PS3 160GB

[mattomsay]

Sony's just announced a 160GB PlayStation 3, which will be released in Europe on October 31

The massive new PS3 joins the 80GB version, which goes on sale this side of the pond on Friday, August 22 (that's this Friday), Sony has announced at its Leipzig conference.

The 160GB PS3 will go on sale for 449 Euros (£355) and the 80GB will retail for 399 Euros (£315), so no one's going to have excuse for not downloading copious amounts of download content.

Depends what you do with your PS3, if you just use CD's then obv you wont get it but if you download trailers PSN Games and tones of music and photos and you do that for a couple of years you will need the 160 + with them bringing out the feature to download movies and music you would need the space.

If anything ill get the 80GB. Still very expensive though

I'm actually interested in the PS3's but not sure about it, since I have an Xbox 360.

Sorryyy but you dont need 160gb Theres no excuse.

I got the 40 cause i got it when it first came out, and not once have i had to deleted Anything.

My 80gb suits me.


No need for the 160 unless you love filling your ps3 with crap.

Some of the game downloads are quite big no? Some can go from 5-6GB, so on a 40GB console that's only 8 games? The only annoying thing about the 80 is having to sell it and do another dead, unsuccessful console release. The 80GB didn't really hit it off as it wasn't all that well advertised so unless they heavily advertise the 160GB and offer good Christmas deals I don't think it'll do all that well. The 160GB is useful for storing everything on it.. at work we have a 60GB which has various films on for people to watch.. it'll soon have Season 1 of Reaper on it too, so for stuff like that it's useful.

Also with the increasing size of blu-ray discs I think for the future it may come in handy.

i agree with you mainly. because i had to format my ps3 a month or two ago. i have a 60gb one and every friday with the store update i'm using up around 5gb, be it videos or demos. however i do not delete videos unless its about something im not interested in, which isnt much. And with E3 and Lepiges (sorry) videos and confrances (sorry again) coming out in 1080p hi-def they almost take a gb one video a piece. So with the ps3 staying put for a known 4 years the 160gb is a console ready to stay with nothing deleted until ps4. if that ever happens.

P.s. will be posting all details about lepigs confrance
