The European 60Gb was 599€ which equals to US$850. I’m honestly a bit bitten in the behind that the Europeans have to pay US$250 more then the Americans. I feel that we have to compensate for the low dollar course at the moment.

1£ = 1,5€ = $2,13

I agree that Sony needs to start bundling. For example a limited edition MGS4 PS3 bundle (1 million units) with a 120Gb PS3 and a special casing theme for a premium price (599€-649€)

60 GB is the best I think. Has all the features. And I’ve used all those features as well. Memory card ports, wifi, can play PS2/PS1 games, 4 usb ports, etc. I’m so glad I have my 60 GB PS3 (now 160 GB ). I would never buy the 40 GB PS3 if I could help it, the price is great sure, but I love playing PS2 games sometimes.

I think Sony should stick with the 60GB model at a lower price, say £299 or £349. The 40GB model in my opinion is just bizarre. They never released the original 20GB model here in the UK/Europe because they believed no-one would want it.

Now they’ve come up with some bastardised, halfway-house SKU. To me, it shows a lack of faith in the 60GB machine, which could have sold massive amounts with a slight price drop - which in turn could no doubt have been covered by the costs of ‘developing’ this new model.

Phasing out the 60GB machine with it’s 4 USB slots and card readers also flies in the face of Sony’s ‘vision’ of the PS3 as the hub of every home’s media centre. Okay, you can buy a USB card reader, but then you’re entering Xbox 360 territory, where all the ‘cool’ features are optional, at extra cost.

All I know is, I’m extremely glad I got my launch machine with all the bells and whistles.

I use my 60gb launch ps3’s memory card ports all the time…I download music from my computer to a usb stick, BAM! onto the PS3 it goes. I take pictures with the camera on my Palm Treo, save them to the SD card, save them to the PS3. I transfer music from the PS3 to the SD card, I have my game saves on my SD card so I can take them to a friends….ETC…. I love my 60gb.

If I need more HDD space I’ll just hit up newegg.com! Perhaps a 200gb PS3?

None of the above^^

The new (soon to die) EU starterpack for 499€ (RFOM and MS included with a 60GB BC PS3)
