BIA: Hell's Highway 'Realism' trailerAccording to MCV, Enterbrain chief marketing analyst Mitsunobu Uwatoko believes that SCE Japan may follow the footsteps of the U.S. and release an 80GB PlayStation 3 package.
After seeing how the U.S. market reacted to the price cut and the announcement of a new 80GB SKU, Uwatoko suggests that the Japanese industry will be expecting a similar move.
“The $100 price cut with the 20GB upgrade in the US was not really surprising, as there have been rumours, given that the PS3 has been struggling. It’s like the time has come.
"In Japan too, PS3’s HDD will perhaps be much bigger. And nobody thinks that the 60GB or the 20GB will last much longer,” stated Uwatoko.
With how well U.S. consumers are responding to the recent changes in PS3 price and HDD improvements it really is only a matter of time until Sony announces the same offer for Japan.
Stay tuned to PSU for more information.

1st fu*kers! ahaha.
You are a fu&^% tard.. Everybody STOP WITH THE FIRST!!!!!!! But this comes as no surprise. Especially after the announcement in Australia
Ha Ha! third comment! see? not that special. just like first commenting.
Playstation will reign supreme soon, very soon!
haha how about every one shut the f*ck about not 1sp posting and 1st posting cuze those b*tches who say first posters are sh*t heads are just as annoying as people who say first post maybe even more annoying SO SHUT THE F*CK UP ABOUT!AND I REALY DONT GIVE A SH*T ABOUT THIS
Still oughta release a Sony made HDD for the PS3 so consumers can see how easy it is to swap it out but w/e. Sony is doing well, thats what matters.
I hope you people understand that the Japanese consumer is as different from the rest of the world as say oranges and apples.
i think people are just jealous cuz they cant post first! aha!
not a suprprise.i sense sony will do dat
psn id: gingo.... i personally like the approach europe is taking with releasing a starter pack and possibly bringing out a ps3 with a 120gb hdd
I'm first no matter where I post. I think the people who run PSU should go threw and delete the first post people =)
indeed
Who actually cares about an extra 20GB? That not a lot of space for a media hub that is HD. It will go with no problem. They should have came out with a 120GB like the Elite. Something you can do some real work on. Besides, I hate the fact that my Linux doesn't have enough space
Just go and get a nice 500gb sata drive and swap it out, not a big deal.
