Sony Europe boss David Reeves has said that the platform holder aims to utilize the new 160GB PlayStation 3 unit as a means of determining how consumers respond to a higher capacity version of the popular gaming system.
Speaking to MCVUK, Reeves commented, "The 160GB is a limited edition that we’re doing to see how it goes in all the territories because if you look on your site, people are responding to the news by saying ‘I want a 500GB PS3’ and then other people saying that ‘I haven’t filled up any of my hard drive’.”
The 160GB PS3 will hit European territories on October 31, priced at EUR 449.
