FOSTER CITY, Calif., August 20, 2008 <\/strong>\u2013 Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced plans to introduce a new 160GB PLAYSTATION\u00ae3 (PS3\u2122) computer entertainment system in North America as part of the limited-edition Uncharted: Drake\u2019s Fortune\u2122<\/em> PS3 system bundle. The increased storage size enables entertainment enthusiasts to store even more movies, television shows, and games downloaded from PLAYSTATION\u00aeNetwork, as well as more videos, music, and photos from their personal collection. Slated to launch in November for $499.99 (MSRP), the 160GB PS3 system will come bundled with the hit game, Uncharted: Drake\u2019s Fortune\u2122<\/em>, a PLAYSTATION Network voucher for PAIN<\/em>, and a DUALSHOCK\u00ae3 wireless controller. The previously announced 80GB PS3 system ($399.99 MSRP) has started shipping to retailers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAs PLAYSTATION Network continues to evolve with our recently launched video delivery service and more exclusive games, PS3 owners are demanding more storage capacity,\u201d said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. \u201cConsumers also are utilizing PS3 as an entertainment hub for their digital media, placing content such as their entire music collection on the hard drive. The 160GB PS3 system addresses this growing consumer demand in a compelling bundle that delivers significant value.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Uncharted: Drake\u2019s Fortune<\/em> PS3 bundle includes the following components:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u3000\u2022\t160GB PS3 system \u2013 The 160GB PS3 is a complete entertainment system comprising a Blu-ray\u2122 Disc player, HDMI output, an integrated Wi-Fi connection, and Cell Broadband Engine\u2122.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u3000\u2022\tUncharted: Drake\u2019s Fortune<\/em> \u2013 A 400-year-old clue found in the coffin of Sir Francis Drake sets a modern-day fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, on an exploration for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The search turns deadly when Drake becomes stranded on the island and hunted by mercenaries. Outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the terrible secrets hidden on the Island.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u3000\u2022\tPAIN<\/em> PLAYSTATION Network Voucher* \u2013 PAIN<\/em> boldly tackles a rarely explored area of video-gaming\u2026comedy. The unique mechanic of the game allows the player to load a character into a human-sized, ultra-powerful slingshot, and fire the character into an active, physics-controlled environment, filled with precarious and humorous situations. Download PAIN from PLAYSTATION Store (http:\/\/store.playstation.com<\/a>) to your PS3 system with the included voucher.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u3000\u2022 DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller \u2013 DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS\u2122 motion sensing technology. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The additional storage space of the 160GB model will benefit consumers, as several highly anticipated PLAYSTATION Network and PS3 games along with add-on content will be available for download soon, including PAIN Amusement Park, Ratchet & Clank\u00aeFuture: Quest for Booty\u2122, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation<\/em>, and The Last Guy\u2122<\/em>. The bundle is also a great option for consumers who want to utilize PLAYSTATION Network\u2019s video delivery service, which offers new blockbuster movies and popular TV shows for download on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

PS3 momentum has soared in 2008, starting with Blu-ray becoming the high-definition standard and following the launches of key franchise titles, including Gran Turismo\u2122 5 Prologue, Grand Theft Auto\u2122 IV<\/em>, and Metal Gear Solid\u00ae4: Guns of the Patriots<\/em>. That momentum will continue into the holidays and beyond, as PS3\u2019s software lineup will offer the most depth and breadth of any platform across the industry, delivering highly anticipated exclusives such as BUZZ!\u2122: Quiz TV, LittleBigPlanet\u2122, Resistance\u2122 2, MotorStorm\u2122 Pacific Rift<\/em>, and Killzone\u2122 2<\/em>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
