New 80GB PS3 Question for PS3 Experts.

Any ways I'm furious on Sony's choices. They keep making us confused and like WTF. I just bought my 40GB i love it. Got it for $420 Dollars with tax. And then , They just released a 80GB for $400??? Is it the same 80GB or is it just a 40GB PS3 with 40GB more space. Because I am really pissed off. Just need confirmation. Does the new 80GB allow backwards compatability?

Thanks

The 80gb models sold now do not have backwards compatability.

There may be a few on the internet you can fidn with it, but Sony's ceased production of these models.

you got hosed unfortunately... the new 80gb is of course twice the HDD space (which considering all the games with required installation at 5gb, is really useful).. it also comes with a dual shock controller instead of the regular one yours came with. If you got your ps3 in the last 30 days, I'd return it and get the other one.

Sony is really taking the piss this gen

i bought my ps3 this june. its the 80gb with *limited* backward compatibility but all my ps2 games dont work on it. i shouldve bought the 60gb launch ps3 when i had the chance.boybrushdred

what ps2 games are you playing? every ps2 game ive played on my ps3 ran perfectly fine, youre either lying, exxagerating or playing REALLY rare games

Try games like God of War, God of War 2, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, Okami, MGS2, MGS3, etc since they all work ... in fact if your 80gb+MGS4(or Motorstorm) bundle should play 75% of PS2 games.

Sony is making its fan boys pissed as hell.

Thanks for you help guys.
