Sony's just announced a 160GB PlayStation 3, which will be released in Europe on October 31 - just in time for Halloween.

The massive PS3 SKU joins the 80GB version, which goes on sale this side of the pond on Friday, August 22 (that's this Friday), Sony has announced at its Leipzig conference.

The 160GB PS3 will go on sale for 449 Euros (£355) and the 80GB will retail for 399 Euros (£315), so no one's going to have excuse for not downloading copious amounts of download content.

Nothing was mentioned about what USB or card slots the new PS3 would feature, although we expect it to have the same functionality as the 40GB model. That means no backwards compatibility. Sound off below, especially if you've just pre-ordered the 80GB version.

In other Sony news the firm has unveiled a new, or rather enhanced, version of PSP. The new design, as with the Slim and Lite, looks very similar to the old PSP. The PSP-3000 though is sporting an "enhanced" LCD screen. Full story here.

On the games front LittleBigPlanet has been dated for October 29 in Europe, alongside the new 160GB PlayStation 3. Heavy Rain was also showcased at the conference, so look out for the assets soon.

There was also news of a wireless PS3 keypad

Not so - if he isn't purchasing any games then the sale of the PS3 to him is a loss. It could have been sold to someone else that would have bought games, to earn Sony some money.

It could have been sold to someone else that would have bought games, to earn Sony some money.Maybe so if there was a stock shortage and he prevented that games-buyer from having it, but there isn't. So now they sold two PS3 to the kid who doesn't use it and the kid who does use it to play games.

You don't get it, do you? It would still have been better off with someone that would play games.
