80GB PS3 GONE WILD!

You can do it now yourself. They use standard laptop harddrives (not pc hdds).

The manual even explains how to replace the harddrive.

 

I can't see Sony intentionally screwing the consumer on a marginal 33% increased HDD, but I'd like to ask how they plan on selling the 60Gb model?

Perhaps the 80 will take over the 60 pricepoint and the 60 will drop a few dollars and begin to phase out altogether.

 

Ah, thought it used laptop ones (My manual got wet and I threw it away, so I never read how to do it before I saw how small the hard drive was)

 

Guesstimate 2: Sony drop the 60GB model and sell the 80GB one (Euro model but with 65nm CELL) for $499 when HOME launches. Zing!

 

You do realize that a 80gb laptop drive costs more than a 120gb regular size drive (like in a 360) right?

 

The 360 uses laptop (2.5") drives too.

 

I think its too soon for such a price cut, even with 65nm chips...

 

HOME is an Aug/Sep release supposedly. A $100 drop with the kind of software and an extra 20GB to store it in is feasible IMO.

 

Well in that case it could be:nod:
