It's why all these designed for porting to console mmos like dcuo, Aoc etc.. are heavily instanced.
...Wait. You think WOW wouldnt run on a PS3 due to RAM and HD space?
I beg to differ with you since I have like 250 GB on my PS3 and even FF 13 (not sure the number-0 the MMO though) is coming to Ps3.
Personally I would love for a good MMO to be playable on my Ps3. I use a keyboard/mouse setup and I imagine it would be quite relaxing playing from my couch on a 60 inch HDTV.
WOW though? I wouldnt play it- Mainly becauise I have already played yers ago and am burned out of WOW- But pretty much anything else would be interesting to try.
WoW takes alittle under a gig to run on medium settings so no, a PS3 would not have enough ram.
Now if they reprogrammed the game from the ground up for PS3 maybe.
I would never buy this game on console. To each there own
After a horrid launch on PC. I recently went back to play. I was pleased that I could actually kill elite mobs now. Bosses are finally dropping decent loot. The damage has been done IMO. I will keep it installed and play it when I need a game change.

-Well yeah, I am speaking of rewriting it for the Ps3 (not a direct port)- and if the new FF can do it, WOW could (but unfortunate for me- I really could care anout either of those games) =P
Yes, it's the better version because it doesn't include the completely OPTIONAL auction house...
/facepalm
And because you can play it offline like every other Diablo game prior to the D3 PC version...
As far as the auction house... you know that without it they have to fix the loot drop rates right? They've had to even with the auction house on PC due to the complaints of it making the auction house less optional.
Completely agree, definitely NOT optional, more like required to progress. They've done that just like other games who have Nexus looming in the background have nerfed loot to try to squeeze as much gold out of players as they possibly could.
Amazes me people don't pay attention to these things. Yeah they'll have to fix the drop rates on this console version and it's going to be VERY noticeable when they do to the people because they'll be surprised that things they worked for months to try to get to drop and then gave up and bought these items, will be readily achieveable on the console version.

Im more than likely going to pick it up on the PS3 mainly due to the item drop rate fixes that will be in place, due to lack of AH. Out of all the gear my WD is wearing, I think maybe, and thats a big maybe, 1 piece didnt come from the AH. I can honestly remember 2-3 drops in the last year that were actually usefull for me. I couldnt care less about the always online, but the drop rates man...the drop rates....awsomly fun game, but D3 is more about farming gold than gear at this point...hopefully the PS3 ver changes this.
