I'm sure this was poured over very much, but with the up and coming PS3 I doubt it was much of a concern for either party.

In my eyes, the PSTwo itself is naff. It's ugly, everything's onboard so if it breaks, bye-bye replacements parts, you probably can't get a chip into the chassis and it's blatant economising from $$$$$ony ( I really must sort my stutter )

I agree.

Also the HDD would not be a failure if they included it with the ps2, and allowed users to save onto the HDD, like xbox. But they wont do this because memory card sells will plumpet.

I absolutely agree. However $$$$$$$$$$ony ( Damn stutter, always happens when i say $$$$$$$$ony ) want to be big fat cats and soak all the profit for those pointless £20 pieces of crap. Include a HDD you TIGHT Ba****s

...And while we're at it - a decent sodding laser

SONY own 20% of Square. I'm sure assurances have been made that it will support a HD, somehow. Or maybe the original PS2 will continue to be sold?

Either way it does not matter, the HD has been a massive failure for SONY.

Right, my point exactly .... or incorporate the PS2 based HDD games into the new PS3.
