One more reason not to get a PS3.Sony removes 80GB version of PS3 from shelves
Posted on 28.01.2008 at 13:16 in Tech News by Martin
A memo to Best Buy employees indicates that Sony may be discontinuing the 80GB model of its PlayStation 3, leaving no backwards-compatible versions of the PS3 on store shelves. According to the memo, Best Buy and some other reatilers will stop selling the $499 PS3 on January 28 — next week. Sony late last year stopped selling the 60GB version of the PS3, the only other version of the console that was backwards-compatible with PlayStation 2 games. This memo only affects North American gamers, as the UK and Japanese markets have already moved to a single-SKU model (the 40GB PS3).
If Sony removes the 80GB PS3 from store shelves and ceases all production of that model, there will no longer be a new-SKU PS3 that plays PS2 games. The 60GB PS3, long since gone at retail, used hardware to enable PS2 games to play on the PS3. The 80GB version, which is apparently on its way out, used software emulation to enable playback for many, but not all, PS2 games. With both versions gone, the question begs to be asked: is Sony working on yet another version/configuration of the PS3 that will support PS2 playback, or is it leaving consumers high and dry with their PS2 game libraries?

Oh, for fuck's sake. That means we definitely won't get the 80gb version over here, then. Definitely not buying a PS3.

A bigger HDD doesn't matter at all, you can always install a bigger one (wish you could do the same with the x360, I wouldn't be still debating whether to get the Elite model or not :/ ), now the backwards compatibility, on the other hand... I'm glad I rushed my decision on getting the 60BG model with BC even when there was no game I really wanted to play.
Also, Darth I edited your post, that site contains warez indirectly, if you want to link us to it, please copy and paste the new as I did.

Yeah, backwards compatibility is important to me, especially given the price of the PS3. Physical space is an issue and it'd be nice to have just one console that can also play the majority of the Playstation back catalogue.

I still justify posting links like that by Sprung having warez and TVRips on his FTP, and said because he wasn't linking to it directly it didn't count.

Honestly, I haven't never seen that before. But then again, please, ask him, if he says it's alright, there'll be no prob for any of us either.

Oh, no, he says that it's not okay and all, but that's what he said when I asked about the content on his FTP.

Hurray for sitting in the very back of the classroom corner. This is so boring and even I already know all of the information.
