Comment Re:No memory card (Score 2, Insightful) 165
Slightly a different scenario with the PS2. There was no version of the system that came with a mem card much less a hard drive. In other words everyone that bought a system had to buy a memory card, there was no other option.
All I'm saying is that some people will buy the $300 version and a game, bring it home, play it, that realize they can't save their game. Then they will pause the game and go back to the store and shell out 40 more bucks for a memory card and wish they just got the model with the hard drive, wireless controller, and other goodies. Most people I hope will realize that the $400 version is a better deal. Also let's not forget how the very existence of a sans-hard drive model causes an extra annoyance for developers.
