Sony has announced during its press conference that a 160GB PS3 bundle will launch on October 31st. Sony has got its Leipzig bandwagon off and sets a new 160GB model to hit Europe. It will be the same spec as the 80GB but with the extra hard drive space, and priced at EUR 449. The 160GB PS3 system announced at the GC will be available here as part of a new limited-edition bundle that includes the hardware, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune game, a PLAYSTATION Network voucher for PAIN, and a DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller
As per the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit, the PlayStation 3 Wireless Keypad is designed to allow quick text input when composing messages to friends or chatting in compatible games - not to mention PlayStation Home when it finally becomes available. Regular users of the PS3’s web browser will doubtless appreciate not only the addition of the keys, but also a function button which turns the entire surface into a touchpad for mouse navigation. Further, and arguably bettering third-party rival keyboards, the official keypad will slot on top of a SixAxis or DualShock 3 controller, although it talks to the PS3 using its own Bluetooth connection, unlike the 360 pad. Pricing and release dates are under wraps at the moment, but at a guess we’re probably looking at £30 and in time for Christmas.
