Sony: 'No plans for 120GB PS3 in UK'

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has confirmed it has no plans to introduce a 120GB PlayStation 3 console into the UK.

Online rumours on gaming blog Ars Technica suggested a 120GB PS3 - complete with DualShock 3 controller - will be released in North America.

However, Sony was quick to quash rumours of a UK release after a spokesman from the firm told GamesIndustry: "We do not currently have any plans to release a 120GB PlayStation 3 in the UK."

Sony has previously said it would release a PS3 with a larger hard drive, should consumers demand it, to take advantage of downloadable content from the PlayStation Network.
