New PS3 model comes without a hard drive?

In what can only PS3 Hard Drive be described as a bizarre move Sony has revealed that one of the new PS3 super slim models that will be released in Europe, Australia and probably here won't have any hard drive at all and will rather be fitted with 12Gb of flash memory.


It's an obvious response to the 4Gb Xbox 360 but while that wasn't a great idea by Microsoft it is still acceptable as very few Xbox 360 games require an install so if you are an offline gamer it can be a usable option.. if only barely.

However with the PS3 a large portion of their games have an installation requirement meaning that if you buy this new 12Gb PS3 and also buy Heavy Rain (4.9Gb mandatory install) and Rage (8.5Gb) at the same time you can only play one of them at a time.

Granted you can install a new PS3 HDD into this model but I can see this becoming a major problem really quickly for the casual gamer who wouldn't expect this.

How to Transfer Saved Data From One PS3 to Another

Connect either a USB storage device or a media card to the PlayStation 3 system. Removable media cards can only be used on two PlayStation 3 models, the 60GB and the 2007 80GB.

From the system's main menu, scroll to the “Game” menu, then scroll down to “Saved Data Utility,” and press the "X" button on the controller. Any saved data on your USB device, media card, or PlayStation 3 hard drive will appear.
