PS3 to upgrade to 80gb?

[Evi]

This is the dumbest thing I\'ve ready in a while.

Where did you hear such a rediculous \'correct\' rumor?  Sony is fazing out the 20GB model entirely.  I highly doubt it will make a comeback with 80GB.  And 250GB for the upper-end model?  How insanely wasteful.  I dont anyone who could need or want to download that much.

Your \'correct\' rumor sounds like the nastiest rotten fish imagineable

Also, how many things do you "ready" on an average day?

Yeah... don\'t be such a sourgrape and stop your whining...already.


The rumour came from Kutaragi\'s ever lasting banter.
Anwyay, 250Gb for a PS3 60Gb price would not a bad deal at all.

Sure  iti s not a bad deel...for people who havnt bought an PS3 yet11!!

But Im not upset an 250GB PS3 the outrageous!

Il make an deal.  If an 250GB PS3 is mas manufactured I will ask mm to ban muah and me IP from said website forevea.  If it does not see day-light (which it doesnt of course) then Id bee right and everyone who believe\'d that is laughing

Is English your first or second language?

Hmm, i just don\'t seem the fuss about it. Why get all worked up about such a possibilty ? Unless you\'ve already bought a PS3 and you might feel screwed if they\'d release a 250Gb version for the same price...

The curse of the early adopter.  You might get the shiny new toy first but the people who wait get the cheaper/better toy in a year or two.  I think most people who buy the system on day 1 understand the trade-off or at least they should.

Personally I\'d like to see a price drop before a bigger hard drive but if Microsoft is planning on releasing this new \'elite\' box instead of dropping their price, I don\'t see why Sony would be pressured into dropping their price any time soon.

I dont see that happening. I am pretty sure that Sony and Microsoft want to keep the price high. To put into people\'s mind that a console isnt worth 200$ anymore. Anyway, people still buy the hardware.

People who waited a year or two after the PS1 and PS2 launch got an improved Playstation as in less buggier etc.  You can\'t say that\'s the same thing as adding 190GB 6-12 months after launch.

Everyone who bought the PS3 did not expect  PS3 2.0 with 250GB for the same price to come out in a a year or two.  Looks like MS has fooled you into thinking 2.0 consoles are the norm.  Something similiar did not happen with PS1 or PS2.  In fact the new redesigns of the first playstations (5 years after initial launch?) were cheaper but gave you less,  not more.

Microsoft\'s influence in the video game industry has been bad and good.  They pushed consoles online,  but they\'ve also set silly trends like 2.0 consoles 12 months after launch and gamerpoints not $

clowd, don\'t forget microsoft also brought the norm of two different versions of a console, which I still think is bullshit.

hows it bullshit? gives the idiots something to buy, and they arent forcing you to buy the shit ones.

is it dumb? yea..are there dumb people who will buy them? always

as for this new trend (not quite a trend yet but it might be) is definitly bullshit. If i could wait, then id definitly fork out the extra money for the elite 360. But my ps2 broke and i needed games so i got the 360 anyway, even though i heard about a possibility of the elite, i thought it was going to take a couple years to come out. Anyway, im not losing sleep. I dont plan on buying tv episodes since i\'d only watch it once and be done with it.

I didn\'t forget about MS added not just 2,  but now 3 different versions of the their console.  The PS3 text box only allows a small amount of characters and I couldnt squeeze it in. (one annoying problem they still havent fixed)

Multiple consoles are wrong because it hurts the developers and the consumer.  I know of guys who are upset they didn\'t get SD and Memory stick duo readers in their \'core\' PS3.  And now they regret they will have to buy a $100 WIFI adapter.  As for the 360 core and premium,  all that caused was making the developers develop games with no HDD in mind.  And who wants to pay $100 to upgrade to 20GB or near $200 for 180GB? +

 Multiple consoles have not been done right.  In fact,  I doubt they ever could ever be done right.  They don\'t need to show up anymore.

I think this gives Sony and Nintendo the edge this Holiday season.  By the time we get to the Holiday season Sony will have fazed out the 20GB model leaving just 1 model,  the 60GB.  So when a consumer comes into a store they can choose between 1 PS3, 1 Wii, or 3 Xbox 360s.  Confusion may play a part in what they purchase.
