 80GB phasing out?? I have heard from a guy at GameStop and GameCrazy that Sony is phasing out the 80gb and going to replace it with a 120gb. the internet is full of rumors and "evidence" of this fact. Does anyone know the real story. I was going to trade up to the PS3 from my PS2, I want an 80gb, but if this is true...      |

 Re: 80GB phasing out?? The only ones that know for sure at this point are the Sony execs themselves and they aren't talking right now. Judging by what we have seen so far, however, I would not be too surprised if it is true. We've seen the same pattern with the 20 GB and 60 GB. So, if i were you I'd be looking for an 80 GB while they are still around. Any new SKUs they bring out will not have the PS2 backward compatibility at all. |

| Re: 80GB phasing out?? well at first I wasnt too worried about the B/C, but I was concerned that it might not have other features as well. I was hoping that there would be some word of it at the GDC, but I haven't heard anything. I was wanting to wait but then i was thinking that for all I know it might be months even later in the year before it is available, and I might not have the money. I guess I will look for the 80GB if i can't find it, I will wait it out. |

| Re: 80GB phasing out?? Well, even if all you see is the 40 GB it does have every feature other than a lack of PS2 backward compatibility. You also lose the memory card slots under the flap (nothing there, not even a flap) and 2 USB ports. |

| Re: 80GB phasing out?? Yeah, that is the problem. I made the mistake of trading all if my PS2 stuff to a retailer before I even bother to recheck that they still had them in stock (as they did the day before), There is no store in my town with a 80Gb even used anywhere. I love Playstation, I refuse to go to the Xbox, but i really don't like the 40gb because of the missing ports. and with all the DLc coming later from PSN, I feel 40Gb isnt enough and i really dont want to ruin the look of the PS3 with a external hard drive. that veing said I did see some package deals for the 40gb that did get my attention. I just dont want to go out and buy the 40 and then tomorrow SCEA announces the 120. |

| Re: 80GB phasing out?? Well, if you are set on the 80 GB some places online still have it, such as the Sony Style store (a search for 80GB PlayStation 3 brings it up). Now, if we were going to see an announcement regarding a new system it would not be until a big event such as the next E3 or the E For All expos. Anyhoo, the hard drive can be expanded using normal S-ATA notebook hard drives. If the 40 isn't enough, pick up a notebook drive from Best Buy or wherever you prefer and slip that in- it doesn't void the warranty (heck, they give the how-to in the documentation that comes with the system). |
