Good bye 40GB? 80GB will cost $399

It's the 40GB system with an 80GB HDD.emitsu97

^^^ Just like he said, as far as we know, it is the same gimped PS3 with a larger HDD. If it was the BC 80gb like we have now, then that would be a very good move.

You sure about that? I doubt it does

Oh come on I wanted my backwards compatibility. Either way, I might as well accept I will never get it so buy a backup PS2 and the PS3.mohmaaytah

Or do like I did; go online & buy a 60 GB PS3 instead.

I was just looking at them on Amazon, rather overpriced... Still, I might just go down for one.

[QUOTE="emitsu97"]It's the 40GB system with an 80GB HDD.WhyuStillAlive

You think it comes with a ds3, but you said other wise in your previous post. Theres always a change the ds3 can be included but nobody said so.

The only 60 GB you'll ever find are all used.

best just get a PS2, cheaper and guaranteed.

From September only one 80 GB SKU worldwide and no more BC , is that the deal ??Caseytappy

That's my understanding of it after reading the full press release: http://kotaku.com/5025521/400-80-gb-ps3-announced

"Starting in September 2008, the newly announced PLAYSTATION(R)3 (PS3(TM)) 80GB model will become the mainstay of the company's hardware line-up. The 80GB model will retail for $399, and will offer all of the features and functionality of the 40GB model with double the storage "

Edit: stupid glitch that deletes my post text. Fixed.

Im my experience ps2s look rubbish on an HDTV,the ps3 with b/c upscales pretty well but still has noticeable texture shimmering in some games,needs better anti aliasing.

That's what I mean; all 60 GB PS3's are used. I already gotten the 60 GB PS3 from gamestop online a few months ago (Back in April, I believe). Lucky me. Should it ever die out, I can easily send it to Sony for a replacement, or for it to be fixed.:)

f***! i just bought a 40 gig a few months ago....lazyhoboguy

Ugh,Sony once again $crewed the customers again,Lets look at the facts.

Launch

80 gig 600$

20 gig 500$

A few months both are Discontinued.

40 gig 400$ (100 dollars cheaper than the 20 gig and double HDD space)

Now 80 gig 400$ (No more 40 gig now we screw the customers who bough all of our consoles before this one)

Way to show you care about the customer sony,now i stick with my 40 gig console...

****! i just bought a 40 gig a few months ago....lazyhoboguy

Don't fret. This is basically the same console you got, just with more space and a DS3 controller. It's not the "real" 80GB model.

Yes I know, it just the 40HDD but with 80GB now.

Is this new bundle worth it? Should I wait to get one or just buy a ps3 asap? I want to know whats the big deal with Sixacis and is 40 GIG HD enough for the PS3 because I heard from a friend that he is running out of storage with his 40 GIG?Fingerella69er

I would hold off for a lil just to see what will be included and any difference in specs... plus the HDD is upgradeable

I'm almost pissed at this announcement... I heard that Sony had denied any price cuts, so I went ahead and bought a $400 40GB... and now I'm finding out I could have bought twice as much memort for the same price if I had waited? Damn...

Eh, I guess. Waiting two months would have sucked indeed.

At least you can still upgrade those components in your system. It's not like BC, which is impossible to put back in.
