Full Version: Confusion about PS3
Hydrogenaudio Forums > Misc. > Off-Topic

I was reading some German articles about the PlayStation 3 and some mentioned that the console comes with either a 60 or 20 SATA HDD recorder. What is HDD recorder supposed to mean? Is the PS3 able to rip CDs or DVDs? Can it record TV shows? blink.gif

I'm sure it won't be able to rip CDs and DVDs, at least not officially. The Wikipedia article mentions the HDD too. I think you got confused from the word 'HDD recorder'. It will be just simple harddisk, and will be used for usual HDD purposes (installing software).
Btw. XBOX 360 has a HDD too.

My understanding from what I heard early this year is that the HDD is supposedly going to be there to drive audio/video sales by allowing consumers to purchase and download music, and movies from Sony onto the PS3. It would also be nice to have for downloading a game patch to fix bugs that make it into a final product.

There's a DVR based on the PS2, called the PSX. Maybe the PS3 has DVR functions also..?
Sebastian Mares
Wow, I never heard of PSX. It would definitely be cool to have something like that based on the PS3.
Andavari
That PSX looks sweet! And yeah a PS3 version would be awesome too!

It was a flop :B

A PSX3 or something, maybe with a Blu-Ray recorder, would kick ass, though. Also, since the PS3 has wireless LAN, one could use it to play MP3s and other files from the PC. Maybe also rip audio CDs to AAC (or ATRAC - hey, it's Sony).

Enough dreaming.

Yeah, but don't deny it, it's still cool ain't it.
I would've like having it when I bought my PS2 and later a home DVD recorder.

You can rip to AAC, ATRAC and MP3 on the PS3 itself, or plug in a usb key or external hard drive with files on it.
