HDD. 

I also think the amt of money saved doing this would be miniscule so why bother.

Can't happen. A fair number of titles need an HDD. They can't render a fair number of titles, including MGS4, unplayable on certain PS3 models.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

No not even close, you can get a 120gb HDD for $20 brand new, to sony its very cheap.

He is right, some stores in chinatown will give a second for free if you buy a certain type/brand HDD, or 1/2 off the second HDD. They are giving away HDD  for dirt cheap prices now-a-days.
