With one million PS3s out in the wild, and over two million games sold, SCEE boss David Reeves is in a buoyant mood. And when he's buoyant, he's talkative, especially when it comes to the subject of the 20 and 80GB models of the PS3. And how neither are likely to be seen in Europe.
I can confirm that it's highly unlikely that the 20Gb version will be launch in PAL territories. The majority of retailers are happy that we launched with just the one unit. It has made things simple for them.As for the 80Gb console, there are markets like Korea where there's very high broadband penetration and the people there are used to downloading content, so they require a certain size hard drive. But at the moment we don't see a requirement for launching this version in Europe. Certainly not in the foreseeable future.
The 20GB, it was expected. Thanks for coming. But those comments on the 80GB model...less so. 80's not much bigger than 60, David, so why the need to go out of your way saying Europe doesn't need the storage space?
Unless...oh. Of course. Europe, when Sony starts rolling movies and TV shows out onto the PlayStation Store, don't be surprised if, just like Xbox Live, you get fucked.
