Question

When will the 80gb PS3 be out in the UK, how much will it be, and can it play PS2 games?

Answer 1

it comes out on the 27/08/08 and it is around £300 with no games in shops and online and yes it can play ps3 games.

Answer 2

Hey  :)

I was on the phone with Sony this morning,

27th August (this month!) is the scheduled release date for UK anyway.

It'll cost £299 same as 40gb.

Minus points for losing USB slots, card reading capability and

being NOT backward compatible.

Quite sad really.

Hence why I'm getting my 60gb repaired and sticking a larger HD in.

Hope I answered your Q =]

Answer 3

I think it's 27.08.2008. It won't play PS2 games. Basically, it's the same 40GB, but with 80GB HDD.
