160 gb ps3w/ uncharted drakes fortune priced,dated for north america

160G dam. If ur thinking of buying a ps3 i recommend to wait a little bit longer.

"This morning Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe announced the new 160GB Playstation 3 for Europe. The Playstation Blog just confirmed that the system will also be coming to the states in November as part of a new limited-edition bundle that will include the console and a copy of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for $500.

The bundle will also include a voucher for PAIN and a Dualshock 3 wireless controller. While I appreciate the increased harddrive size, I don't see it as big a deal with the PS3 since swapping out the drive yourself is so simple."

You don't really have to wait for it , you can just get the 80 gig + Uncharted + Pain (or a different downloadable) and upgrade yor hardrive when (if)you run out of space. Plus the MGS4 bundle is out there ...... better game + b/c.

Yeah, I don't really even see the need for the 160gig in the PS3 just yet myself. They don't have the download service of XBLM with all the TV shows that stay on your HDD. It seems to me Sony just wanted to say "Pfft? 120gig? I can add more then that! Try 160gig MS!" Next year we will see MS launch a new line with 200gig HDD and thus the struggle for largest HDD will continue.

this kind of stuff really pisses me off. so the early adopters that waited in line and overpaid for the ps3 dont get anything from Sony, but the people that wait get all the great deals....

this is true for most other companies as well...

Dear Sony,

Thanks for the 160 Gb harddrive. Too bad I have nothing to fill it up with, and neither does your average Joe. Clearly, you still haven't figured out why people are bying more Wiis than PS3s.

What I really want is a PS3 for $300 or less. Heck, remove the wireless (put in wired ethernet since it tends to be cheaper), and put in only a 20-40Gb harddrive to save cost. Keep the BluRay though, which is the most compelling feature at this point.

Regards,

-The rest of the world who give this news a big "meh" after seeing the price.

Good grief, I wish they would settle on one SKU already.

Im passing on this one too.

160 gigs...check

uncharted...check

BC...no :|

4 usb ports...no :|

Sony, come on!.

160 GB isn't overkill if a lot of games have 5+GB mandatory installs.

And if you have a lot of music, DLC and videos.

This is why the 160GB is needed

Do you want to watch more music videos, but can't find any to view? We've got just the things for you: VidZone, a new service coming soon to your PlayStation 3. Vidzone launches in early 2009 in European territories, and will allow you to choose from over 10,000 songs to listen to on-demand. You can make playlists too, and songs will be accessible via remote play on the PSP and will be purchasable as ringtones.

Also coming soon, on the PS3 tuneage front: A full music download service that will arrive for the PlayStation 3 and PSP later in 2009. Sadly, we don't know when/if Vidzone will show up in a America, but we'd put money on it happening before too long. You can't keep something as good as that bottled up in Europe forever!

Following on the recent European PS3 bundle announcement, Sony confirmed through their Playstation.Blog that the latest 160gb bundle will be arriving in North American shores this November, packed with a copy of the adventure hit, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

The new bundle will be available for $499.99. Sony mentioned that the bigger HD space will help you "build levels to your heart's content in LittleBigPlanet". Could this be Sony's first step in introducing Sackboy as the system's new lead? Stay tuned for more Leipzig updates.

Why don't they offer a single SKU with selectable hard drives?foxhound_fox

sony is retarded why cant they just stay with the same freakin SKU. everytime time they release a new ps3, i regret buying mine. its so stupid.GootHimp

You might as well regret everything you bought

Xbox 360 => 20 to 60 Gb

Wii => Now with Wii Motion Plus

PCs now with Better Processors now

PSPs lighter

CD-Rs now cheaper.

Its as if you don't what the product to get better or cheaper

As in Sorta Say "Batteries Not Included"

Kinda takes the simplicity out of the whole console thing

What's the difference between that and the way it is now? Every PS3 has a selectable hard-drive. Anyone can buy any PS3 model and install a standard 320GB laptop Hard-drive. Zerostatic0

laptop hdd capacity has increased since 2006, i doubt there are many that even manufacture 20gb hdd anymore.

They should have a multimedia console pack.

It would have the 160GB hard drive, usic vouchers and movie vouchers for their online service and it should also come with play TV. It would be cool if they made it part of the ps3. They should put it where the SD card slots go since they got rid of them for the 40gig anyway and I never use them personally as suing a USB flash stick is much easier.

I'm so torn on this. Part of me says "awesome" and another part of me says "what are they thinking?"

A year old game...
No backwards compatibility...
Back to $500 bucks...
Your main competitor is dropping a $199 SKU...

I'm sure it'll be a good bundle, but geesh they need to concentrate on getting that price down. Not to mention seems like it would have made much more since to package a new game in with the SKU like LitteBigPlanet, Resistance 2 or SOCOM or something.

Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

Yeah, pretty much. Heck, besides the 20 GB to 60 GB Xbox transition, dont forget they added HDMI too.

It just hit me this costs as much as the MGS4 bundle, which has BC and a much better game. You can rent uncharted for about 7$ and you can easily beat it in a week. Sadly, the average consumer is going to think "Wow! 80 more GB of space." Very disappointing. Overclockd

So what justified the price of the Elite? "Wow 100 more GB of space"???

they dont keep changing it thoguh. wii motion plus is an addition which i can buy and its not expensive. PC you can upgrade by buying parts and its not a console.

my point is that they keep creating a new one too often

But basically the only changed they've made to the SKUS is a bigger HDD... which you can buy seperate for fairly cheap as well. Other than that, the PS3 has been stripped of BC and multimedia card slots.

How can you regret them making a new SKU when basically all they are doing is making the HDD bigger (which you can upgrade) and stripping away features like BC.

60gb is all you need for any console.hongkingkong

I think the elite was a huge rip off too. The difference here is that Microsoft didn't release a worse bundle than before for the same price as an older and better bundle. Who really needs that extra 80 GB? Not many people. They are just playing the number game with consumers.
