I think that ps3 just waste them times cause the ps3 40GB not playeing ps2 games and I dont know what the heck of that and only 2 usb ,it just would makes the ps3 name bad ,not good idea from sony to release some thing like that.

seriously who would buy it when its stripped down like that

no bc

no wifi

2 usb

if i didnt have a 60gb i would have got that i dont care how many usb slots it has and i dont care about bc , ps3 for £299 is sweat good bye xboxIQT786

not that great cause it doesnt have card readers, which i use often.chenthurant

Your sig says you own a PS3, why should it matter to you? Hell, the external card readers don't even cost that much and you can hook it up to the Ps3 via usb. I have two lying around the house not being used at all. This anouncement are for people who don't have a PS3 and don't have the money to purchase the 60 GB or 80 Gb (or very cheap people). I think it's a great idea to boost the fanbase, sales,and cause developers to jump on board to make more games because of the growing PS3 community. Ya'll are just not even looking at this as a good thing, alot of people on this forum is only looking at this as negative as possible.

Hell, the guy above my post said he will purchase this 40 GB one over the pleasefixme, that must mean something right? I believe more people will be saying the same thing and grab this great deal which in turn causes more people to own the PS3.

I think its a great budget model for people who want a PS3 but cant afford the 80gb.

Bravo! It's good to see positive posts about this subject. This is actually a great deal as I mentioned so many times already when it comes to these threads about the 40 GB model.

I love the move by Sony. Whatever they can do to get more people to the ps3 the better. I think a lot of people are going to be happy for this model.

I have a ps2 so the b/c is not important to me. The hardrive space should be enough for me. I amlikely getting this one.

Let's see, it was pretty much made for me: Wired home, don't care about Wi-Fi 4 USB would be nice, but thinking about last gen i don't ever remember gaming with 4 or even 2 people all that much. BC? I sold all my PS2 games when it died, i'm buying a PS3 for PS3 games. (+ bluray and folding) Card Readers? In a game console? Don't care.X360PS3AMD05

Same here, I sold ALL my PS2 games(50+games)and the PS2 in order to get my PS3 at a discounted price. I bought a PS3 to play PS3 games. Yes the library is small for PS3 right now but that is going to change soon. I already have a few games I still haven't beaten and Warhawk pretty much takes up most of my time. PS2 games... don't have the time for that old crap. I bought a PS3 to play PS3 games, just like many others.

this is based on the average consumer who just wants to play the ps3 titles. Im not entire sure what is going on here. Did people actualy think that SONY would have released a $400 PS3 with all features attached, as i certaintly did not. Although the price for the 60 gig is only £69 ($138) more... This is good news to move PS3's for the holidays and that is what sony needs right now. The starter pack is obviously the better deal, but as long as consumers know what they are buying then that is their choice. diablos101

EE is supposed to be done with the software on the non-USA 60G, or EE chips if u buy them ealier this year.

So how hard is it to apply the same software on the 40G?

If they are not, are they saying that they no longer care about BC? hence from now on, they will not issue new updates on PS2 titles for BC?

Also feels like SONY is running around in a circle. There isn't much strategy planning shown so far. Why did they discontinue 20G in the first place, if they want to have "lower end" model? Upgrade higher end model all you want, but if you want to have lower end, plz just stick with one. Mass production is the key. Sigh.

But then again, at least it is better than nothing.

Seriously, compared with Microsfot, this move is not that smart. (and no, I am not a xbox fanboy)

good idea to bring more people to the ps3 team...stickstick86

I am overly, ridiculously pleased with this announcement!cannibal127-9

As the marines would say, "Your one of the Few, One of the proud." Can't wait for this to come out for the US and have more people to go against online!

Agreed but no one in these forums or anywhere is looking at it that way. Instead, they cry like little babies because they can't play their old crap when cool New games will be coming out soon. It's a great time to have a PS3 with the great holiday line up and it's even greater at an Affordable price point for a PS3! More people owning a PS3, more people to go against online, and more developers making more games because of the growing installed base for PS3;)!da1writer

Dude, its for good reason. There is absolutely no reason I can think of why the software emulation -shouldn't- work for that model...furthermore... 2 USB ports? The whole purpose of cancelling the 20gb model (Which to me should be brought back at this price point more or less) is -because- they(Sony) didn't want two SKUs and saw how bad the 20gb model was selling compared to the 60gb. Lets not even forget how they made fun of Microsoft because they had to emulate BC and boasted how they wouldn't need to, but even with EE they still required it somewhat. Microsoft was the first to point out how BC shouldn't be important and got a whole lot of hate messages and blows from PS owners and Xbox owners that still like to journey back and how they sold their old systems to get the new ones (like I did for my ps2 to get the PS3 60gb). Then not two weeks later Microsoft says their sorry and will still continue to release software emulation to play games.

So, is BC important for most people the answer is yes. To claim that PS2 games are crap and old and sell em all hahaha type mentality is really really narrowminded considering games are still being released for the platform and it still has alot of rare titles and why it was king in the previous generation even over PC gaming. I honestly wanted to get the 20gb model cause i didnt' care for Wi fi or the card readers but they were hard to find, but it had everything i needed the EE, the 4 usb ports and Blu ray. People pointing out but 20gb was crap for space...the beauty of the PS3 is personally being able to upgrade with other SATA HDs and loading other OSs. I owned all 3 systems, 360, PS3, and Wii cause I traded alot of my old stuff in part with saving (though recently sold my Wii due to lack of interesting games at the moment). My 3 favorite games of all time are Zelda, Metal Gear, and Halo. So, that leaves me with dilemmas I'm an equal opportunity person here not really leaning more toward any other so I flak all of em for messing up on something equally. Sony's had problems with ports and the like but they do sound like they are trying to play catch up.

Point being...This is probably not a good idea and on top of that its only in europe from what I hear at the moment.

s the 360 only has 2 usb and you must use them for controllers!!!! it also has no wi fi and I dont know anyone who plays xbox games on them. stop whining and stop being fanboys!!!!!!!!!!!NinjaMunkey01

Wi-Fi is still included in the 40GB version.
castlevaniaX

it is a great deal, it's the 60gb version except the hard drive, less 2 usb slots and it doesn't read flash memory cards. BC for me is not a big deal, i have a ps2 and this version is still 100% compatible with ps1 games, on the other side ps2 games can be played in the future by software emulation.

40gb disk is enough, if i want to upgrade the hard drive in the future i will go to the store and i just buy a 160gb disk that costs around 70-80 euros.

All this for 399?

imo it is a great deal.

um why didnt they just keep the 20gb ps3? i mean like come on the 20gb come with basicly everything as the 60gb except it didnt have the media readers and smaller hard drive but this one come with 2 usb ports and 40gb hard drive? wow this is kinda a rip i mean why take away 2 usb ports and plus it not going to play ps2 or ps1 games ok now that suck bad and we all know that so sony bad move shoulda keep the 20gb generalmyke74

20 gb dont include wi-fi

I don't see how the 40g PS3 can be considered anything but a good thing. Sony wants to appeal to a wide range of gamers, and one of the underlying factors for next-gen buyers is the price. It is a reasonable assumption to conjecture that people who buy PS3 do so to play PS3 games, not PS2 ones. It is of course advantageous from Sony's viewpoint to have all its systems outfitted with backwards compatibility; still, it is a good tradeoff for the average consumer when one takes in the price difference between the basic and the premium sets.

what do u think about the ps3 40GB??Deaho

Great. Sony has more people doing research than I do to know if this is what the consumers want so if they released it like this then there is a need for it. I'm personally happy with my 60GB but no one should be complaining now about the price since it is the same price as the 360 give or take $50 but still with more options.

And to all that complain about the BC with all those people still on the PS2. Here is a brilliant idea... Maybe they can[pause for effect] keep their PS2 and still play those games!!!! It is a cutting edge concept I know to own more than one gaming system.

there are many ppl like me that can't have net without wifi. In my case for example, my wireless router and modem are downstairs, my room is upstairs, my pc, psp and notebook all work online by wifi, i don't have other way, unless i have 20m wires all over my house which is a bad idea as you can imagine. My future ps3 will work in the same way.

or in other words, i can't have a ps3 without wifi and certainly there are others in the same position as me.

i think its an excellent way to get to the more average consumer, hell my dad will probably end up buying one if its 400.americahellyeah
