Following on from Sony Europe's announcement of the 160GB PlayStation 3, SCEA has confirmed that the new package will hit North America as well.
Currently scheduled for a November launch, the bundle will include Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a PSN voucher for PAIN and the DualShock 3 controller, all for $499. The recently announced 80GB model is currently shipping to retailers and will sell for $399.
"As PLAYSTATION Network continues to evolve with our recently launched video delivery service and more exclusive games, PS3 owners are demanding more storage capacity," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. "Consumers also are utilizing PS3 as an entertainment hub for their digital media, placing content such as their entire music collection on the hard drive. The 160GB PS3 system addresses this growing consumer demand in a compelling bundle that delivers significant value."

i'm keeping it real!!! this the dumbest move Sony is about to make since the PS3 been out. its no way the 120gb will sale this holiday not at $500 the GB is nice the DS3 is nice but not for a game that been out for a year where you can pick it up dirt cheap. they at least have to add a new title with the console or drop the price of the 80gb to $350 and the 120gb to $450.

With that much space idk if you'd need to worry about running out of it. Looks pretty sweet and at least the 80 gb's price dropped because of it.

Wait, what happened to the 40GB? If the 160GB is $499, the 80GB is $399, then the 40GB is what? Discontinued? Apparently I didn't get the memo. I wish they would just keep it and sell it for $299.
