Euro 80GB PS3 priced and dated

[Meanies]

My mate will be gutted, he jut bought a 40gb one and really wanted backwards compatibility.

Some of the 40GB ones have backward compatibility. On the browser bit of the home page theres a page and it has numbers which refer to that on your console. Theres like 3 or 4 numbers that have backwards compatibility and mine did

I spent £320 on mine like 2 months ago with GTA and its only a 40gb, should've waited and got 80gb for near enough the same price

thats a lie, they removed the emotion chip from them which ment the BC was no longer there unlike the 60GB which still has the emotion chip

[Southe,]

Decided just to find myself a 60Gb . 80Gb that is getting released is just the 40Gb with larger HD. Taken out the software emulation the US one had. -.-' o well dont need the extra 20Gb anyway.

Meh, I have a 40GB one and that does me just fine. I've got my PS2 under it so not bothered about the backwards compatibility. I didn't know you can upgrade the memory? I didn't even know you can open it up

This is worse than the XBOX with the different versions.

I read it on the PS3 page so must be true, and just found this on the website;

40GB PLAYSTATION 3 System
This model of the PLAYSTATION 3 system is designed to play PLAYSTATION®3 format software and has limited backward compatibility. This system is not compatible with, and will not play, PlayStation 2 format software. Some PlayStation format software may play on this system.

I can't find it on the console browser now.

Umm.. that was one of the first things i saw on the unit..

I have a pal 60gb which is software emulated!?!

@above, I think they mean Playstation 1 games

Should have looked after it more I had my one at launch and it still works same as my launch day PlayStation and that still works so backwards compatibility doesn't bother me anyway I would advise getting a 60GB version due to it have hardware emulation if ya really want it as you can just upgrade the hard drive any day with any old laptop hard drive.
