New PS3 80GB
July 20, 2008
Sony are set to release a new model of the Playstation 3. Instead of the cheap Playstation 3 40GB model now available, there will now be an 80GB model which will sell at the same price of £299.99.
Apparently the memory card slots and PS2 emulation will not be making a return on this new model, which is a shame. But I would have thought that this model will feature the new Dualshock Sixaxis controller that was released only a few weeks ago.

July 18, 2008
Normally launch titles are the biggest waste of space and end up being a waste of money. The storylines are weak, the graphics are average and they’re just downright crap.
This is completely the opposite for Resistance: Fall of Man!
Resistance is due to be re-released as one of the forthcoming Platinum titles on the PS3 for the normal Platinum bargain price of £20 in stores or you can buy it for just £14.98 online!
Without warning, the Chimera attacked from the east, and in just two months, Europe fell.
And as the Chimera hunted down the remaining survivors, the last resistance fighters rose up from the ruins of Great Britain…
Never underestimate humanity’s will to survive.”
Dell XPS 730 Desktop Gaming PC

If you look at the Dell XPS range and the XPS 730 Desktop Gaming PC in particular, both in terms of appearance and specifications you might wonder who would be the target market.
Given that these kind of machines are pre-built high-end gaming systems – I’m guessing that these customers must be the teenagers/students grown up and working (on decent salaries) who now have less time for assembling and tinkering with their computers and just want to get on with top-end gaming. These computers now typically come with custom cases, LEDs, water cooling and are already overclocked, plus have the ability to be easily overclocked further – sometimes even using a windows interface to do so.
I recently had the opportunity to attend a Dell media event which was held in Central London that was focussed on PC gaming, both from the point of view of system builders, component manufacturers and professional gamers.

April 28, 2007
The Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) console was expected to have a price drop at some point, everyone’s looking to buy a cheap PS3, but who would have thought you would be seeing the PS3 console dropping in price from the UK launch price of £425 to a cheap bargain starting price for Sony PS3 console bundles at around £300 just 6 months later!
One of the reasons I suspect for this will be the comparatively high cost of the Sony PS3 console since it’s launch in comparison to it’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii console rivals which are both outselling it. The reported sales of the PS3 console in the UK and how they fell since the launch week was something that was discussed here on the Zath Forums - I think it was because the launch price was anything but cheap!
