You can start ordering the 80GB PS3 (bundled with MotorStorm) from GameStop / EB Games as they are stocking the $599 80GB console (bundled with MotorStorm), and you can expect the console to be shipped in 24 hours [In the States] as they claims.
While Xbox 360 will most probably be selling at a reduce price of $350, PS3 have retain the $599 price tag for the 80GB version and the $499 for the 60GB version.It would be worthwhile to note that the 80GB version have backwards compatibility hardware which means that you can use the software emulation to play older Playstation & Playstation 2 titles and that’s a feature the 60GB version don’t have.
I’m not sure when will the next price drop for the 80GB happen but as of now, it’s still pretty expensive.

No news on DDSquare if we’ll be getting on hands on the PSP Lite, till then, stay tune.
