To play some games online.

i wanted to get the harddrive to play FFXI but $150 is a lot. i hope the price goes down by the time FFXI comes out in the US. (if it ever does come out here) I'll probably just get the game for the PC.

thats as much as a fucking gamecube...no thank you

I have a feeling Sony's HDD attachment is going to sell horribly...

the only reason I would have got that (had I still had a PS2) would be FF XI and that is also the only online game I would have wanted So I'm not going to pay 250 dollars just to play one game...I'll get myself an Xbox and a game to boot...Sony is pulling a really dumb move with this
