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.
