Finally. I had to talk the woman out of buying one on Sunday. She didn't believe all the rumor crap I've shown her over the last month so glad they finally announced it.

I'm more excited about the price cut, but the bigger hard drive, unit size, and less power consumption are all plusses. No backwards compatability but really, you can buy a PS2 on the cheap so who really needs that? Price cuts on existing models come tomorrow, wonder how cheap the current 80 gig will be compared to it's current $400 tag.
