But using the same setup as the 40GB, so no PS2 backwards compatibility.
This is one sale that's not going to take place for a while then.

Actually the '80GB' model has PS2 partial-softemu compatibility, it's a reduction of the hardware needed that featured in the '60GB' model to keep things cheap.

This one won't. Its the same as the new US sku which replaced the 40gb directly with the only difference being a larger hdd. No backwards compatability I am afraid.

i wish they would just release a cheaper model instead, so they reach the £200 price point and it'll be worth buying for the bluray
i wonder what the older model will go for when the new one comes out

New.. it won't exist, that's why they say 'replace'. Second hand.. well a lot less that it did before the new one came out I guess.

I dojnt want to pay £300, i wanna pay less!
Re: Headlines - PS3 80GB priced at £299 will replace 40GB in Europe
They have done this because of the news about 360 60gb but really £300 is to expensive there better of selling 40gb for £200 then people only have to pay around £40 max for 120gb hard drive.

You have confused a console with a hard drive in it with a hard drive.
Re: Headlines - PS3 80GB priced at £299 will replace 40GB in Europe
The whole "Retail" disk size thing with PS3's is such a non-issue really.
To those wanting a cheaper option,you have to realise you are not going to get a substantially cheaper console just with a smaller hard drive. The real cost difference between a 40gb and a 80gb drive is about a fiver. And anyway, sure the majority who are concerned with disk space will replace it anyway, especially as 250gb disks are under £50.
