Though the stock Playstation 3s may have more than enough hard drive space for the average gamer, a Japanese company is selling an expansion that multiplies capacity by at least 11 times. An external drive by Century can hold two 750GB units in a RAID configuration, even though a PS3 will only register 698GB. This is still more than 11 times the storage of the top-end 60GB PS3 however, and almost 35 times the storage of the 20GB console. This may prove very useful to some PS3 owners, since the system is capable of storing music, photos and videos downloaded from the Playstation Store, or copied to the console via means like a CompactFlash card. A special SATA cable ($17) is needed to connect the Century product to a PS3; no price for the drive itself has been listed online.

1500GB?! hahahahaha... You'd have to be doing some serious high-fidelity aud and vid work to need that much space. I'm sure I'll run out of my 20 gig soon, but talk about overkill. :lol:

Ah, maybe HD-DVR... I hadn't thought of that. I used to use my cpu as a DV-R, and shows were usually 200-500 megs, but with HD I can see how it would add up fast...

When reading this, first I laughed.
But then I thought about downloading Blu-ray films.
On an 60 Gb HDD you can only download .... 1
On such a HDD you'll really be able to download BD.

unless you have a fiber connection, I don't think you'll want to live through an entire BD movie download...
