Sony May Be Planning 80GB PS3

narramissic writes "Included in a filing made by Sony to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) earlier this month regarding a change to the PlayStation 3's Bluetooth module is notification of a new PS3 game console with a higher-capacity hard-disk drive. From the cover letter: 'The model CECHE01 to be added by the difference of the capacity of hard disk.' It then says the new model will have an 80G-byte drive. Of course, Sony is downplaying these rumours, saying that 'Application to the FCC has been made with various possibilities in mind, however, it does not lead to a new product announcement at this time.'

Jesus...

Everyone's got the same problem: General Motors, George Bush, and now Sony. The populis screems to have less of something, and what do they do? Put out MORE and BIGGER things! It's like how GM saw a fall-off in sales of low-gas-milage vehicles, and in their struggle to keep alive, how do they respond? They put out a brand new line of HUGE SUVs! Similarly, the voters asked Bush to start pulling troups out of Iraq, and what does he do? He sends even more in! Now Sony's facing platauing sales of the PS3, consumers are saying that the unit is too expensive, and what do they do? They make an even more powerful (and most likely, more expensive) one!

What is this new trend? People are screaming for businesses and politicians to CALM THE FUCK DOWN, and they respond by throwing it in our face. This strikes me as bad business. GMs facing possible bankrupcy, Bush's polls are lower than ever... why is Sony so eager to join them?

Steve Jobs (MadTV): "No, what the iRaq needs, precisely, is MORE THINGS!"
