Funny thing is, its not confirmed yet probably will be tho.
40gb will fill up fast, so you can always take out the hard drive and add a bigger one.

Yeah? I thought the biggest 2.5" SATA drive you can get is about 250GB. Do you have links to 750GB ones for sale?

the difference is
it is not backwards compatible,
your looking at two usb slots instead of the four,
it also does not have the memory card readers. and im fairly sure its not chromed.. (but that im not sure, just heard thing bout it). someone also mentioned the ps thing didnt spin lol but i think thats bull**** hahaha
and of course the 40 gig drive. are the big things that changed

i can't belive sony has done this to us, the usb port's and card reader arn't a problem, you can buy cheap external ones that connect to your ps3 through your usb.

But the biggest mistake they have made is getting rid of the backwards compatibility, don't they realise that their biggest selling paltform is the ps2.

shouldn't they just have advertised the fact more heavily that the 60gb ps3 has ps3 backwards compatibility, insted of sliming their already anorexic slim ps2, and cutting away a great feture of the ps3.

I was wondering about this. So I can just use a USB hub to create more USB ports then can I?

Horizontal... In my opinion... Cause it looks better and has a tendency of not falling over, unlike standing it vertically.

The only downside I've had with this was that I needed more USB ports, and it is not backwards compatible with PS2 games. Fixed my USB problem with a cheap $15 4 way USB hub, and I already have a PS2 so it's all good
