Posted by x3sphere at August 6, 2007, 2:19 pm

It’s a little earlier than expected, but Sony announced today that the 80GB PlayStation 3 is now available retail-wide in America.
For $599, you’ll get the base PS3 console equipped with an 80GB hard drive, and a copy of MotorStorm. So, in essence, you’re paying $100 more for a game and an extra 20GB.
Sony reiterates that they will continue to sell the 60GB model in the US and Canada until the stock is depleted.

I now want to say something shadowforte said on one of his podcasts... Why is it that as soon as they launch a console, one or two months later launch an even better one with better hardware? C'mon!!! >: O
