Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer.net following earlier reports that the 80GB PlayStation 3 will be launching in Europe shortly.
SCEE president David Reeves confirmed the console will go on sale at GBP 299 / EUR 399 on
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III
Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.
I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."
Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).
Quick google search
No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
Makes sense, it's almost impossible to find a PS3 for sale at the moment. It's actually easier to find a Wii if you can believe that.
Shame there's no BC, but at least people can get the DualShock.
So UK is still paying $600 for a PS3.

Anyways yeah for an extra 40GB free it's a good deal and it can be upgraded at any time.
I think Next-gen Sony will stick with a high-end model like the 60GB model.
where not spending 600, thats how much it came out for in the US, down here in the UK the 60GB PS3 came out for GBP.425, the 60GB then cut down to GBP.350 and during that cut the 40GB PS3 was released at a price of GBP.300, so the 40GB right now cost GBP.300, but now we get the 80GB PS3 in the UK for the same price as the 40GB, and thats GBP.300, pretty cool!.......but i have a question, will these new 80GB PS3's have BC?
You see, this is stupid on Sony's part because anyone who knows about this now wont buy an PS3 until they can get a better deal.
for subsidizing that $399 US price ! It it were this cheap in Europe you'd pay 250 Euro / £199
... the US price doesn't include sales tax tho. Usually the quoted price in UK / Europe includes the VAT doesn't it?
