Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

It was already confirmed it is the same 80 GB as in the motorstorm bundle, i.e. backwards compatible.

 I don't understand what your saying either because the 80gb ps3 is sold out in north americahttp://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=19211#end  

 



1/ PS3 80gb is sold out in some place but I doubt it is completely sold out in NA
At least, it is easier to find a 80gb than a premium/elite in NA

2/ I have the impression they will release the 80gb + dual shock 3 in NA BEFORE the MGS4 bundle, am I wrong ?

I haven't seen 80gb ps3s in weeks, and they have been completely removed from Best Buy's website. Also, they're sold out at Amazon, and sell out almost immediately when they come back in stock.

The 80gb ps3's have been in short suply for a while, and it's the reason that I've shrugged off the 360's shortages. Both have been having shortages, yet the ps3 STILL outsells it in NA.



I think it's a bit confusing, all these different PS3 bundles, models and packages being released.
