50 gig? Holy shitballs. You should be able to save your game right on the disc now. Not bloody likely, however.

actually there will be a few options.

The PlayStation 3 comes with an array of data storage and transfer features. Whereas the PlayStation 2 only supported a memory card and the optional hard drive attachment (for a brief time), the PlayStation 3 supports numerous forms of portable media. The PlayStation 3 has 6 USB 2.0 ports, a memory stick slot, an SD slot, and, in stark contrast to many of Sony’s other consumer electronics products, the system actually supports compact flash. Sony even saved a space for a removable 2.5” hard drive.

hmm is xbox doing direct to disc saves on 360? since they carry 25 gigs which isnt too shabby either and plenty of space to do so.

like i said before i may end up buying a 360 this fall,but i'll measure them both up to each other fairly before i choose what i roll with.

That's cool. I wouldn't mind using the memory stick I already own to save my PS3 stuff on.

also much like i can do with my psp i do like the usb option to store it on my computer.

But i'm still wondering what type of memory they expand on gaming wise. As far as the effect on backgrounds and maybe the size of them. Like how big could you make a seemless GTA free roam?

<< some people get like that about consoles, and I'm glad you're not one of them.

What's everyone's guess on the cost?

No word on consumer cost yet, but there is all kinds of stuff out about cost to manufacture.

I'm guessing they can't get away with anything more then a 100 over the current price fo the 360 when the PS3 is launched.

possibly. remember that sony is willing to take a hit on the price to get systems into peoples hands.

Yeah that's mandatory this generation. Gone are the days when companies made profits off the hardware of consoles.

That link puts the pice tag between $800-$900 to make per system. Eating production cost is mandatory, its about how much they are willing to eat. M$ has eaten cost with both the Xbox and the 360.
