Still don't know why in Australia you need 250gig hard drives?
It not like we have a lot of content to download.

The bigger hard drives help if you have a playtv. I still haven't got round to upgrading my hard drive so i think it can only buffer up to an hour or so before its full due to the demos and mandatory installs I've got on there.
If i was one to actually record shows rather than use my computer to gain them through other means the ps3 hard drive would fill up real fast.

Dick Smith has their latest deal up $594 gets you "The latest 250GB Ultimate Home Entertainment system for Blu-ray movies, Music and Video Content and games that comes with PS3 Uncharted 2 and PS3 Hawx" http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4ad6df5a0399c0bc2740c0a87e0106e6/Product/View/YG0250P1edit: the pic shows Uncharted, however clicking on the Pack includes tab shows the game in unchartered 2. I was going to get the EB deal with U2 adn COD4.. however i already played COD4 to death on the 360 last year.... has anyone played HAWX??? is it worth getting? |
