Hope you didn't get your hopes up for that 160GB PS3, Australia (and by extension, New Zealand), as SCE Australia have announced that the console won't be made available in the antipodes. And really, why would it. SCE Aus know better than anyone we're not getting PlayTV or the PSN Video Marketplace anytime soon, so they know better than anyone else we don't need the extra space (and/or they don't need the extra SKU).
