    Will the PS3 20Gb unit be available in the U.K?

    We rang around some of the retailers to find out if we could pre-order the cheaper version of the PS3.

    Check out the Headline for more info.

    I hope Sony don't release the 20Gb version. Having 2 version that are electronically different is going to cause a headache for Sony. Especially if the lower version doesn't come with wireless controller support as reported on Gamesradar last week. At least MS gave you the ability to upgrade to the Premium you won't be able to do that with the PS3.

    latest word is that the 20gb model is "mostly" upgradable - only bit that can't be added is HDMI

    The "not having wireless controllers" bit is FUD btw.

    20gb model = no card-reader, no wi-fi, no hdmi, and a smaller HDD, and that's it..

    As Hexxy pointed out, everything else can be added on/upgraded apart from the lack of HDMI, which isn't that much of an issue anyway.
