Sony Working On 80GB PS3 Model?
- Rumors are beginning to resurface regarding Sony developing a larger hard drive for PlayStation 3 following comments from Sony spokesperson Satoshi Fukoka.
“For users who vigorously store [games and other entertainment content] in the PS3, 20GB is probably going to be to small” said Fukoka in an interview with Reuters.
He added, “Even 60GB may not be big enough eventually.”
Fukoka said that none of the inside components of PS3 would be alter with the larger hard drive model. “We are not likely to change its core components and functions such as the Cell, RSX, Blu-ray drive and network capability,” he said.
Sony has already filed an FCC application for an 80GB model.
Breaking News: Sony Discontinues PS3’s 20GB Model
Sony has officially announced that they will discontinue selling the $499 20GB PlayStation 3 model. Retail stores online and offline have already stopped selling the 20GB model, including Sony’s own SonyStyle e-tailer.
“Due to the overwhelming demand for the 60GB model from both retailers and consumers, we have ceased offering the 20GB model here in North America. In addition to the larger internal hard drive, the 60GB PlayStation 3 features added storage media slots and built-in Wi-Fi not found in the 20GB system. Based on retailer and consumer feedback, we have decided to focus our current efforts on the more popular 60GB model” said Dave Karraker, Sr. Director, Corporate Communications at SCEA.
The 20GB models that are still available at select retail stores will continue to sell for $499. If you were to purchase a 20GB PlayStation 3 in the future don’t worry as it will still be “100% supported with software and services, since all PS3s have the same basic architecture (unlike if MSFT were to stop selling their Core system, which would allow publishers to actually use their hard drive for gaming purposes, leaving the Core user out in the cold),” said Karraker.
