There has been plenty of controversy over Australia’s lack of an 18+ rating classification, thus causing many games to be banned or censored.

It’s more than likely the add-on drive will only function as movie players due to the USB transfer speed limits. Head over to Gizmodo for the interview video.

Storage companies slowly started creeping up to 500GB and until just recently, it was stuck there. Now they’ve discovered how to fit more layers into the portable 2.5-inch platform, meaning twice the storage space. Seagate’s 1TB portable FreeAgent Go drive is a great example and they gave us the opportunity to check it out for ourselves.
