Sony Australia will be phasing out the 60GB PS3 in the region but it will not be cutting the price to help shift stock as is happening in Europe.
Instead the current offer of the 60GB model with two free games and an extra controller will run until supplies are depleted, while the new 40GB unit will be introduced on 11th October for AUD 699.95.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
No price drop in New Zealand.
I hope the consumer will get to hear of the new 40 GB model hitting stores soon so they don't spend $1,199 (NZD) on the 60 GB PS3 when a much cheaper one is just around the corner.
yeah, crikey
See what I mean?! Really, gamers' out here are being shafted by Sony so bad that the effect is everyone's going for the competitors'.
The PS3 is like a shadow in this part of the world, you know that it exists but no seem ( well some, mostly the true fanboys'/girls' ) to take notice.
And even if you do...you'ed be grossed-out by what it offers and simply walk away.
Listen Sony. Give us a PROPER PRICE-CUT just like what you offer the other countries!
LISTEN!
