Did you type this on a keyboard or on a cellphone?
Anyway, if the US doesn't get an 80GB MGS4 bundle that'll suck but they'll probably still sell quite a few of them anyway. I wonder what's up with Europe not getting the DS3?

If your in the USA were getting the new 80 gig possibly with the new Dual cooling fans instead of one like the old 80 but don't expect it.

I know we are getting a 80gb bundle because its on the sopny website. Look for yourself http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665371946

SCEE hates us!!
What more can I say. It's evident that they hold the european consumer in total and utter contempt.
The rest of the world get 80gb PS3 when we are stuck with 40GB
The rest of the world get dual shock 3 and we get sixaxis.
I'm really fed up with this. I'm seriously considering e-baying my 40gb PS3 and getting an Xbox 360. Sure its not great but I'd rather jump into bed with Microsoft than be bugge*ed by SCEE.
Two words SCEE - FORK YOU!

Maybe the 80G would cost extra (for Sony and Europe) while in the US we still get things relatively cheap. I imagine that's why they only sell 40G in Europe..anything higher would have a bigger price tag and not sell.

You had a year to buy a 60GB, it's only your fault you missed it, perhaps you were too busy crying about the price...

I guess they are trying to beat the xbox over in America by giving all the Yanks the good stuff, while screwing over PAL regions with higher prices, delays & non-releases.
So far I don't think its working . . .

So glad I picked up that DS3 in Japan now.
I'm sure there are some "business" reasons why SCEE are not supporting their customers to the same degree as SCEA or in Japan (demand for DualShocks so high in Japan and US that they can't support Europe at the same time? - I don't know) but they really need to sort it out.
And my generic response to any harangue about "selling my PS3" and "converting to Xbox" is always simply: "Please do it." And then head over to xbox360fanboy.com and post your complaints when that product doesn't do EXACTLY what you want it to.

Sony musy have some idea about how much they're pissing off Europeans, but the whole "too much demand" issue is kind of stupid, if they can't create a greater supply so the whole world can enjoy, then they shouldn't isolate one or two (Australia gets the short straw too) continents and deliver all their new good to just Japan and the States, and lets just consider out of Europe and the States who has the bigger PS3 install base...it is Europe isn't? Otherwise my argument kind of fails right about here :P

why wont sony give europeans a choice about what spec we want to purchase..i would like a unit that has the card readers and usb ports at the rear ( what is the point of having a fantastic looking console if all your add- ons are hanging out the front like it`s just spilled its guts out
