Sony said they were dropping the price of 80 GIG to $399 USD in September. Does anybody know when its coming out in Canada and what the price will be? I know that Future Shop is currently selling a PS3 80 Gig for $499 CDN and comes with Metal Gear Solid 4. Will i really be saving any money by going for that $399 USD PS3 80 Gig since in Canada they always raise the price by like $30...?

Buy the MGS4 80gb console. This version comes with memory card readers (for flash cards, like those used in the PSP, phones, cameras), has four USB slots and it's got limited backwards compatibility with PS2 games.

The new 80gb is the 40gb model but with an 80gb hard drive. No PS2 compatibility, no memory card reader and only two USB slots.

Even if you don't like MGS4, trade it in or sell it, but you really want the MGS4 80gb over the new 80gb. In my opinion, any price difference between the MGS4 80gb and new 80gb is worth getting some PS2 compatibility and the extra hardware. Canada should get the new 80gb at the same time the US does, but the MGS4 version is worth the money

It's not really a price drop. Current models are going to be phased out. Instead, there will be 40GB version with 80GB HDD for the price of 40GB. You're just getting extra 40GB, but no backwards compatibility, extra USBs or memory card reader.

I don't know.
