Anyone think it's weird that the 80gig is only coming out in Korea? No official announcement from Sony to when it will come to NA, Japan or Europe? NA/Japan - 20/60gig with Emu chip Europe - 60 gig without Emu Chip Korea - 80 gig without Emu Chip

It'll come out on the NA and EU when sony clear up their 60 gig units.  HD price drop everyday. its probably cost the same having a 60gig. so its a no brainer to up it to 80gig. probably a few dollar difference (within 5-10) it'll look more attractive to consumer.

@larry korea is part of the asian market there, Do comparision with japanese and Hong Kong's price. not using NA or EU price compare at $571 its actually more expensive in korea than the other two asian market. With that high price, sony better pay blizzard millions of dollar to get that Starcraft 2 exclusive. This is the only way I can see korean will buy it.

a ps3 costs 900$ in ME and India. Arent they part of Asia. A ps3 costs 800$ in singapore. Isnt it part of Asia.

an x360 costs 460$ in HK.

isnt 460$ wayyy overpriced for a console without a nextgen player?

so whats the point??????

i have been to HK many times. Trust me they love sony products. I have been to Sogota,Kowloon malls and i never saw xbox on any of the malls in 2003.

HK ,Singapore makes a lot of money from tourists. I myself bought 3 ps1 games back in 1999 from Mustapha and Samsuddin market in Little India,sg.

if i am not wrong the aggregate sales of ps3 surpasses x360 on a monthly basis if you include all of NA,Asia and Europe .

Try to know before posting whimsical stuffs.

in Asia nobody pays 60$ for a pc game. In bangladesh ,India ,Pakistan,Sg,HK ,KOrea you can get pirated pc games for as little as 80 cents. ( i used to buy pc games for that price in Bangaldesh).

The cracks come with the CDs/DVDs.

You would barely find someone who would purchase an original pc game there.

But dont forget the ps1 and ps2 sold a lot of hardwares and softwares in those countries.

EDIT:- typo fixed

wow !!!!

xtrolls never give up!!!

573 (tax inclusive) is 120$ cheaper than 600+15% of 600 =690$.

the 80 gig version contains the same thing as the 60gig version except the additional 20 gig space.

so the koreans are saving 120$.

they are getting a 500$ next gen drive unlike the 2$ dvd drive in the X360.

they are getting the world's best processor all for $ 573 unlike the watered down PPC core in x360.

geez  this has become a troll board.

$573 is $117 cheaper than  $690(which americans pay for a 60gig version).

What you're saying is not true because the Koreans aren't getting the Emotion Engine either.

PS: Haha, larry calling the rest of the board a troll.

u dont need EE when the new 65nm ps3 can do full emulation.

the new ps3 infacts emulates ps2/ps1 games better than what xbox does(54%).

 I also allows fore very fast loading times (evident in GT3/4 especially as the loading times for them used to be rather long. And if you have a HD TV, it also displays PS2 games in HD, so the Korean aren't really losing anything with having the EE chip.

They have not implemented upscaling for PS1/PS2 games. The only game that plays better in the PS3 is God of War 2, unless you have some links pointing to sources stating they have upscaling?

*shakes head in disbelief*

Gee, I wonder why you didn't see any X360s in Hong Kong in 2003. 

In related news, I went to Hawaii three years ago and saw ZERO PS3s on the shelves. Obviously, that console is a flop amongst the islanders.

LOL

You think that's crazy. I've been to the mall in 2007 and I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN A WII!

In 2003, I doubt I saw 360s either
