PlayStation 3 - $100 buys you more than an extra 40GB of disk space
Buyers interested in Sony’s next games console, the PlayStation 3, should be aware that the extra $100 for the high-end model giver them a lot more than just an extra 40GB of hard disk space.
Some background first. The other day Sony announced the launch data and price for the PS3 at its studios in Culver City in Los Angeles. At the time that they announced the two models that would be available, one costing $499 and another costing $599, the only difference that was highlighted was a larger hard drive - 20GB verses 60GB.
However, details later emerged that there were other, more crucial, differences between the consoles. Specifically, the higher-priced model comes with:
- Memory card slot
- WiFi
- An HDMI connector
So beware. Pretty soon stores are going to start offering the PlayStation 3 for pre-order - make sure that you get the features and functionality that you want. You don’t want to end up with the wrong one come November!!!
