Theres a new feature for the HD that might make buying games a thing of the past.The hd might have the ability to copy the game to the HD and then play it there making the load times shorter and you dont have to play with the cd.

Yes there is a hard drive coming. However, features such as save files and CD rips will be dependent on the software for the HD unit.

And yes, you may in future be able to 'install' a game to the HD - but you can bet your ass that you will still need the disc to play, just like most PC games.

There is no way in hell SONY are going to introduce a feature in their hardware that allows you to run games without the disc! SONY make money off each game sold - that's why you'll need to have bought the game.

I heard that you would be able to download demos and buy games online which you could install to the HD. If that's true, then I'd have less problems with storage space in my room. ;)

In my OPS2 magazine it says that the Hard Drive is going to be 40GB and not 30GB
Either way both will have alot of memory for you to save stuff and download things etc :)
