New 80GB Core Packs may be in stores now

PS3Fanboy: "While they're not supposed to "officially" go on sale until the end of this month, it appears that many retailers are stocking their store shelves with the new 80GB Core Packs. These systems, which retail for $399, offer an upgraded version of the previous 40GB system: a larger hard drive and a DualShock 3 controller."

[BulletToothtony]

i have the money to buy one but i've been holding back for this.. and i'm freaking getting desperate... what store and what city... i really can't wait to buy another ps3.. i had to sell mine for rent money wuuuuaaahhhh!!!

In our shipment at gamestop...we only got a single one of these (odd #).

Its also gunna be hard to distinguish and sell the "difference" in systems even more now (since its 2 80 gigs and one is way better than other(personal preference)).

People all the time ask if ps2 games work on their PS3 and we always know which ones do have BC (atleast I hope my co-workers do..hah). Now I can see it...

Me: Which Gig PS3 did you buy?
Them: 80gig
Me: Ahh....Crap hah

Only difference is hope they remember how much they paid for it.

And Its gunna be pain in retailers butts when people get pissed and try to bring it back (thinking ALL 80gigs have BC still).

[trancefreak]

I've called a Game shop in my town, at the north of Spain, and they told me they have some 80 GB PS3 units, so I will buy mine this afternoon. Don't know if the official release date is still 27th august, but I don't mind anymore. :-)

Just hope all the people i know who want a PS3 don't buy this thinking it has Backwards Compatibility, and yell at me when it doesn't.

I should sell them my launch day 60GB for a million pounds :P

[sonyfanonly]

[whoelse]
