Same as 40GB, so no BC? Wow that is not cool... Lets hope they are adding BC through software emulation in the near future, Unite the PS3's Sony!

Dude you are an idiot. Seriously. There are still games being made for the PS2, not every damn publisher can afford to make high definition titles. That means that right now titles are lower in number because it takes so much more to make them than this generation.
There are still a ton of great non FPS titles you're just too blind and stupid to realize it. 360 isn't getting Disgaea 3, if you're not even pumped for that then you're not worth talking to. Seriously.

I am Laruku and only love Japanese game. Therefore on that logic alone and not waiting a bit longer for Japanese game to come out on the PS3 I will trade it in for 360 that fails 80 to 100% of the time with the RRoD.
*A DAY LATER AFTER 360 PURCHASE*
RIP 360 you died after I played Blue Dragon for a minute.

The fact that it is "CORE" would lead me to believe that there will still be a better version: "PRO" maybe with a bigger HDD and BC. (hopefully)

@ MakaiOokami
well... if publisher cant afford to make high definition titles = more japanese games on xbox360... then i will be more than willing to get a xbox360 because it has games... considering the fact that i already played both valkyria chronicle and Disgaea 3 (all japanese version) 3-4 months ago... what other rpg games are out there other than eternal sonata that already has a release date?... mgs4 was one of the best games i've played... so i am glad i have a ps3 for it... but that's about it... and please don't mention any games that was released before 2008 for defense... when u can't even secure a game that's being developed by a company u've invested in... u are hopeless... and that's what sony is right now...

Here's the main thing though.. If they're bringing out 130 PS>2< games.. then how does that make PS2 owners want to jump to the PS3? This whole conference was like a bundle of almost useless info. The 80gb PS3 will be a 40gb PS3 with just a larger HDD.. Orz.. I was really looking forward to this conference. And no, i'm not a fanboy, this is just my own opinion.

They're struggling to keep up with the influx of info from E3, give them a break!
I think they're doing a damn good job given that there's big news like every 3 minutes.

Whew. I am very sorry, Nate.

Don't apologise to him, you said nothing wrong.

Thanks, Del. Yeah, I wasn't really sorry. I totally thought it was funny that there wasn't an actual sentence in the post. No biggie ... I was just messing around anywho.

I did hear of a while back they would be bringing out a 100 gig model.. Perhaps they are throwing out the 40 gig to make room for 80 and 100????

Seriously Sony, MAG? That's the best you could do? This upgrade is nice, but I mean Come on. I am an Xbox Fanboy but you guys have to start doing better than this.
I wish Sony would turn on the heat to make Microsoft make some bigger changes fast, because MS is getting a little too comfortable being over Sony

C'mon Sony! Keep the tiered method. BC & non-BC. It's the only 'smart' way.
$399.99 is still a great price either way. I just wish they could've added 40GB of more HDD space to counter the 360 Elite offering.

Are you kidding me? That was an excellent showing at E3. Did you expect them to show the same multiplatform games again that we already saw at yesterday's press conferences?
Heck, they didn't even have enough time to cover all the exclusives. What about White Knight Story, FFXIII Versus, Valkyria, Wipeout HD, etc?
