Hottt, hot hot! The PS3 may get a bigger hard drive after all, if you’re one to believe the Reuters news agency. A Sony spokesman in Japan said that 60G “may not be big enough” considering all the content that Sony expects gamers to store on their PS3s. An 80GB hard drive has been rumored for some time now, and Bloomberg quoted another Sony dude as saying the company was “considering” going with a bigger hard drive.
So, big hard drive, big fun. Clearly Sony is going for gold now.

So they are getting rid of the 20 gig and replacing it with an 80 gig… something tells me they did not think too far ahead with the creation of the PS3…
Take a look at my tech blog if you get a chance for cool gadget related posts etc…

I don’t think 80 will be big enough either.
Sony should drop the 60GB PS3 to the old 20gb’s price of $500 (or better yet, $400!) and make the new PS3 *fingers crossed for at least 120gb* at the current 60gb version of $550-600 or whatever it is.
OR just give me a free one…

Why are they adding storage space instead of addressing the fundamental flaws of their failed marketing attempt for the PS3? *That* is the problem. Do they expect increased sales by adding more space? I don’t think it will do them much good. There will be all this stale inventory in the end and it might sell by 2013 or so if they’re lucky.

You have a point Tamar, they should really focus on how to get their current stock of PS3s off the shelves. But if that means there needs to be more games, that’s in all the game developers hands, not really Sony’s. So what exactly does/can Sony do?

Why are they even bothering to release another version that will have nothing more than upgraded harddrive space?
As I recall, unlike the PS2, Xbox and Xbox360, the PS3 allows you to use your own harddrive in it, no need to buy an “official” harddrive, the PS3 will accept and fully use with no limitations any 2.5 inch SATA harddrive you plug into it.
And consdering previous history of the PS2’s 40gig hdd being $100, and the 360’s 20gig HDD being $100, whatever harddrive you buy yourself will be a lot cheaper than the inflated price of the PS3.
Sony just wants to get a more expensive model out to help reduce their losses. One of the main reasons people are not buying them is because of price, making a MORE expensive one, espeically since by now all the “hardcore” fans that would have bought one already have one, is just pointless.
