    And is backward compatibility going to come back with this new SKU? Sony really needs to make up its mind and stick to one design already. This is what design number 6 now?

      What the *bleep* that's supposed to mean? Are you trying to say other bundles were bad?

        Yes, seeing as in the UK you can only get the 40gig.

        Problem?

          It doesn't say if we're getting it or not. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't.

          There's also a thing called eBay. Not sure if you heard of it, but...

          It would be pointless getting it off eBay as the 80GB's imported from America don't play PS2 games over here as PS2 games are region locked.

          Yeah, So I should be forced to buy second hand because Sony wont release a bundle over here.
          Plus people don't like using Ebay.

          And there are lots of compatibility issues like Donnelly stated

      "Finally, Now people have a good bundle to buy."
