Well, the long-standing rumor of an 80GB PS3 has finally become official as Sony, attempting to make a big Pre-E3 Splash, has announced that they will indeed be releasing an 80GB PS3 as. The console, which will have MotorStorm as a pack-in game, is expected for an August release.

In other news, the rumored “temporary” PS3 Price Drop has become permanent, dropping the PS3 price-tag to a slightly-more-affordable $499.

This makes the PS3 the first of the big three consoles to lower their price. I think I can speak for you, me, Magdalena, Tommy, Paco, Tim, Stuart, Alex, and the ever-mysterious “Staff Writer” when I say that I hope the other manufacturers follow suit with a price-drop.
