Rumor: 120 - 160gb PS3 in the works.

[panic!]

Quote:

An Ars Technica "mole" reports that the 80GB PS3 is indeed out and will be replaced by a 120- or 160GB PS3 with a DualShock 3 controller at the same price point ($499). Beyond the extra gigglebytes and the rumbling controller, the "mole" had nothing else to add; questions regarding backwards compatibility, USB ports and other such incidentals will have to wait for another day.

CVG spoke with Sony Europe which dismissed the story as "rumour and speculation." Sony America gave us a similar response, minus the British "u." A Sony America spokesperson said, "As you know, we don't comment on rumor or speculation." For those keeping track, the emergence of a new PS3 model would be the fifth, sixth, fourth *mumble* SKU ... actually, we've lost count.

As far as Sony rumors go, they usually come true...

still working on getting the 80 gig one since it has BC.. but if this turns out to be true and has the same capability as the 80 gig one, sweet.

btw, anybody seen that handy chart of all the PS3 types compared to each other? thought I book marked it but I can't find it anywhere now :P

I want a PS3, but the only problem is that I cannot find a 60GB locally, and I have no money

60GB PS3 ftw!!!!!!!!!

I would assume that HW backwards Comp. is better than software.. but anybody know if the difference is even noticeable ? I'll most likely be getting an 80 gig.. unless those newer ones come out in the next few months...
