Sony updates the PS3 - 80GB version soon?

Bastieeeh · Mar 30, 2007

While Microsoft added the Xbox 360 Elite to its gaming console lineup whose best feature comes in form of the 120GB hard drive Sony's 60GB Playstation 3 Premium now looks quite 'old'. Kotaku now comes with a story regarding an updated Playstation 3 model. A PDF document was found earlier this month which states a 80GB Playstation 3 is planned. Kotaku adds that Ken Kutaragi, known as "The GodFather of the PlayStation", had a 250GB model in mind. Maybe the 80GB PS3 when introduced will serve as the Basic, the 250GB PS3 as the Premium model.

So basically these are cheaper gaming pcs? Hell, a 250GB HDD on the PS3 and its a souped up pc gaming machine, just not really upgradeable

You can upgrade hard drives in the PS3 very easily. They use standard 2.5" SATA drives.

Depends really since they're starting to have download-able HD Movies and that takes up about 8GB right away so a 20GB just won't cut it. And if you're really into that stuff 120GB is just barely enough either.

I actually want a PS3 but there's no good games out for it right now except Resistance, but that's it for me.
