Sony to give every PS3 owner a hard time

Sony's PlayStation 3 is to come bundled with the necessary 60GB hard drive when the next-gen console launches in November, it has been confirmed.

But there was one crucial detail that was left unclear - would PS3 owners have to buy the HDD, or would it be bundled with the machine? It's the latter, thankfully, as has been confirmed by website Next-Gen. Larger HDDs will also be made available when PS3 is released.

Which, of course, sounds perfectly reasonable. So there you go, console war fans - PS3 is officially three times better than Xbox 360, or something.
