Sony has announced it will be releasing a new PlayStation 3 SKU that includes a 250GB hard drive.

This SKU will be available in North America at retail on November 3 for $349.99. Sony said it will still continue to offer the 120GB unit.

"The PS3 platform is poised for a tremendous holiday season," said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president, product marketing, SCEA. "We kicked things off early with the new price point and sleek form factor and have continued the momentum with this week's launch of the universally acclaimed exclusive, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves."

"The new 250GB PS3 provides consumers with another compelling hardware option and speaks to the growing consumer appetite for digital content from the PlayStation Network – particularly high-def content that showcases the power of the PS3 system," Steinberg added.

Damn! 250 GB. And the initial price for this is less than one the 60GB came out which was around $600.
 
250 GB is a lot of space. I think most people will be good with the 120GB version unless you plan to download a ton of demoes and video files.

Sure it might run faster cause of more space, but do you know anyone that'd use 250GB? I can't even get close to 10GB on my 80GB PS3 and I have a ton of DLC and game files.

well if you have a 250GB PS3 then you never have to worry about running out of GB to store stuff.

I guess, but it's an extra $50. It's not worth it.
 
I wish they just put a faster hardrive that spins at 10,000 RPM , but the sound will be louder.

Solid State flash memory is fast, but there is a limit of 10 000 -100 000K writes depending on the quality, but regular hard drives can crash and wear out, too.

I have a 60gb PS3, and I'm constantly struggling for space. Mind, I do have pert near 50 games, and some installs can be 4gb each.

50 games?!?!?! I only have 20... well that proved me wrong

It be cool if Sony, MS, and Nintendo can just use USB 2.0 or 3.0 external hard drives for storing game saves, and other files. With USB 3.0 having a maximum speed of 4.8Gbps, it should be fast enough for running games off of. It will make the console cheaper, and a lot of people have spare external hard drives which they don't use much anymore on their PC because they replaced it with a bigger 1 TB external drive. It also make replacing, and repairing the console easier.
