80GB geht, 160GB kommt

Sony rüstet auf. Einer anonymen Quelle von Ars Technica zufolge plant Sony die 80GB-Version der PS3 vom Markt zu nehmen. Die 40GB-Variante der Konsole ist von dieser Maßnahme jedoch nicht betroffen. Allerdings soll die 80GB-Konsole durch eine Version mit 120 oder sogar 160GB-Festplatte inklusive Dual-Shock 3 Controller zum selben Preis ersetzt werden.

Mole: 80GB PS3 dead, 120-160GB with Dual Shock 3 incoming

By Ben Kuchera | Published: January 27, 2008 - 10:45PM CT

Our inside source of all things video gaming has been right almost every time it comes out of the shadows to give us information, so I'm going to dispense with the back story. Wherever his or her information is coming from, it's usually solid. After I spoke to Sony about the possible discontinuation of the 80GB PS3 model, I lit the mole-signal.

Working late into the night on Saturday, I heard a noise behind me. For both of our safety, I didn't turn around. "You've talked to Sony," the mole said in a gravelly whisper. "Tell me what they told you."

I repeated the information we reported on Friday: Sony is sticking to a two-model approach at retail, but the company won't comment on whether or not the other model would be the 80GB system. The 40GB system seems safe. I asked the mole what information he had.

"Sony is, in fact, phasing out the 80GB PS3. Sony is going to stay with the two-SKU approach though, and the prices look to stay the same," the mole told me. I heard sirens in the background, and the mole seemed nervous. "The Spiderman 3 pack-in will disappear as well once the 80GB unit is gone. In order to maintain a similar value proposition to the 80GB/Spiderman 3 bundle, I expect to see a storage increase to 120 or 160GB at the same price point, plus the new Dual-Shock 3 controller... what are you trying to accomplish with this story?"

"I'm just trying to get to the bottom of Sony's plans for their hardware so my readers can decide whether or not they should buy now, or hold off. But I'm only one man," I say.

"Now we're two," the mole whispers, and when I look around in surprise... my informant was already gone.

Evidence pointing to 120GB PS3 continues to grow

By Ben Kuchera | Published: January 31, 2008 - 08:49AM CT

The evidence of a 120GB or larger PlayStation 3 model, one with the Dual Shock 3 bundled, grows. We broke the story when our mole answered the call for more information on the allegedly soon-to-be-canceled 80GB units, and now reports of the system's existence are trickling in from other sources.

GamesIndustry.biz has reported that Sony has no plans to release the 120GB model, the model that no one in Sony will comment on, in the UK. They've also reported that I've taken over Ars Technica and turned it into a gaming blog, but that's neither here nor there. Of course, with Sony playing musical chairs with SKUs among the different regions, it's very possible that the UK will get the same model, but with a new color, or with a game included, or any number of other things.

IGN is also reporting that GameStop conducted a conference call where store managers were told to expect the 80GB model to die, with an upcoming 120GB model replacing it. There are no hints about when we can expect the system or how much we'll pay, but this seems like a solid lead. I've contacted a few sources at various stores, and they uncharacteristically declined to comment—that rarely happens when information is incorrect.

It looks like the mole was correct yet again, and it no longer looks like a question of if this is going to happen, just when.
