New Playstation 3 120GB or 160GB Model Coming? PDF Print E-mail

More rumors are spreading on possible new Playstation 3 HDD configurations. Previous rumors from within Best Buy and GameStop say the Playstation 3 80GB Motorstorm bundle is on the way out. Another rumor, this one from Ars Technica's Opposable Thumbs, is saying what the 80GB's replacement will be.

From Arstechnica.com: "The Spiderman 3 pack-in will disappear as well once the 80GB unit is gone. In order to maintain a similar value proposition to the 80GB/Spiderman 3 bundle, I expect to see a storage increase to 120 or 160GB at the same price point, plus the new Dual-Shock 3 controller... "

Its nearing the spring season, when Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) said the Playstation 3's Dualshock 3 would be released in the US, so the timing sounds on target.

With all this hard drive swapping going on with the Playstation 3 models, keep in mind it's just as easy to upgrade the Playstation 3 internal hard drive on your own. Sony may be on to a fifth HDD configuration for the Playstation 3. So far they've released a 20, 40, 60 and 80 GB model. You'd think a 100GB Playstation 3 model would be next in line with the pattern of 20GB increments we've seen. Arstechnica.com's anonymous source is saying it will be as high as 160GB this time. There's been no official announcement from Sony.

Let's play games... let's get BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY. I could give a hoot if you have me a 1000000 TB model. I will only use it for gaming. Come on Sony. With Netflix doing away with HD-DVD, I think you finally won the format war, so stop screwing

any body that would pay 500usd or more for a ps3 has too much time on their hands and needs to get a job.

No matter what you buy in electronics, you can never really have the best. Cause by the time something is released there's already a better prototype being tested. I have the 80gb PS3 and love it! I have a service plan on it and am waiting to swap it o

Sony really needs to think about this one. To be releasing a 5th system is not warranted unless it is fully backwards compatible. I'm not one to have a whole shelf of systems so i can play games. Sony should be looking to the consumer and giving them t

Written by Guest on 2008-03-28 00:00:00
I do find this funny. First off, I think the language is ridiculous. Grow up guys. Second, Sony has lost format wars repeatidly in the past due to the same reasons we are now experiencing. Guess what, the original Blu Ray players will not play the curre

they really should have put in big bold red print on the front of the box that the 40 gig did not have this feature. seeing as how the stupid ass kid behind the counter of target told us it would play ps2 games. it's been well over 30 days and now I'm

I'getting really agravated with ps3 makers. I got the 40g ps3 and the people at futureshop said it was backwards compatable. So I got it and about 15 days later I try a ps2 game. Guess what it doesn't work. So I go to return it and they give me a stor

Well, colour me lucky, I've been rediscovering old PS2 series and playing those, even ROMS from my childhood.. by the looks of things, I'll still be trying to master them waiting by for the new PS3 and it's price drop ^_^

I'm still waiting for my PS3, what's funny is they say the 40GB has limited compatibility with PS2, and the 60/80GB has "full" compatibility. Define full. Sony is just trying to milk the market, because they know they lost to Nintendo and Microsoft.

dale, loco.. no saben para cuando exactamente va a estar la ps3 de 120 / 160 gb? 
 
 
(come on guys... don't you know when exactly is going to be ps3 120gb / 160gb on sale?)
Written by Guest on 2009-05-31 13:38:33
No matter how much bickering I here on these sights the bottom line still remains to be this- all the bitching and whining in the world and if a person has the money to purchase the 120gb or the 160gb they will and the people or person who doesn't have the money can come to sights like these or read magazines and comtinue to dream of the day when it may be theirs. Peace!

Written by Guest on 2009-09-02 19:43:21
i want a ps3 that can play sacred 2 and killzone 2 online for free my bday is in december and i want one :)
Written by Guest on 2009-09-12 12:48:29
lol yeah id gladly get a 20gb hard drive instead if I could get back wards compatibility. I have a computer and an I phone and an Ipod for music, I don't need my ps3 to play it too, and same for movies on my computer.. if they are that good I buy em and have them in dvd / blue ray form. stop being newbs and let me play the old final fantasy's and god of war 1 and 2 on the ps3!
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
