Sony Computer Entertainment has officially confirmed the release of its hard disk drive for the PlayStation 2 later this month in Japan. The add-on peripheral will serve as a data cache, for faster loading, for more than 20 games, including Final Fantasy X, Jade Cocoon 2, Capcom vs. SNK 2, and Guitar Freaks 4th Mix and DrumMania 3rd Mix, among others. The utility disk for the hard drive will also include the latest CD drivers, with new features such as programmed and shuffled play, and DVD player driver 2.10. The unit, which also includes an Ethernet network adapter, will serve an additional purpose in the future, working in unison with the company's broadband network.
As previously reported, the pricing for the external drive is set at 19,000 yen (US$153), while the internal one will retail for 18,000 yen (US$145) in Japan. The company is currently taking preorders for the first 10,000 units (7,500 external and 2,500 internal) through its online store, PlayStation.com.
