QUOTE Sony Confirms 80GB Aussie Release and Price IGN's recent retail scoop is made official. by Narayan Pattison, IGN AU Australia, August 17, 2008 - Last week we reported exclusively on an Aussie retail leak about the new 80GB PS3 being due to be released in Australia on 28 August for $699. Unsurprisingly this report turned out to be spot on, as Sony recently distributed a press release confirming the price and date as being identical to our earlier report. In addition the press release reveals that it will be a DUALSHOCK 3 controller that is bundled in with the new 80GB system. In other news, Microsoft today announced its new 60GB Xbox 360 Pro console is now available for $499 (replacing the 20GB console). http://ps3.ign.com/articles/899/899534p1.html |

QUOTE(mailboris @ Aug 18 2008, 11:45 AM) ahhh your right gamersF... can just upgrade since the price is gonna be bout the cost of the 80Gb one anyway. actually, people are planning to wait for the new 80GB bundle bcoz it will be launched at the same official price as the current 40GB set (299.99 pounds for the uk). so if at the same price you can get 40gb extra capacity + 1 dualshock 3, without a doubt you'll buy the new 80gb set rite. but this only applies to those living abroad , since the new 80gb hasn't been released on our shores. if it does launch, then i think sellers might cut down the price of 40gb sets in order to clear stocks. i think that will be the best time to buy a 40gb set...This post has been edited by e30: Aug 18 2008, 12:50 PM |

I think the 80GB will be priced slightly higher than the 40GB. Don't think the 40GB will have any price drop here in Malaysia, well unless Sony brings in the official set, which would really mess up those AP-set.
Anyway, I'm waiting until end of this year, whether we get the 80GB or the official PS3. It is time for Sony to listen to market demand here in Malaysia. |

yup thats true man , the 40GB will stick with the current price and the new 80GB will be slightly higher....by that time more people would buy 40GB ( they will keep on upgrading the HDD ) if 80GB also they would do the same thing...trust me...

ya i agree. seems more likely that even if sony launch 80GB and sell at same price as 40GB once it gets here then the retailers would rather keep the 40 GB price standard (unchanged) and increase the price of the 80 GB sets instead. oh well

Original games are still freaking expensive.
It's becoming a factor for me to get a 360 first before a PS3 since the PS3 AAA titles are not coming out too soon anyway. |

Both PS3 and Xbox 360's games are around the same price..It's becoming a factor for me to get a 360 first before a PS3 since the PS3 AAA titles are not coming out too soon anyway. 360's games will be cheaper if u mean ahem games but have to risk 3ROD and risk online play for banning ahem games. |
