Sony replacing 40GB with 80GB, nothing else change



At the E3 event, Sony announced that the 40GB PS3 is going to be phased out with the 80GB SKU. What's interesting is that the price pointer will stay at the 40GB. So basically, you will get an PS3 for the same price with double the storage. Hardly anything exciting, if you ask me.

What I'd like to know is if it includes the Dual Shock 3 controller.

In other news, Sony is going to sell a "Family Value Pack" PS2. Yes, PS2. For a cent shy of $150, you get a PS2, Lego Batman and Justice League: New Frontier on DVD. It seems like Sony is the only company still selling an old Gen console. Good thing? Bad thing? Hard to tell. But with the price of PS3 still somewhere north of $1,000. $150 is a very attractive price pointer indeed.
