Sony has no plans for larger HDD PS3 in UKDVDBack23 @ Jan 29, 2008 22:15 | 6 comments
An internal Best Buy memo showed that supply of the 80GB model was being cut and since then rumors have exploded across the internet that the US will see a 120GB version for the same price as the disappearing 80GB. Sony has yet to confirm or deny the rumors however.
In the UK though, the story is different. "We do not currently have any plans to release a 120GB PlayStation 3 in the UK," added a spokesperson for Sony Europe.
The rumors are not all that far fetched as in the past Sony has implied that it would consider PS3 models with larger hard drives if consumers demanded it.

Every other week it seems there is a rumor of cutting this model or adding X gb hard drive...first it was the backwards compatibility now the re(re)structuring how much hard drive space you get. What is the deal? Can't a company decide on a business model and stick with it? I understand the desire to upgrade and make your product better,but c'mon! Things like this didn't happen with last gen consoles,not to this extent. I plan(ed?) to purchase one sometime in the next year,and all this uncertainty pisses me off. Without sites like this and Joystiq I could never keep up on Sony's constant changes. Can someone send me a brochure that explains all this garbage? Though M$ did add HDMI and a larger hd with the Elite and introduce the Arcade version,that's about 134,575,226,575,265,774 less changes than Sony. Wait more to come! 'Assemble your own blu-ray drive and get a 1 terabyte drive at no cost!' I can see it now |

Honestly, HDD space differences are okay, but adding/removing features is a bit much in this short amount of time. And honestly, who cares about HDD space on the PS3 anyways? You can self-upgrade the PS3 with almost any drive size you want, right? |
Comment by: b18bek9 (Jan 30, 2008 01:44) who cares when u can already add ur own hardrive to it and as of now theres no reason to worry how big the hardrive is til theres some emulators or something for it so dont think anyone cares really how big the harddrives are..... |
Comment by: nobrainer (Jan 30, 2008 09:16) Please tell me the cost of the 120 gig seagate drive then tell me the price of the current 80gig drive, lets hope sony are not using this as a way to justify a huge price hike and are honest to their customers and keep the price virtually the same as it costs sony less than $5 difference to source any of these drives and retail for next to nothing.

Any ways, it is rumored that these new ps3s will have the dual shock 3 packaged with them and lots of games like resistance, ratchet, and uncharted will release downloadable patches that will add the rumble feature into the games.
God hates console fan boys.
