    the wait is pretty ridiculous though! I had a mate wait 5 weeks after the salesman led him on saying he would get straight away, then claimed "they must ll be sold out"

    Yeah i went through all that, and i bought the Bravia the DAY the promo opened. They claimed 20,000 plus units went out free.... You can see the 60 page thread over at AVS. Still i was more than happy to wait a few weeks to save $700
    As for your mate, the sales man lied to him, if he had read the promo then and there, he would of understood how it works. 5 weeks is a good time, i waited more than 2 months.

    Not sure what the above is in English. But i think you need to start looking on the PS3 forums.

    "ver hdd easy to mod" WTF?

    Do you mean 40 or 60gig PS3 units? And what mod???? Is there one? The only mod i know is dropping a larger HDD in them.

    see ur smart to decoded lol.. yep all that mate

    All PS3s still play PS1 games. Just the 40GB doesn't play PS2 titles.

    80GB - PS1, PS2
    60GB - PS1, PS2
    40GB - PS1
    20GB - PS1, PS2

    Well, you learn something everyday. I didn't even know there was a 20gig or 80gig PS3.
    But why anyone would want to play PS1 games on a PS3 is beyond me. I would like to play PS2 games on my PS3 though.



    No wonder Sony were handing out Free 40gig units! No card readers on the 40gig units and no rear facing USB ports either, Doh!

    Yeah i have a 40gig, came free with the telly

    Here is a quote from an email from Sony:

    PS one
    The PS3 has never been equipped with either the CPU or GPU that were used in the original PlayStation, and the backwards compatibility for PS one titles has therefore been made available through software emulation from the beginning. Therefore backwards compatibility for PS1 titles remains the same no matter how many times the model is changed.

    PS2
    On the other hand, backwards compatibility for PS2 titles is largely made possible through the use of actual semiconductors, supported by the PS3 system software. The 20GB and 60GB PS3 models launched in Japan and the USA were equipped with both the PS2 Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesiser chips and we could therefore guarantee over 90% backwards compatibility for PS2 titles.

    The 60GB model launched in Europe was a new model (shared with the 80GB model launched subsequently in USA) which contains only a modified version of the Graphics Synthesiser chip from the PS2 and not the Emotion Engine chip. The European launch model therefore used a combination of software and the modified version of the PS2 Graphics Synthesiser chip to deliver backwards compatibility for PS2 titles. As a result the percentage of backwards compatible PS2 titles was slightly reduced.

    The 40GB model, to be launched in Europe on 10th October, is a new model and is not equipped with any of the semi conductors from the PS2, and backwards compatibility would therefore have to be achieved by software emulation alone. The sheer numbers of PS2 titles available, together with the increased complexity of using a software only solution for each and every title means that to ensure accurate software emulation for the majority would be technically challenging, time consuming and costly. As we have mentioned on several occasions, our engineering resources are now focused on developing new and innovative features and services for the PS3 and, as a result the 40GB model does not have backwards compatibility with PS2 titles.

    The current PS3 system software and future updates will continue to support backwards compatibility for the current 60GB and 80GB models, and publishers can check their new PS2 titles to ensure they play on the 60GB and 80GB models.

    End Quote.

    I do remember seeing a PS3 60gig going on eBay for $1200 only around Christmas time.

    ive got a 60gb one mate
    theres no rear facing usb ports on those either,

    only difference between 40v60
    is that 40 only has 2 front usb ports, no card reader, no emotion chipset aka no ps2 support

    i think thats it

    OP myer are currently having some specials, if yo uwant to save even more money take a look at and get one from overseas, bewarned if something goes wrong you will have issues with warranty.

    WooHoo, i feel like i've had a little win now...... My 40giger isn't as bad as i thought

    The 60 gig can also play SACD, the 40gig can not!

    And to think, the 40gig PS3 is the model replacing the old 60gig PS3. Talk about 4 step backwards!
    I think the accounting dept got thier way
