Wow mate

you just said you don't want to buy the gay new 40 gb ps3, then asked if you should buy one and if its different.

firstly, if you don't know if its different, then how is it gay?

the differences are usb slots and backwards compatability

if you want a 60 gb or w/e, use the link above.

Definitely try eBay. That's where I got my 60gb PS3.
If you can't get on on eBay, or you don't trust the sellers, then try other websites.

I don't see the problem. After all, they just want some answers. And most of them are new to the site.

Welcome to the site, Pavement. Send me a PM if you have any problems or questions.

Sony have said that if there is enough demand for the 60GB model they will bring it back But the 40GB model is selling better so there is no reason why they would do that now

If you end up getting a 40GB model just get A bigger hadrive (250GB etc) and external USB hub But i wouldnt bother

Hi MuM!

Yes Ebay is best bet, if not there is absolutley No Shop in Australia that would stock atleast 1. If you hate ebay and your desperate than you'd have to buy it of someone you knew.

Cut the guy some slack he's new and how would he know that for 1 year before he joined there has been the same thread. He is a guy in need lets do the right thing and help, not winge!

i don,t think there is anything wrong with the 40G if you want the the memory card slots buy a memory card reader off ebay or any elec shop you can upgrade the HDD and if you wanted the 60G model for backwards compatible its crap most of the decent games don,t work anyway so just keep your ps2 and as for the 2 usb ports i,ve only used 1 and thats just to charge the controler and hook up my psp

I actually think the 40GB is perfect, no backward compatibility(never needed it) 40GB is heaps of space(Just stream your media from your comp) SD card readers gone(don't need it just plug in your camera) 2 USB ports removed(How much stuff do you actually want dangling of your PS3, get a multi hub if needed)

..but that's just me.

Well, if someone does want to play PS2 games, then buy a PS2 as well. They're cheap now any way. So no backwards compatibility isn't that much of an issue (but I can say that because I already have a 60gb PS3 and my old PS2 ).
