It's all information that we expected though: 40 GBs, $400, late October. Now, if only Sony would announce it so the leakiest system in history can come ashore.

At least I think so.
It's not the most important thing in the world, but it is a nice perk.. and to lose that just to get a cheaper system seems like a raw deal.
Everything is very rosey in Playstation land, PSP sales are up considerably (they were good anyway, just not as good as the DS). THE PS3 is RELIABLE, and the game studios that have spend the time to learn it's capabilities are getting payback.
Jeez, and here I thought the Folsom Street Fair was raunchy. All this while, male b/c issues have been homosexually fornicating in retail channels right under our noses.

So it will be $399 for a 40gb and $599 for an 80gb.

But knowing sony you know it probably won't. Either way though informed people like us will let those that are less informed in on sony's dark secret.
This sku is a joke in so many ways...
And I'm confused about the price. Is it 399 pounds or dollars?
so it'd be very cost effective if you live in the UK to pay US dollars to import one, if you don't get hosed on shipping (and if the system isnt region locked)
The PS3 is not region locked for PS3 games or Blu-ray movies. However, it IS region locked for legacy games and DVDs.
Unless, of course, they're going to try and sell backwards compatibility as a feature on the higher-end PS3, in which case they'd have a table comparing the different SKUs on the back of them, and the little checkmark wouldn't be there for BC on the 40gb.

I'm waiting for a b/c ps3 at $400, and 5 ps3 exclusives that I'd buy. I'll be waiting a few years

Just like the psp went back to being last place against the DS after enjoying its week of being #1 thanks in part to FF.
Bottom line is that of course you expect to see a bump in sales. But how long will it last? Probably not long at all.
And when your sales are so low to begin with its not hard to see a more than 100% increase...christ a 30% in Wii sales would probably kill that 178% crap...
And yeah the British aren't exactly the brightest bulbs on the planet...lol
Just kidding...sorta
