At the moment no 120gig ps3 coming out. Sony have never said they would release one.

Well they might release the 80gig version here(wich can play ps2 games). But if they do it will be closer to Christmas, probably around October.

If I didn't have a PS3 at the moment, I'd probably be looking forward to the 80GB version.

But yea ... after purchasing my 40GB PS3 ... I bought a PS2 for like $190 just so that I could play God of War 1 and 2 lol

Sony has created an up-sized version of its PlayStation 3 console for the South Korean market, but says it has no plans to launch the larger model in Australia or elsewhere.

Sony Europe will probably have some announcements after E3 in America has finished up. So some time in July.

Well that’s only a rumor at the moment. But I doubt it as they have no need to introduce sku's with lager HDD.

Are you serious?

Its a standard laptop 2.5 inch SATA Hard drive.

Virtually ANYONE who sells PC harddrives will have them.
