#Sony, som nyligen tillkännagav en ny [[PS3]]-version innehållandes en 40 GB stor hårddisk, har i ett nytt meddelande sagt att den nuvarande 60 GB-versionen av konsolen inte längre kommer att säljas i Europa. Efter att samtliga butiker har sålt slut de enheterna så kommer istället 40 GB-modellen av maskinen att bli standard här.
"The 40GB machine represents all the power and potential of PlayStation 3 at a very compelling price. Whilst the feature set of the 40GB is a result of extensive feedback and research, all the 'missing' features should some consumers require them are easily upgraded with USB memory card readers, USB hubs, or bigger external USB or internal HDs.
"The only functionality that is being removed is backwards compatibility - and this is because we believe this less important now than when we launched - as there will be 65 PS3 games available by Christmas. Furthermore we believe we should now be devoting our resources to the future of PlayStation gaming and delivering next generation experiences,"
