I almost miss Krazy Ken Kurtagi (I think it was), the guy who's designed all their home consoles before he was let go. Sure, because of him, the PS3 was ridiculously expensive at launch, but it had loads of USB ports, a card reader that read every standard format and a hard drive slot that used any laptop hard drive.

From things I read after he left, higher ups away from the Computer Entertainment division were pushing for it to use 360 style custom hard drives and only read memory sticks for other media options. He had enough sway at that point where he could fight them off so his design wasn't compromised.
