Re: Europe to get 80GB PS3?
Might get one eventually, are they reducing the GPU as well in the (near) future?

Re: Europe to get 80GB PS3?
Why not install a bigger hard drive but buy the cheap 40gb version 
All you need is a 5400rpm Sata drive and don't push it over the 250gb mark.
This DOES NOT invalidate your warranty with sony if you install a new hard drive.
I am pretty sure that's the right specs for it after reading it somewhere.

Yup, although AFAIK you can take it up to 320GB.

The 80GB model is more energy efficient for what its worth.

Same as the 40GB isn't it? 65nm process Cell, etc.

Re: Europe to get 80GB PS3?
Well I'm not 100% because nothing has been confirmed but I read the following and assumed.
Quote:
We don't know for sure if Sony downsized the PlayStation 3's RSX graphics chip to 65nm, matching the already 65nm Cell processor, but we might have some anecdotal evidence from an external source. A forum poster at slickdeals used a Kill-a-watt device to check the power consumption of the 40GB and 80GB models during idle phase, while spinning a DVD and with Metal Gear Solid 4 in the drive, and found a 12-20 watt difference favoring the new 80GB.
It's not enough to say Sony has finally upgraded its RSX graphics chip, but it is interesting to ponder

Re: Europe to get 80GB PS3?
Dont know about the 80GB but I can tell you one thing there's a big weight diffrence between the 60GB and the 40GB models. I have the 60GB and its on the heavy side but my sis bought her BF a 40GB one last week for his B-Day and it was extreamly light I was shocked how much lighter it is compaired to the 60 GB version.
