Following reports in regards to the recent cut down on the 80GB PS3 console that many retailers are apparently pursuing, rumours are circulating that Sony might be introducing a newer, more powerful PlayStation 3 console.
A report on website Ars Technia states:
"Sony is, in fact, phasing out the 80GB PS3. Sony is going to stay with the two-SKU approach though, and the prices look to stay the same.”
“I heard sirens in the background, and the mole seemed nervous. "The Spiderman 3 pack-in will disappear as well once the 80GB unit is gone. In order to maintain a similar value proposition to the 80GB/Spiderman 3 bundle, I expect to see a storage increase to 120 or 160GB at the same price point, plus the new Dual-Shock 3 controller… what are you trying to accomplish with this story?"
"I’m just trying to get to the bottom of Sony’s plans for their hardware so my readers can decide whether or not they should buy now, or hold off. But I’m only one man,"
As of now this is only a rumor, but one which has many factual indicators pointing in the direction of something to expect later in the future.
We should remind our readers that Ars Technia has inside sources in which they have previously dug to for information. Thus far, most of the hidden information they un-earthed later proved to be correct.
Stay tuned for more information as we get it.
