Gamedreamz.com: PS3 HD required to play games??

[alvarado52]

News direct from the horses mouth, Kurturagi's mouth, is that the PS3 will require a 60 Gb Hard Drive to play games. Thing is, Sony hasn't decided whether to ship the system with one or not!

The hardware was developed with the hard disk in mind," Kutaragi said at the event. "We view the hard drive to be mandatory for the PS3. Rather than have developers create games for the PS3 with or without the HDD, we will be asking them to develop games as though all PS3s have the HDD installed.

He continued saying that Sony hopes to avoid a situation where some units have the hard drive and others don't but then he said Sony "might end up installing it in all PS3s, though that depends on the market."

Am I the only one who thinks having to buy a peripheral to play games on a Game platform seems counter intuitive??
