40Gig has no B/C. They could add it later with a firmware update.

All 3 consoles have a chance of becoming the top console. PS3 proce-drop, wii's gimmick for casuals, 360's great games.

But we know it'll be a good Xmas for the DSL again probibly

After it's gone down in price again and MGS4 and FFXIII have been released, it'll be waaaay ahead of Wii and Xbox 360 in Japan at least.

A lot of people including myself are buying it for ff13 alone, but there's a lot of good games coming out for it, and multiplats seem to hold people over.

I've heard a lot of people say that, but I've seen no official announcement of that, I might just be missing something, Can you give me a link?

However, today Sony Computer Entertainment America ended all the pesky 'rumours and speculation' by officially announcing that the new 40GB PlayStation 3--which is no longer backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 titles--will indeed be released in North America on November 2.

Thank you very much. I somehow missed all of that, but I'm glad it's official.

Stupid question, it's easy to assume the answer, but by taking a literal interpretation, does that mean it could still support ps1 titles? since it doesn't say it won't? :P

I wasn't exactly referring to the total amount of hardware sold altogether, more along the lines of during that period of time i made a reference to.

Technically I believe they said its possible through software, however they have already stated they would not waste the time or money involved to do it.

So independent developers could probably fill in the emptiness of b/c probably? Or that might have to be on another OS installed don the system. Plus enough people whined about no rumble (which was justified) and sony is now releasing it, it is always a possibility that they might release an update themselves to rectify angry customers.

Well I have a 60Gig PS3, and when I play PS2 titles, the system almost has to restart, to start playing them. With PS1 games, the system just starts to play them, so I think the PS1 system is built right in to the main PS3 processing area, while the PS2 games need a seperate chip to authenticate the games.

No one can predict the future of the 3 consoles, it is just a wait and see game.
