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.'

    Hello, I'm curious if you're a fanboy troll or just repeat stupid things you hear that aren't true. You can swap out off the shelf drives in your PS3 since launch. Many people buy a '20GB' model and have put 120GB drives and larger in without a hitch. In the words of 4chan your troll is an 'epic failure'.

    So, Wii-fanbois, hw much does your baby-toy have? Something like a 20MB harddisk, I assume. But at least it has such a cute design and cuddly name, wight, faggots?

    this rumor? Plus you can swap PS3 Hard Drives at will,this is a non story. It's obvious a M$ fanboy drummed this up the day after M$ released some bad PR.
