Cool news, but no price or size yet.

Sony says PS3 will indeed have a removable HDD storage module but says it will be sold seperately

Sony has now officially stated that its new PlayStation 3 console will have a hard drive option for storing information. Engadget is running an article claiming the HDD unit will be a detachable 2.5" module but unlike Microsoft's Xbox 360, the PS3's HDD unit will slide neatly into the console via a slot that is designed for the HDD module. According to PlayStation.com, the HDD module will be sold separately although no price has yet been set.

No details right now about what sizes will be offered, but with Sony using standard notebook size hard drives, it shouldn't be at all difficult to have the unit upgraded. Also available on the PS3 will be Memory Stick support (standard, Duo, and PRO) via one slot. In fact, the PS3 will read all popular media formats such as SD and CompactFlash types 1 and 2.

Well at least they're getting closer to revealing all and releasing it. I, personally, can't wait to get my hands on the blu-ray disks

I agree, Andrew. All this build up of the machine is getting me rather anxious. When I rotate back to the "world" i'd like to hear of a release date out of sony.

pricybr

Did you see the price of it onengadget at 800/900 USD!

I paid about $500 for my Xbox 360 the day it came out. With M$ having a head start, it won't be 800/900 dollars. They will have to have a competitive price.

I think that PlayStation is the poor man's Xbox, even though I don't nessisarily like Microsoft.

I have a PS2. Postage costs to Australia would be a bit expensive to send it to you

Anyway...I like playing it, so I doubt I would send you it anyway
