Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has confirmed that the new 80GB model of the PlayStation 3, which will replace the existing 40GB model, is going to be released in Europe on 27th August, 2008 for £299.
“It will be a simultaneous launch across all PAL territories, and reach Russia two weeks later, due to compliance issues,” said SCEE president David Reeves.
“Promotional bundles will arrive between mid-September and mid-December at various prices.
“The 40GB model will be replaced by 80GB. Don’t ask if we’re going to go down in price on 40GB – the answer is no.”
40GB PS3 stock is expected to be out of stock by the time the 80GB model is launched.
