80GB is not dead! Dual Shock 3 in April

Reports from across retailers over the past month revealed that the 80GB PS3 was being pulled from store shelves and thus killing the backwards compatibility of Sony's Playstation 3. Today SCEA announced something much better than the old 80GB Motorstorm pack: The 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 Dual Shock Pack! No release date has been announced from the SKU, but I expect it to ship in June, day and date with MGS 4. This pack will include an 80GB PS3 (with software emulation for PS2 backward compatibility), a copy of MGS4, and a Dual Shock 3 controller for $499.99! With the Motorstorm pack available for the same price, this new pack is a no-brainer.

For those of you who just want to get their hands on a Dual Shock 3 like me, they will be released for $55 on April 15, 2008 to coincide with the release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. I hope their is a Gamestop or another video game retailer located next to your post office, being that you will be mailing out your taxes on that day anyway.
