What, the missus only got you socks and a tie for Christmas? Well, have no worries, because Amazon.com is lookin’ out for ya. Their Video Games Deal of the Day is giving a cool $50 discount on the 80GB Playstation 3. What do you need to know about the 80GB? Well, it doesn’t have PS2 compatibility, but then neither do any of the units sold today, unless you get your hands on any of the discontinued bundles. Joystiq has a nice chart, updated as of this past holiday season, which explains the whole kit and kaboodle, which you can find here.

Remember, this deal is good only for today and while supplies last, so buy now and ask for forgiveness later!

October 20 is going to be a very, very busy week. Moms and Dads can impress the kids with their amateur game design skills when LittleBigPlanet is finally released to the masses on PS3. Originally announced way back in January 2007, LBP supports up to four players locally or online. Sounds like a family function to us!
