We have known for a while that the 40GB PS3 was being fazed out with the 80GB PlayStation 3. The new model was not meant to be out until September, but larger storage version will be launched a week early so will be available this Friday.
Many stores are already showing that they will have them ready for shipping on Friday 22, those stores include, GAME, Play, Amazon, and many more.
I missed out on the 60GB version and have the 40GB version, but I am not worried about that as larger hard drives are easy to install. Ok I know you are getting 40GB worth of storage for free, but lets face it 80GB is still small.
Sony have done something great here though, the 80GB PS3 will have more storage than the new 60GB Xbox 360. It seems like Sony and Microsoft are playing a constant game of cat and mouse.
One thing is certain, the larger hard drive will only help to increase sales of what has to be the best games console on the market.

I have been waiting for the new 80GB model to come out. I will buy it for the following reasons
1. Best blu-ray player out there. (Future proof cos its connected!)
2. 400$ only
3. DualShock 3 controller included.
4. ITS A PS3…
Personally I have never owned a gaming console, but have always wanted one, although would hardly get the time to finish one game let alone games.
But Blu-ray.. hell yea!
