Rumor: 120 - 160 GB PS3 with rumble in the pipeline
An
Ars Technica "mole" reports that the
80GB PS3 is indeed out and will be replaced by a 120- or 160GB PS3 with a DualShock 3 controller at the same price point ($499). Beyond the extra
gigglebytes and the
rumbling controller, the "mole" had nothing else to add; questions regarding backwards compatibility, USB ports and other such incidentals will have to wait for another day.
CVG spoke with Sony Europe which dismissed the story as "
rumour and speculation." Sony America gave us a similar response, minus the British "u." A Sony America spokesperson said, "As you know, we don't comment on rumor or speculation." For those keeping track, the emergence of a new PS3 model would be the
fifth,
sixth,
fourth *mumble* SKU ... actually, we've lost count.
