So, I have done my research on the ps3 160GB and it STINKS! They are getting rid of all the good features, like the backwards capability, less USB ports, and the memory card reader, I mean wtf! Sony!

:question:Are they still going to have the 80gb?:question:

:cry:

the backwards compatible 80 gig was phased out 3 months ago. the only backwards compatibility 80 gigs that you might find around now are the metal gear solid bundles.

They are getting rid of all of the good features

lolwut, it's pretty much just BC to make it cheaper

Less USB Ports

Get a USB hub for 10 bucks

Memory card reader

I don't find them as useful as just using the USB. Besides, you do have a PC don't you?

I mean wtf!

You should have gotten it before when they first announced it, or if you have a PS3 already, why are you complaining? :?

Are they still going to have the 80gb?

I still see them around. If all else fails, use craigslist or eBay.

Yeah I like the backwards compatibility. I still play GT4 on my PS3 with the logitech wheel and it's awesome. The PS2 still has good games coming out for it and I still occasionally will go to the bargain bins and find some good old PS2 games that I never bothered to play when it first came out.

I mean, I like the fact that my Wii has GCN compatibility too as I just bought Super Mario Sunshine for it (as it's the only Mario platformer that I never played as I never got the GCN) and it's awesome.

Hi, I meant to ask this. But does it work? I tried a USB extension for my wired keyboard, unfortunately it is non-compliant. So you tried it, it works? Thanks in advance.

just buy the 80gb and upgrade the hdd. i bought the new version of the 80gb and i was a lil disappointed cause yeah they took out mostly all the good stuff. i should've bought it a long time ago. it only works on a few psone games of mine. that's the reason why it became cheaper too. but it's ok. i still won't trade it in for an xbox 360 or a wii.
