But removing a common dominator feature that XBox fans all appreciate such as faster loading, mp3 playing, no need for expensive memory card is not a good move. I call it downgrading. The only problem of the ps2 not having HD is the memory card extra cost and limited save space. Now the PS3 will support SD, Memory Stick Pro which offer hundreds of megs of storage and are compatible with different device such as PSP, digital camera... I call that an upgrade.
