PS3 speculation (don't know what to do)?

May be...

Hi i'm from the UK.



After my 360 died I was thinking on buying a ps3, but the only option is the entry level 40gb version for £299 (sed 2 myself nice deal)



I found out that this was the same price as the US 80gb model (WAAT?!) tax, transportation cost does not reveal why it is a few $100's more than the US 40gb ps3. My mate told me to wait cuz they might release another version of the ps3 with the 40gb ps3 to give sony eu/uk customers choice - (My mates gotta 40gb version cuz it was the only option "regret")



Theres a ridiculous amount of speculation on sonys plans e.g. worldwide release of 80gb bundle with MSG4, release on 120gb - 160gb ps3? You know what I mean. I loved it when the ps2 came out because it was 1 straight forward purchase.



Why is europe put last? we are the 2nd biggest consumers to buy the ps3 but get a low end option + deal (can you feel my pain)



Does anyone know if sony will equal out the option on ps3 versions worldwide and when?



Wanna buy ps3 soon

Actually, in Europe, it's been pretty straightfoward purchase.



Sony only launched the 60GB in Europe. (America also got a 20GB version.) Once the 60GB version was discontinued, Sony released the 40GB version. Europe has never had two officially supported SKUs for sale at once.



You can wait if you want, there'd be no harm. The games aren't going anywhere. I wouldn't expect any announcement before E3 in July though. That's after Metal Gear Solid 4 launches. And I've heard nothing of a MGS 4 bundle for Europe.



However, just a couple of days ago, UK retailer Shopto, announced a GTAIV bundle.

That's probably your best bet for a good deal.

well the 40GB sucks anyway it cant play PS2 games. cant u just order a 80GB from the us just a few more dollars

Yes there is an 80gh version with Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle pack coming out around June 12th..from what i've read..and it's only suppose to be 500.00 which is quite the deal if you ask me.... plus the ps3 will be silver not black....it's a limited edition offer so basically a first come first serve... i found the information on ps3fanboy.com if you want to check it out.
