The latest release from Sony is the 80GB PS3 console. This console retails for $699, which is the same price as the 40GB console. The new console comes with twice the hard drive memory capacity and also a dual shock controller. However, this console is not backwards compatible with PS2 games - the only console released in Australia that is compatible with PS2 games was the first release 60GB console which has since been discontinued brand new. Come and see your local Revolution CD store for your new PS3 console, priced from $674.95 brand new and even less for pre-owned.
