RedM Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I reckon you'll need to traipse around some stores as they are impossible to find online. Toys R Us is a good bet. They react really slowly to changes in price and spec in-store. Failing that try any independent electrical retailers or small independent game shops.

charlton Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 since the dumb asses at sony decided to only produce 40gb ones with no backward compatibility and no card slots the 60gb model has been discontinued. Why was the 60GB discontinued? I also heard something about an 80GB slim one instead - anyone else heard of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yeah - the 80GB is replacing the 60GB one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I can get them over here will check price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yeah - the 80GB is replacing the 60GB one. I cant seem to find much info about it, is the spec the same as the 60GB but with a larger hard disk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Pretty much. The only other difference is that they've removed the emotion chip, which is required for hardware emulation of the PS2, which means the new 80 gig one won't be able to play all PS2 games.

adam bell Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 we have 2 at work we are selling for 500 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats stupid, not that I will end up playing PS2 games on there. I dont play any PSone games on the PS2. Still the size of the hard drive doesn't matter because you can swap it - or at least I will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 apparently the 80gb may be coming out in April, but if it doesn't havw the chip i may as well not wait. but then again ive also heard sony aren't planing to release the 80gb in Europe so we're stuck with the 40gb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Seem to be a few on amazon .com (80 gb) maybe get one of the firendly stateside traders to ship it to you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Seem to be a few on amazon .com (80 gb) maybe get one of the firendly stateside traders to ship it to you ? to be honest if it doesnt have the chip i'd rather just get a 40gb one and use the extra money on games and dvds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Seem to be a few on amazon .com (80 gb) maybe get one of the firendly stateside traders to ship it to you ? just seen those, the US version will work fine in the UK wouldn't it?
