40GB PS3 / Spider-Man 3 bundle coming in November

ugh, another UPC? talk about segmenting the market… Once Nintendo offers a new DVD-enabled Wii that’ll be the complete trifecta.

What is it with companies releasing new versions of their hardware right away these days?

I know, this is crazy, I don’t think any console before has gone thru a dozen of hardware updates w/in a year of its release. For a new technology like Blu-ray or DVD burners back then, I can understand each iteration getting better and cheap in a short period of time, but a console that is supposed to last for the next 5-6 yrs, talk about them giving consumers a jib. I’m still peeved getting stuck w/ a 20Gb HDD for my 360 which constantly runs out of room, meaning I need to dish out an addt’l $200 for a bigger hard drive. When Sony axed the 20Gb, I thought great, just one version of system, now it’s like 6.
