A popular Japanese newspaper, Nihon Keizai Shinbun, mentioned in its morning edition both the price and release date for the PS2 hard drive add-on. The device will arrive in Japan on July 19 in two different versions. The external version will cost 19,000 yen, around $152.45 USD. The internal version will cost 18,000 yen, around $144.43 USD.

The article mentions Sony will initially ship 10,000 units to stores on launch day. The amount available for online sales is still unknown.

Sony hasn't made an official announcement about the hard drive, but it is known that one of the games to support the hard drive will be Final Fantasy X, using it to get faster load times.

No indication of a US or European release date. But looks like a UK price of around £100.
