40GBs PS3 officially announced for North America
If all those leaks didn’t convince you, the official press release from Sony should. 40GBs PS3 (bundled with Spider-Man 3, minus backward compatibility with PS2 games) is launching on November 2nd at the expected price of $399. In addition, Sony just announced a price-cut to the 80GBs version and it will retail for $499, $100 cheaper than the original price.
When Sony first announced PS3, they were mocking Microsoft for having multiple SKUs… but look at Sony now with 2 past versions (20GBs, 60GBs) and 2 current versions (40GBs, 80GBs), limited or even non-existent backward compatibility to PS2 games. It must sting to drink its own medicine…
