for the cheap, the 399.99 ps34 is coming for you,(heres even more proof)

If you still needed more confirmation about Sony's new PS3 model, which most believe will be a slimmed-down 40GB unit, this might be just what you need. Sony's Blu-raySavings.com lists the new model as a qualifier to receive five free Blu-ray movies once you've purchased the system.

Earlier this week, Sony spun us into a frenzy when an FCC filing was published detailing some features of the CECHG01 model. At this point, we're not too sure what Sony's waiting for as it keeps declining to comment on one of the worst-kept secrets of recent memory. Just go ahead and announce the thing already!

this price and the playstation name will sell its self, note new games like uncharted, then rachet which misteriouly got switched to the 30 of oct.;), unreal t3, and im all good.(even though i all ready have me ps3

There is undeniable proof of a new sku and it has wifi and 2 less usb ports. I will file the rest under speculation and a playstation fan's wet dream. Ithink the chances of it happening are better than it not happening.

As the owner of a 20GB PS3 (which I beefed up to 120 GB), I can say with confidence that you're not missing a lot when it comes to the Wifi and memory card slots. The 40GB PS3 will almost definitely be a revamped version of the 20GB PS3 without the emotion chip and with 20GB more storage. So if you're on the fence about PS3, the 40GB will be a great way to grab a fully functiona PS3, as long as you don't absolutely need Wifi (and I can hardly imagine why you would need it... LAN lines reduce lag.)Timstuff

what does Wifi do? i know it has something to do with online but im not exactly sure

Well, there was a WiFi label on that FCC filling, so I think the 40 GB will actually have WiFi.

I think it won't have memory card slots, or chrome trim. Fewer USB ports, and little to none backwards compatability.

It will have the same amount of BC as the 80gb or the PAL PS3s. Software emulation doesnt cost sony a dime so why would they take it out?

The New model will cost $500. Prove me wrong.septicvirus

Prove us wrong that it wont cost $400. Oh wait , you cant.

Oh, I thought it did cost them money. I knew it costs them a lot to produce the EE chip, and I just thought it costs them less with 80 GB. I didn't know it costs them nothing.

having 100% BC by basically adding a PS2 in the PS3 however does cost alot. Ragashahs

$25 isn't that much

The 40GB PS3 will have the exact same bc as the 80GB one since it's software based. The emulation software on PS3 literally costs Sony nothing to install, so they will not take it out just for the sake of making the 40 gig look more gimped. The same goes for the USB ports. They will not cut the ammount of USB ports, because there's no reason to other than to make the system appear more gimped than the 80GB one. USB ports cost next to nothing to install, and are more about physical space availible than money.

Also, if the 40GB PS3 is real, Sony will almost definitely drop the 80GB PS3's price to $500, with Motorstorm included. it's starting to look like the 40GB PS3 might not be a revamped 20GB at all, but just an 80GB without the free game and 40GB less memory.

the motorstorm bundle is only for a limited time. sony including motorstorm is only to justufy paying $100 more for only 20 gigs more. if the 80 gig drops to $500 motorstorm will not be included.

[QUOTE="Hoffgod"]Still not cheap enough for me.R-Dot-Yung

not really. 360 has lots of AAAe (how many does the ps3 have? 0?) to justify spending the 400 while ps3 has... bluray? bluray doesn't justify the purchase for me, i have no hdtv and even if i did i wouldn't spend 30 on a movie.

So it will cost $100 more for 2 USB ports and $40 gigs more data. That doesn't make sense. :|

where was it ever confirmed the new model will be a 40 gig for 400? all we know is that its a new model with wifi and 2 less usb ports or whatever.

for the same stuff minus bluray, I only have to pay 300 bucks now...how is that being a hyprocritre?

Uh... $400 isn't cheap in my books... that's still mighty expensive for a gaming console. $300 would be much more reasonable. Not to mention, a console without Wifi just doesn't make sense.foxhound_fox

Yeah i know alot of gamers were wating for a 400$ ps3,all they need now are some GOOD Exclusives
Uncharted and ratchet and clank are comming out this year plus warhawk is a good multiplayer. 2008 sony has it on LOCK DOWN
Squall_Griver

ps3 doesnt have 2008 in lockdown you guys were saying the same about 07 and when ps3 launched the only game coming out next year that will sell the ps3 is GT

Never thought I'd say this but I actually want Blu-Ray to win this movie format war.

I'll be getting this new speculated model in about a year for games like Killzone 2 and some others, but I'm also very interested in high definition movies (I'll have a HDTV by that time too). I'd hate to have to pick up the add-on for the 360 just to do that (even though I'll be buying a 360 first).

Anyway that would probably mean a £250 PS3 here, damn nice price.
