It appears that Sony has quite different plans for the PAL market where hard drive size for PS3 is concerned - the company has hinted that a 120GB version could well be in the pipeline.
SCEE president and CEO David Reeves has said the leap of 20GB from 60 to 80GB which has occurred in the US is too small a jump in capacity, but 120GB? Now you're talking...
"The difference between 60 and 80GB is very small, we just feel that going up 20GB is not worth it," Reeves told Norwegian website Dagbladet.
However, "If you go to double it, it's worth it", he added. "So maybe you'll see something a little bit later."
Speaking about the recently announced PS3 Starter Pack for PAL territories and why Sony's chosen to do that, Reeves explained "We believe added value works in the PAL territories".
"We don't think it's necessary to reduce the price", he continued. "We think that consumers want added value in Europe. We think it's the right decision."
The right decision from Sony's point of view maybe, but somehow we feel that European punters would be far happier to see the company cut the price of its console.
