Interesting. Good for new purchasers...Is the size of the hard drive linked somehow to LBP? ? Which is released the same day?

"same specs as the 80GB mode,"

 

You made a typo Mike, you meant "Model"

i'm confused is the 160 same as current 80 gig wit b/c or is it the new 80 stripped not equipped cause if there both stripped then i know people who are not gonna get equipped?

there wont be backwards compatibility in any future ps3..... TRUFAX!!!

Not bad prices, but why are they releasing yet another PSP SKU isn't it about time a PSP 2 came out?

No way!!! I spent that price for my 60gig one... but I got a game with it so it's all good! =)

@4 then like 11 people i know aren't gonna get one, that's the main reason that draws us to playstation oh well sony's loss i got my 60 gig i'm good. but tis a shame that was 10 more potential buyers.

Adding more disk space simply doesn't make it any better ... Kicking the firmware guys into touch and hiring somebody with more balls in the software division would help more.  Come on Sony ... sort yourselves out

here's an idea for people that don't have the 60 or 20 gig ps3. keep your ps2 if it still works! here's a second idea for SONY put the 90nm chip set back in the new ps3s so the backwards compatibility is restored for ps2 games. ps1 games will still work

Personally I have the 80 that is B/C but I don't even use it....So I don't know what the big deal is....

@marronthered - You can't really say tat there won't be backwards compatibility in any future PS3, because nobody knows that for sure.  Not even sony knows that, they could even come out and say it and still possibly have a backwards compatible sku in 3 months.

Price is still to high for what it is lol, will be buying a PSP but not till next year.

Haha, so it's going to £400 here, I'd be willing to bet that Americans will not be pyaing $800.

@9 and 10 just because YOU don't use the feature doesn't mean it's not an option that's very liked and appreciated. 9) ps1 then ps2 plays both, ps3 plays all 3 ps4 should play all 4 see the pattern that's a big reason playstation is appreciated shouldn't have to keep 20 systems around to play all your games. i'm a collector i don't sell my stuff. it can't seriously be that expensive to put in older technology in a new system.
