Would you like more space for your PS3?

Before you start thinking of another iteration of the PS3, albeit with a 500GB Hard Disk version, that is not the case. Hard Disk manufacturer Buffalo had recently announced that they will be releasing an official PS3 Hard Disk into the markets soon. By official, it means Sony had given them the green light, and this particular Hard Disk is officially recognized by Sony.

The Hard Disk works in the same way as all the other external disks would work. The only thing that separates the hard disk from the rest is that it’s labeled as an official hard disk by Sony. Connection will still be through PS3’s USB 2.0 and the Hard Disks from Buffalo comes in two different flavours, although each of them still holds the same capacity.

The first hard disk (pictured above) will set you back for about 15,000 yen, while the one below is around 12,000 yen.

Same 500GB, just looks uglier.

Not much special features asides from being an official hard disk has been announced, leaving consumers thinking if this whole “official hard disk by Sony” was just a marketing gimmick on Buffalo’s side. If the hard disk is official enough, it might just allow consumers to install games, transfer PSN downloaded games or even move several “uncopyable” data into this external hard disk.

Then again, these hard disks looks pretty generic enough to me. We can hope, can’t we?
