80GB PS3 officialy confirmed - Blu-ray Forum

I heard a rumor a couple months ago (probably on this site) that the new version of the PS3 would have increased storage capacity and a better WiFi unit.

I'm not a tech guy. I can sometimes rip my computer open and maybe swap in a new video card or memory but other than that I am all thumbs when it comes to this stuff. So while everyone is saying how easy it is to rip open the PS3 and replace the HDD I am not sure I could do it, and even if I could what kind of OS does PS3 use and how would I get that on there?

As for the upgraded Wifi thingy (card or unit or whatever it is) I do not know if that is actually in the new PS3 models, maybe is only for the next version 150-200GB or whatever, or maybe was just a rumor, but the PS3 60GB I bought in November seems to have a very weak WiFi. I would lose connection or get a spotty connection often.

Now if a new version of a PS3 will have a better WiFi is THAT something you can easily swap out like a HDD or do you basically have to buy a new unit? Because if I have to buy a new unit I will be ticked off (and I will not buy a new unit and just throw away $600). It is one thing if a new version comes out maybe 203 years after launch, but if Sony knew (and they had to have known) that the WiFi was weak, they should have produced a 20gb, a 60gb, and a 100gb or something like that and charged more for the extra storage space and better Wifi. I would definitely have bought the better Wifi.

Storage space I don't really need.
