The new 160GB PS3 unveiled at Leipzig will be available across North America as part of a new limited edition Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune bundle. The bundle will be available in November for $499.99.

The bundle will include a copy of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, a PSN voucher for PAIN and a Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller. SCEA also confirmed that the previously announced 80GB PS3 has started shipping to retailers. It will be available for $399.99.

According to SCEA, PS3 momentum has soared in 2008 thanks to Blu-ray becoming the HD standard and the launch of key franchises including Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Grand Theft Auto IV and Metal Gear Solid 4. Sony anticipate that this momentum will continue into the holidays and beyond with their line-up including PS3 exclusives such as Buzz! Quiz TV, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, MotorStorm Pacific Rift and Killzone 2.
