Very waited by all the players, the press conference of Sony has been just completed with as a final bouquet the details on the launching and the price of the PS3.
Just like Xbox 360, Playstation 3 will be proposed in two versions: one including/understanding a hard disk of 20 GB and the other with a larger capacity of 60 GB. Drum roll, the PS3 will be launched next on November 17 to Europe with the first model with (27,500 INR) and the second for (33,000 INR). What is thus likely to make the Blu-ray reader of it the least expensive market for these festivals of end of the year.
It also should be known that the machine will leave on November 11 to Japan (with only the model with 60 GB). Side of the United States, the machine will be available on November 14 with (27,500 INR) for the version 20 GB and (33,000 INR) for the model 60 GB… You can already note this date on your diary and start to save.
Update: The PS3 will be equipped with a connection Ethernet network for the play in network and to recover a whole variety of contents like updates. Equipped with wearing of input-output, it allows postings in modes NTSC, STAKE and HD (1080i/1080p). The quantity of released heat and the sound harmful effect will be equivalent to that of a PS2 second version (Playstation 2 slim). It will be also able to read Blu-ray discs with a flow of 48Mbps.

No HDMI, no WiFi and no card reader for the low end PS3
Hot on the heels of the Playstation 3 news conference, a PDF document from Sony Japan has revealed more details about the new consoles. Just to recap, there will be two versions of Playstation 3, one with a 20GB hard drive and one with the 60GB hard drive.
On November 11, 2006, Sony will start selling the "lower-end" Playstation 3 for 59,800 Yen, or about $530 USD. This PS3 will feature a 20GB hard drive, gigabit Ethernet and Blu-ray reader. However, a table in the document reveals that the 20GB PS3 will be severely handicapped in several ways.
For starters, only the 60GB PS3A will feature a MemoryStick/SD/CompactFlash reader, though we almost certainly suspect there will be add-on readers. The 20GB PS3 will not feature integrated 802.11b/g. Furthermore, the 20GB version will not feature HDMI output.
The price for the Japanese 60GB Playstation 3 has not yet been announced, but the retail price for the 60GB PS3 with HDMI, WiFi and card reader will be $599 USD. The 20GB P3 will cost $499 USD in the US according to Sony.
