Sony Announces New PS3 Models

Not to be outdone by Microsoft’s updated Xbox 360, Sony introduced two new PS3 models at today’s Gamescom presser, including one bundled with the company’s forthcoming ‘Move’ motion control peripheral, and packing a whopping 320GB hard drive.

The Move bundle–dubbed the PS3 Sports Champion Move Bundle–will include one controller (the bulbous glowing wand thingy), a copy of Sports Champion, the requisite PlayStation Eye camera, and a Blu-ray game demo disc.

All that, for $399.99.

The other model validates the recently rumored 160GB PS3, and Sony says it’ll sell for $299.99, which we already kinda knew, since it’s was showing up this morning for $299.99 on popular U.S. retailer websites like Amazon and Newegg.
