Uh-oh.....Sony, WTF are you doing!?

These rumors usually end up becoming true.....

If they increase the price to accompany this for Japan...wow, I'm speechless.

Jeez they keep upgrading and adding things to these consoles. Next step they are just full-blown PCs. I wouldn't be surprised if next generation hardware includes options such as slightly faster processors and disc drives so the games will run and load slightly faster. A next-gen console will run from $200 for the basic package to $1000 for a console with all the bells and whistles.

In Japan this makes sense, any where else it's a big NO. Considering how the only true choices for Japanese are the Wii or PS3 and Bluray has over 90% of the HD sales. still it's just a rumor.

20GB, 40GB, 60GB, 80GB and 160GB all within a year? That's ridiculous.

Keep the 40GB and 80GB, Sony. We don't need anymore SKU's.

Good idea Sony. Just continue rereleasing the same console with incremental upgrades so the same people continue to repurchase it over and over.

1 month ago there were circulating reports that a 40Gb PS3 was coming without BC and some other features...it was merely a rumor and most people shot it down...How'd that turn out? There were rumors of the 80Gb PS3 coming as filed in FCC...What happend? There was rumors that the 360 would drop in price...What happend?

You don't have to, Sony just realizes that people will.

And I assume that original design never became a reality because it had so much pointless stuff..
