80GB Playstation 3 Available For Pre-Order

We knew the 80GB Playstation 3 would be hitting our shores, and it looks like EB Games may be the first to offer up a pre-order. Compared to the original PS3, the $599 seems great, considering it includes a larger hard drive and a game. Assuming the game can be had for $50, that means your 20GB gain is also $50. The ‘original’ console now retails for $499, so it’s up to you to decide whether or not Motorstorm and the extra 20GB gain is worth your $100.

It may seem a bit of overkill to pre-order a system that’s already available and hasn’t exactly been flying off shelves, but those who want to pay $600 for their game system as a matter of pride or only like a limited number of the PS2 games they own may want to act fast. — If some are to be believed, you may have less time to buy a $600 PS3 than you think.
