Hey there, why so glum? You've overfilled your PS3's internal storage with mission-critical data and don't have anywhere else to stash your incoming Best of Miley Cyrus compilation? Fear not, Sony's got you covered with a pair of officially licensed external HDDs built by Buffalo. They look remarkably similar to standard issue USB portable drives -- so much so in fact that one of them is a rebadged unit that Buffalo already retails in the US (http://www.engadget.com/tag/drivestation) -- but let's not nitpick here. The two drives on offer come with a generous 500GB of storage and their prices aren't too bad with the rebadge setting you back around $130 while the more stylish HD-AV500U2 above will cost around $168. You could of course ignore Sony, buy any drive you like and jack it into your PS3; it's just that these aren't too terrible as far as unnecessarily licensed peripherals go. Both drives will be hitting Japan in March to coincide with the Torne DVR adapter (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/japan-gets-torne-ps3-dtv-dvr-adapter-in-may-all-is-right-with-t/) release.Sony licenses 'official' PS3 external HDDs, doesn't fully comprehend concept of interoperability (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/03/sony-licenses-official-ps3-external-hdds-doesnt-fully-compre/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 03 Feb 2010 05:37:00 EST.
