MCVUK: "The entry-level 160GB PS3 SKU is not being phased out at retail, an SCE UK spokesperson has told MCV.
GAME was until recently selling it for just £159.99 – a £90 saving over its RRP – but stocks have run out. Play.com has slashed the price to £199.99 while ShopTo is selling it for £224.86.
However, Sony has vowed to bring additional shipments into the UK shortly."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Price cut is coming. It's these types of rumors that we started to hear prior to the last cut. You can feel it in the air. And they'll do it at Gamescon again, just like they did when the price went down to $300. The only question is, is it a price cut to $250 or $200?
249.99 and 299 bundle, if you look at the manufacturing cost of the PS3 they are not able to put themselves at 199.99, yet.
The 160gb drive doesn't have much life left. For some vendors 250gb is now the smallest they make and the rest will all follow shortly. So the 160gb model will become the 250gb model and the 320gb will become the 500gb model.
Not that it really matters, I usually recommend people to just buy the cheapest and upgrade their own drive when the time comes. It's cheaper and let's you put what you want in it. If you want to spend the money you can go for a faster drive, hybrid drive or even SSD.
Just to let u know target has started phasing out ps3s. We have had no new shipments fo 3 weeks, last we got was call of duty bundle and that has been sold out for a week.
