New PS3 160GB
A new PS3 160GB? If you’ve just bought the brand spanking new PS3 80GB and you’re in a bad mood anyway…..don’t read anymore into this!
Sony have announced that they are to release a 160GB model of the PS3 in October 2008! - Only 2 months after the release of the 80GB model! Also, I very much doubt from what I’ve read that the new 160GB version will have PS2 backwards compatibility or any of the features of the 60GB model.
The news was broke at this year’s Games Convention in Leipzig. I couldn’t see yet whether they were going to release the 160GB model at a higher price, or put the price of the 80GB model down.
Either way, if you’re thinking of buying a PS3, I’d perhaps wait for the 31st October release of the PS3 160GB for a price around £350…or you can do a PS3 hard disk upgrade!

I’m really starting to wonder whether Sony actually has any clue what they are doing with their consoles anymore - where are they leaving their customers by constantly changing their product line-up so often?
I’d be pretty annoyed if I’d just got an 80GB only to find that I could have got twice as much storage space for a few pounds more.
Woah!!! A 160GB PS3? That sounds crazy awesome. I wonder when that will come out. I’m still excited over the 80GB one, but the 160GB seems even better.
If you don’t care about the hard drive size and just want a PS3, there’s a contest going on where you can win one. Design a t-shirt for 6 Hour Power and if your design get’s chosen, you win a PS3 and Rise of the Argonauts (pretty nice deal, I’d say).
If you want to know more about the contest, check out the website: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview
I hope I didn’t overstep my boundaries by contacting you on here. I work for 6 Hour Power, so If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
Let me know if you enter the contest so I can look at your designs you’ve made and vote for you. Good Luck and I look forward to seeing your designs.

i bought a 60gb ps3 a couple of days after it was released and have been completely satisfied with it, i know that i won’t use anymore than the 60gb memory and even if i did, it’s easily possible to buy either an external hard drive or a 2.5″ sata 2 internal hard drive upto 320gb. there’s always other options
Can anyone tell me how you are going to use that much disk space? There’s no point getting a PS3 with that much space. If you cared enough you could just buy a terabyte harddisk and plop it in your PS3!

Fair points guys, I recently saw how easy it actually replace the existing hard disk or add on another, if this is your concern I’m sure you could do it yourself.
In terms of using all that space, I wonder if Sony are going to be offering more online and download services, perhaps including TV/movie downloads?
