I think 250 GB is necessary now that you can download large games, installs games to your HDD, etc. It's too bad that this version isn't painted though. To me that makes it not worth it. So how long till microsoft caves and starts selling that 250 GB hdd?
On another note...
[citation][nom]tony_wilson[/nom]If these ass hats would just update the gpu I would buy one. Prices and technology have changed so much nowadays they could probably put a more powerful one in there for cheaper. Sony is so damn dumb for shrinking the cpu instead of updating the gpu.[/citation]
That would make it a computer, not a console. I'm all for updating computer components, but consoles don't update their components (such as the gpu) because ALL of their games are optimized for a certain hardware. That's one of the leading arguments for console users: that by using a console, everything is simpler (no driver issues for different games).
If you put in a new piece of hardware, then all games (old and new) would need to be optimized for that hardware. Do you think you can convince game developers to re-optimize their older games for new hardware? Probably not when they already have their money. They figure that is microsoft's issue, and they shouldn't have to pay to re-optimize.
So after all that, you want the latest and greatest stick with the pc. You want everything in an easy package, get a console.
