Bain Share Posted January 6, 2002 Hey you all, Simple question here, the extra bay area on the PS2... Would it be possible to hook up a hardrive to it? Do you think this is possibly a feature we've yet to see from Sony? Will it only accept a certain hardrive from Sony? - Just some questions I was wondering. The biggest thing I like about the XBox is the 40GB hard drive, no need to continue purchasing little 8MB memory cards, 40GB's is enough to hold a lifetime of video game saves :) It would be killer if we could hook a hard drive up to our PS2!

velocity3k Share Posted January 7, 2002 The extra bay in the PS2 is for the Broadband Modem which is going to be released Mid 2002 in America for around $100. Link to post Share on other sites
PM5K Share Posted January 7, 2002 Umm... I'm no gaming guru, but I believe the x-box comes with either a ten or eight gb drive, not 40, but I could be wrong.... Link to post Share on other sites

It's advertised as 10GB but it's... for most people.. only 8GB. That's still alot of game saves but i'm just wondering where you heard 40GB? Link to post Share on other sites
digistil Share Posted January 7, 2002 The hard drive will sell for $150, and the broadband adapter will sell for $30-$40. The hard drive is scheduled for release in Q2 of '02, and will be 40 GB. The broadband adapter is scheduled for release in Q1 of '02. Link to post Share on other sites
PM5K Share Posted January 7, 2002 Actually it's the other way around, at the last minute they changed it from ten to eight, but some people still got ten. Link to post Share on other sites
Bain Author Share Posted January 7, 2002 lol, I'm not too sure where I heard that the XBox had a 40GB in it, I know I heard it somwhere.. probably from one of my mis-informed buddies or something. Ya, that would be great if SONY were to release a hard drive for the PS2, no more 8MB memory cards! Link to post Share on other sites

I say if that's true, stick with FF X ;) not that I wouldn't mind an online only one.... just the price ya know? Not all of us are rich :p Link to post Share on other sites
