20 gigs more...isn't going to make or break anyone's PS3 buying decisions. Is it just me, or is a 20 GB upgrade for $100 in a time where entire 400 gig drives go for less than that a bit stingy and um...not very enticing?
It needs more games and programs. It's pretty sad when the only killer application for the PS3 is Folding at home or HD Movies and not entertainment (game) software.
I for one love Resistance and Motorstorm. But I agree, it's time for more than 1 or 2 hot games.. although the PS3 did come out much later than the 360 and hasn't had as much time to build up it's library. I think HAZE is gonna be the start of some really good things.
2.5" 80GB HDDs go for ~$80. No word on 400GB drives, let alone 300GB... Still doesn't justify adding a mere 20GB and a single game... how bout a HDMI cable? Sony's cable standalone is $50 MSRP... eep... include that overpriced cable in the box...
I am a proponent of the PS3 too. I want to see it succeed. However, it takes nothing more than to look at how the systems packaging is dominated by the Blu Ray logo to realize that SONY misplaced their priorities during the latter half of the system's pre-release.
It is shameful, that SONY didn't have more titles available. Of course, if SONY really intends to give the system a 10 year (or 15 year) lifespan, this may all blow over eventualy.
Howard Stringer Sony's CEO said at this years annual shareholders meeting that there will be 380 NEW games for the PS3 over the new year, that will add to the 100 PS3 games that are already on the market.
Wow, Sony needs to get it's crap together. The people that aren't paying 599 for a 60 gb model aren't going to pay 599 for an 80gb model. They need to keep the 60gb model on shelves at 499 or preferably even less.

I'm a big proponent of the PS3, but I can't see anyone opting for the 80 gig model honestly.. 20 gigs and Motorstorm? well.. maybe.

Doesn't matter if you have a 1 TERRABYTE drive.
PS3 needs some damn games.

I think Sony might stop making the 60GB version and be back at its old price-point in exchange for a measely 20GB extra. Clever?
