When in the hell is the HDD media thing coming out!?!?!?!?

[seven2k]

ok im pissed i am new to this forum but im not new cracking and hacking. ok i bought this HDD and i was excited cause it said that it will have a media player and i will be able to rip cd's or get MP3's in there so far NOTHING. I thought i was going to be able to do like the XBox and play my own music while playing my games. So my question is WHEN IS THAT STUPID SOFTWARE COMING OUT??

no one really knows for sure.

As much as I like PS2 I am starting to get sick of SONY's bogus promises.

i know...its crap they promise it and nothing. Lets sue them. Im thinking of getting an xbox 149.00 cant beat that.

that'll mean they need another BIOS update... if they rush it out, maybe they'll leave some... helpful.... things in.

A BIOS update would mean either they have some very clever HDD I/O system, capable of executing apps already, or they need to send everyone that bought the drive a new disc.

im pretty sure the capability is there already but all they need to do is make up software that will work with it. IM thinking that there will be no BIOS update just the software. Remember they are trying to make gaming consoles like PCs. When the MP3 thing it PCS several years ago it was easy to get MP3. Believe the people at Sony are not that dumb. Its going to take awhile or they are going to wait til Xmas or summer to bring it out. NO MAtter what its still too long of a wait. All MS has to do is keep bringing the price on Xbox. Sony made it pretty easy for MS to keep competing with them. Just lower the price and maybe bring a bigger HDD for Xbox. NO THINKING DONE THERE!! I just want to play Madden 05 with my own music!!

So what's the big deal about listening to mp3s while you play a game? I hardly think that's one of XBox's best features. I've been playing games listening to my own music since I had nintendo and a walkman. I don't see why it's so much better when both features come from the same device. Chances are you have something that'll play music within earshot of the PS2 anyway. The only thing that makes the XBox hard drive great is that you store all your pirated games on it and don't have to burn a bunch of dvds. That's all anyone really wants.

Well, I like being able to have my own radio station in GTA:P

It would be interesting to see what would happen if the 25,000,000 ps2 customers sued Sony at the same time.

It would be interesting if I had that much free time:P
