80GB PS3 For Europe And Beyond

[PV5150]

It appears that the wait is over

Details in the news article

The company will be discontinuing the 40GB consoles, but there will be no price reduction, as stocks are low; likewise, there will be no price reduction on either the PS2 or PSP.

Damit. I don't see why they dont keep selling these and just lower the price closer to the xbox. Of which the top, top model is still £50 less.

Ahhh Platinum games FTW...

So no difference in functionality, just a bigger drive? Meh.

Stick with my original 60GB PS3... Backwards compatibility

Thats the only thing I dislike about the PS3.. No backwards compatibility lol except for the rare 60GB models.

Xbox are making a 60GB 360 aswell.

I guess that was the one bonus for backing the console in its early days. Well that and the extra USB ports and the various memory card readers.

I'll just keep my 60GB and 40GB and upgrade the HDD if I need to

i wish i could have gotten my hands on a 60 gig

i would have loved backward compatability

but instead i'm stuck with a small hard drive

only two usb ports

and no ps2 backward compatability

but yet, i can play ps1 games just fine?
