Sony announces new 80GB PS3, Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle

02-26-2008, 08:27 PM

Amid speculation that Sony could be moving to a single SKU world by discontinuing the 80GB version of its PlayStation 3 console (thus axing PS3 backwards compatibility altogether), the company has come out to dispel those rumors with a new 80GB PS3 bundle that will include the highly-anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

In addition to the game and system, the bundle will include a DualShock 3 controller which will bring back vibration force feedback to the PlayStation 3 controller. The bundle will be available in April and will retail for $499 ? considering the 40GB model currently sells for $399 and Blu-ray's victory, that?s a pretty good deal.

If the new 80GB has the backward compatibility also, then thats good news for me. I might even have the money to buy it by the time it comes out in June!

Who didn?t see this coming, it was more than obvious they would do something like this for MGS4.

When it comes to the backwards compatibility think XBox 360

People who play/own a ps3 have small wangs and compensate for their shortcoming......by buying an overpriced POS.

ok and how is it a POS?

I am still uncertain whether I made a mistake on getting the PS3 on the first day. I guess the only benefit is the original Emotion Engine.

My company gave everyone a PS3 last xmas, but it was the 40GB one. Are there any other benefits on the 80GB besides more file space?

What does the emotion engine do if the PS3 can to a backwards compatibility with out it?

The chip was what allowed complete backwards capability to older games. The PS2 had this chip. I completely forgot why Sony stopped using it. My 60 gig has it so I'm happy.
