Top 10 Games to revive for the PlayStation 3
Kratos not appearing in Soul Calibur IV
War torn streets in SOCOM: ConfrontationYesterday we reported that Sony Computer Entertainment Japan plans to discontinue the 20GB and 60GB models, which will leave the focus only on the 40GB model in the region. Following this announcement, many have questioned Sony’s focus for Europe and North America.
While the European subsidiary of the company has yet to comment on the matter, Sony Computer Entertainment of America has confirmed that they will not realign their strategy at this moment, stating that they aim to continue their focus on the 40GB and 80GB SKUs.
A company statement reads:
"….SCEI made an announcement in reference to Japan no longer shipping the 20GB and 60GB PlayStation 3 configurations. We have already stopped shipping these in the US and have been focused on the 80GB and 40GB configurations, which are currently at retail. As we've said, we will also continue to read and evaluate market trends and communicate with consumers to determine appropriate configurations for each territory."
However, readers should not jump the gun and expect an 160GB announcement any time soon. As it currently stands, the 80GB remains the top choice with the 40GB model being the bargain deal.

Like I said with that last article. At least u can always upgrade your own HD to whatever size you need!
@clarky
congratulations
psn id: gingo.... well i hope this means a 80gb version for the UK because there is only a 40gb version which is not much choice
the 20 gig was a waste of money to make i would rather have a 40 or 60 or 80
i have a 160GB ps3 :]
still not good, should have one mechine to rule them all.
Yeah thats cool at least less confusion I have a 60gb full backwards compatible so I will be cool at least I can upgrade
Really doesn't matter since you can easily upgrade the hard drive. 60GB PS3 upgraded to 250GB here!
i think its really dumb that they took out backwards compatibility...i work at best buy and we have a huge pile of 40 gigs cuz no one wants em while we're sold out of the 80 gigs
No question that Sony will continue to search for the configurations that meet consumer wants and needs.
i dont care really, wheres the RESISTANCE 2 news that should be on here?!!!!!
you guys really need to get that up now, its AWESOME!
well i had a 60 gig version since launch and i am very happy with mine it is the best out of all the sku but good thing they dont have to many psn id: BIGROB904
I would rather have a 20gb (to a 160gb), than a 40gb (to a 160gb), since it CAN play ps2 games.
the 40GB is jus..wack the 20 was better,thing is,they have to stop takin away ps3 features,its wat makes the system wat its suppose to be!
i got mine at launch and haven't upgraded yet its been doing just fine for me I probably will upgrade later but right now thats the least of my worries because of all these GAMES!!!
The size off the hdd isnt something that is so important! I have my 320GB I purchased from a computer store. The inportant things is everythin you cant change afterwards, like how many usb ports you have. focus on those things and dont compare the models by theirs hdd size
Just how would a 160gig HDD cost as as an assessory? Thats like saying hey I got some porn to download, leave me to my "business."
@MrAce: You're just as bad

Imagine that everyone. Sony focuses on its non-discontinued SKUs. What a big surprise.
Well it will be great if a new sku with a higher hdd is released.
So, if you upgrade to a larger HDD...what exactly do you do with the original hard-drive?? It just becomes obsolete won't it?
Now where'd Davey Wales go,wasn't he supposed to like moderate the comments section?
i'm planning on upgrading my 60gb to a 300gb when i have enough money and convert the old hard drive into an external one
