80GB PS3 To Hit 'All PAL Territories' On August 27
Chatting at a secret Europeans-only gig in Santa Monica, SCEE boss David Reeves has announced that the 80GB PlayStation 3 - unveiled at Sony's E3 address yesterday - will be released simultaneously "across all PAL territories" on August 27. It'll be priced at £299/€400, and as in the US, it'll be straight-up replacing the 40GB unit (which Reeves says is almost out of stock, and will not be seeing a temporary price cut).

a new console and still lacking something as simple as backwards compatibility, disappointed.
oh wow, thats my birthday. How very convenient :D
I suppose we in Australia will continue be bent over and raped by our retailers....
Sony really has played the worst marketing game of all time. The Yankee released NTSC PS3 versions always pack more features than the Australian counterparts. Why is it that Sony has such a mixed bag of PS3 models? Why don't all of them have PS2 compatability, 4 usb ports and flash cards. Why the 'runnout' of the PS3 60gig? You've lost me Sony! Got to give X Box a second look now.
