Sony announced its Playstation PS3 update at the Gamescom expo to bring larger capacity drives to the popular gaming console as well as disc-less Netflix streaming yay.

The PS3 now is available in 160 GB and 320 GB capacities, up from the older 120 GB and 250 GB capacities. The 160 Gb model is already shipping, and will cost the same as the one it replaces at $299. In the U.S., the consoles will only be available in black, though Japanese customers also have a white option. The 320 GB PS3 will be part of the Playstation Move bundle that packs in a motion sensor, Playstation Eye web camera, and will cost $50 higher due to the bundle at the $399 mark.

These new PS3s will be among the first to support the disc-less Netflix streaming service. Prior editions of Playstation required a disc to stream Netflix movie rentals. Its unclear if the PS3s will ship with this feature enabled or if the feature will be enabled via a future firmware update, which will also be available for older systems.
