Leipzig: New 160GB PS3 out in October

Sony has revealed it is to launch a 160GB PlayStation 3 console in Europe on October 31 during its press conference at the Leipzig Games Convention.

Present David Reeves told the audience that the new system will retail for €449 (£355) and will include €70 (£55) worth of additional downloadable content, which will be detailed near to its launch.

Sony only confirmed its 80GB PS3 at the E3 show last month.

Despite initially stating the 80GB PS3 will launch on August 27, however, Reeves confirmed at Leipzig that it will now launch this tomorrow.
