It didn't even register as anything new until I read this post. I'm quite amazed how quickly this hit the 'streets'. This is one of the few things I saw in stores before I saw it on Engadget.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ElGouldo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2007 2:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PS3 launches in Korea with 80GB hard drive]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/16/ps3-launches-in-korea-with-80gb-hard-drive/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/16/ps3-launches-in-korea-with-80gb-hard-drive/</guid><description><![CDATA[I highly recommend placing the individual on the right on suicide watch.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bobo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2007 2:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PS3 launches in Korea with 80GB hard drive]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/16/ps3-launches-in-korea-with-80gb-hard-drive/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/16/ps3-launches-in-korea-with-80gb-hard-drive/</guid><description><![CDATA[LMAO!!

Buy a used 20 gig, spend the "extra money" you've saved and buy a larger hard drive and dump that 20 gig and you'll still have a larger hard drive for less money than the 80 gig Super-K version.

Korean. Granted these are average figures and many other factors such as income spread between top earners and bottom earners has to be taken into consideration but i am sure you get the picture. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[William]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2007 3:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PS3 launches in Korea with 80GB hard drive]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/16/ps3-launches-in-korea-with-80gb-hard-drive/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/16/ps3-launches-in-korea-with-80gb-hard-drive/</guid><description><![CDATA[William, according to your pricing rule, I guess Iraqi should get PS3 w/ 1TB HD for free.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2007 5:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PS3 launches in Korea with 80GB hard drive]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/16/ps3-launches-in-korea-with-80gb-hard-drive/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/16/ps3-launches-in-korea-with-80gb-hard-drive/</guid><description><![CDATA[William, that's median you're thinking of.
