What's it supposed to be anyways?
Better not be some cheap-ass 5gig 5400 drive.
Besides, I won't be getting one until I "need" to (as in, when Sony convinces Konami to "require" the drive for MGS2).
At least the XBox will be coming with one.

Who on earth is going to buy this thing on July 19th?
I mean, the only game that really requires the HDD is a train simulator.. O_O
Don't tell me people are going to spend $150 to speed up their load times at FFX..

Im sure the hard-drive will be 80 GB. For the price it going to sell at, I think it's worth it. Quick, someone do a poll.
