So if you only have two usb ports in the front you have the newer 80gb model, which will not play ps2 games.

It is because Sony is trying to cut costs because they are losing too much money selling each ps3 or so I heard...

Yes, it is true. PS2 games will not work on the new PS3's because it isn't backwards compatible anymore, unlike the earlier release...

Cost-cutting measures...
