Hi all,
Yes you read it right, a 500 Gig PS3 system. It will be available in either Black or White color. Apparently it is 25% smaller and a whopping 20% lighter than the current PS3 model.
Also the 250 Gig model will be out as a bundle in United States on 25th September for about $270 which will include Uncharted 3 and a $30 digital download voucher for Dust 514. However this probably won’t be your best bet as on 30th October United States can get their hands on the 500 Gig model bundled with Assassins Creed 3, no price has been given for that bundle as yet.
I don’t have a date yet for Europe release but it will be before U.S and they won’t be getting the 250 Gig, only the 500 Gig, which in my opinion is the one to go for anyway.
Eventually everything is going to get bigger so if there is a choice to have either 250 or 500gig you may as well go with the larger one.
There will be comments how this one looks less appealing than previous models, and maybe even cheaper looking but at the end of the day with that much space added, you won’t suddenly find yourself having to delete previous games to make room, at least not as much.
My concern is why make this now when the next gen has been announced and will probably hit the market in a year or so, either Sony is having some financial troubles (which i doubt) or there are going to be some insane games due out that takes up a ton of space, this is fairly likely due to the realistic games that are being made with constantly evolving engines giving extremely realistic graphics, story lines and extremely fast loading times.
Another point to mention is why come out with a 250 Gig version when we already have a 320 Gig version (as seen below) for less than $300.
Well, let me know your comments on this and I will try and get hold of the two screenshots that Sony released.
Tony 🙂
