There are no prisoners being taken in the gaming wars with Sony announcing they will be releasing a PS3 with 80GB of storage that will be the same price as the current 40GB model. It will replace the current 40GB model and will cost the same price.
This comes out at the same time Microsoft has announced its new Xbox Pro with 60GB of storage will replace the 20GB version, but also stay at the same price as the older model.

As well as increased storage, the unit comes with a Dualshock3 wireless controller. Utilising Bluetooth technology for wireless game play, the Dualshock 3 includes SIXAXIS motion sensing technology and in-built rumble, ensuring each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic than ever.
“The 80GB memory allows you consolidate all of your digital music, photos and movies in one central place within the home and experience them on a high definition TV,” said Michael Ephraim, Managing Director SCE Aust. and New Zealand.
While upcoming exclusive PS3 titles, such as Resistance 2 and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation, appeal to gaming enthusiasts, other titles like MotorStorm Pacific Rift and LittleBIGPlanet can be enjoyed by anyone who’s looking for pure entertainment.
