The Innocent X said:I think Sony see europe as mission accomplished. One SKU, no BC, and selling well. I doubt Europe will ever see a new model with BC.
Europe got your 80GB hardware but with a 60GB HDD. As in semi-software BC solution rather than full hardware.Tideas said:the 80gb is gone from Europe? Seriously? I know the 60gb never went on sale there, but I thought the 80gb is still around?
Lord Phol said:Yeah it's the same here in Sweden, can't find a 60GB anywhere nowdays.
I really hope that's not the case, I know I'm not the only one here in Sweden complaining about the non existence of BC (anymore), as I've seen plenty of threads/articles discussing it with the release of the 40GB SKU.

The 60GB consoles are sold out since quite before Christmas, specially because they did a Starter Pack (console + 2 sixaxis + 2 games) for 499, so few people bought a 40GB rather than that. Problem is they were clearing the stock so right now its 40GB or bust.
At least SCEE should be announcing something today or tomorrow, because a few stores already spilled that a new Starter Pack is coming this week:
499 for the 40GB PS3 + Ratchet + Uncharted + 2 SixAxis. Considering the normal 40GB PS3 + 1 SixAxis is 399, its a fair better deal. It'll be released this Wednesday-Thrusday...

They pretty much authorise any first party published game if they have sufficient stock. If they only have the pack in units labeled not to be sold separately then you're out of luck.tino said:No Heavenly Sword? Nariko am cry.

Great pack, but a new starter pack now should mean that the introduction of DS3 in Europe is still distant.
Trakdown said:Nice starter pack!
Why is the 2nd sixaxis smaller?

I don't know but...ram said:i dont get the: 2x sixaxis thing. who needs two OLD pads without rumble anyway? even when you need one, the DS3 on the horizont and there arent many local multiplayergames out there.
Narcosis said:It's 1 more HDMI than the 360 has, so it must be better right?
In 2 days to be exact. One major retailer in Portugal is already taking pre-orders:Kurosaki Ichigo said:At least SCEE should be announcing something today or tomorrow, because a few stores already spilled that a new Starter Pack is coming this week:
sakuragi said:The extra HD space is dumb since it will only elevate the price of the console. Since its easy and much cheaper to buy a third party HD and replace the HD yourself, I don't know why they even bother with this.
One console SKU please. 40 gig + Dual shock 3 + software BC + price reduction = win.
Damn, why couldn't they release a silver ps3? I'm tired of seeing all these little scratches on the glossy black .dolemite said:Indeed:
