Sony approves 500GB external USB hard drives for PS3

Folks living in Japan who own a Sony PS3 will be pleased to know that the company has given its nod of approval for a couple of 500GB external USB hard drives which are meant for console use only. The two are the Buffalo HD-AV500U2 (as seen above) and the HD-CL500U2, where they will hit other markets outside of Japan next month in order to coincide with the PS3’s “torne” DVR hardware/software combo launch. Neither drive comes with special features apart from being officially licensed products for the PS3, as these just come with an external label change and nothing else. Not exactly the way to win fans over to your cause, but if you are willing to shell out anywhere from $130 to $165 for either of each device, then be our guest.
