PlayStation 3 hard drive sold separately?

That's the latest from Japan at least. With
reports coming in that Sony could be loosing hundreds of millions—that's dollars—due to manufacturing costs of the PS3, it comes as little surprise that hard drive support (reportedly, 80 GB) will be a separate peripheral. Of course, with Microsoft planning to ship the Xbox 360 with a 20 GB drive, Sony might want to rethink that strategy. Still, the burning question remains: Just how much is this Play$tation 3 thing gonna cost us?
