The 80GB PS3 is 400, not 499.
But it sucks anyways, since it won't have Backward compability.

And not really interesting in anything else that was announced. Microsoft pretty much won the E3 with FFXIII.

I'll still buy a PS3 though.

EDIT:
Hell yeah! Eternal Sonata PS3 is coming to America after all!!
