Sony officially announces 80GB PS3Sony made it official today with an announcement today of the larger capacity 80GB Playstation 3 game console for sale now both online and in stores in the US and Canada. The new system comes bundled with the off-road racing game MotorStorm for $599 USD or $659 CND.

The larger capacity allows users to download and store more games and media through the game console as the number of games and multimedia content from Sony continues to grow. The 60GB PS3 is still available along side this new high-end version retailing for $499 with an recent increase in sales after the recent $100 price drop, according to Sony. There was no mention in the press release about the 20GB models, but they are likely to be going at some reduced rates while they last.

The MotorStorm racing game included with the 80GB PS3 is an online-enabled that allows up to 12 players to play at once. Both the 60GB and the new 80GB models come standard with 1080p video output, Wi-Fi, a SIXASIS wireless controller and a Blu-ray player.
