Sony May Be Planning 80GB PS3

Posted by Zonk on from the convenient-leak dept.

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.'

    Because when people consider a PS3, they think to themselves, hmm, I just don't feel like they've packed enough shit in there already.

    Exec 1 : "Microsoft released a more expensive console. It costs only $20 less than our low-end system!!!"
    Exec 2 : "$20? Unacceptable... add a larger hard drive tack on another $100 to the price! We'll show them who's console costs more. ... Smug bastards."
