Munak, I posted this on Post #489  biggrin.gif

According to Kaz Hirai, the 40gb PS3 will be using the 65nm process for the Cell chip but the RSX graphics chip will still be using the 90nm process. However, the shrinkage of the CPU is considered enough to cut the power consumption of the PS3.

And the 20gb/60gb PS3 might continue production depending on how the consumer reacts. 

Here is the link: Ign.com

For those who can read Japanese, here is the Kaz Hirai interview: watch.impress.co.jp
Lol, camping here won't increase my post count. Just like to help people out and inform people bout the PS3 if I could  smile.gif  And I was the one who posted what Kaz Hirai said.  laugh.gif

Maybe it's because I experienced a few times where no one care bout what I asked. So yea, if someone ask something or state something and I could add to it, why not? It's no fun being clueless  smile.gif

At the top of your PS3 box, check the bottom right corner. There is a sticker there. Is yours CECHE12(Hong Kong) or CECHE06(Singapore). And 'HK5' is printed on my sticker as well because it's Hong Kong version. Hope that helps  thumbup.gif

Is the PS2 backward compatibility important to you?

You prefer 4 usb slot or 2 usb slot, is it important?

Is the built-in card reader on the 60/80gb PS3 important to you?

Other than that, all the PS3s are the same generally.

One more thing, can you see the chrome thingy on the PS3? The silver finish. The 60/80gb PS3 has the glossy finish(shiny), while the 40gb has the matte finish(not shiny enough).

Looking for some general info on the PS3 now... can anyone give a quick run through?

Based on the questions from the previous poster:
(i) PS2 backward compat is a +
(ii) more USB slots is a + (unless USB hubs work on the PS3)
(iii) built-in card reader also a +

I can live without the 3 above but would rather have them.

Questions:

(i) What are the prices I will be looking at?
(ii) What models am I looking at (I saw HKG, JPN, etc.)?
(iii) I read in some other thread that the HKG version has no "blood" effects?
(iv) any recommendations where to go to buy? (djinn has good reputation here so I'll probably go there)

The 60gb PS3's backward compatibility works the best because it has the Emotion Engine(EE) intact. The 80gb PS3 has limited backward compatibility because it does not have the EE and it runs through software emulation.

USB hubs works fine.

Normal card reader works fine as well

Asian version games are said to be toned down. Whether all of them are toned down, I am not sure. Since PS3 games are region free. You could get the US version with complete violent effects.

How "limited" is the 80GB version? I don't have many PS2 games, maybe 15-20... and 10 of them are the Winning Eleven series. Any list available that shows compatibility for the 80GB version?

I also read that the HDD in the PS3 is upgradeable. Is it as easy as upgrading the HDD in a PC? Does it void the PS3 warranty? etc.etc.

Just looking for all the general information I should know before getting 1.

Try checking the PlayStation website, click here. This checker is for the US version PS3. Can't find the one for the Asia version PS3.

And upgrading the HDD does not void your warranty. The manual that comes with the PS3 even has step by step on how to change your HDD. But just make sure you keep the original HDD with you.

playstation.com_2
futureshopforums.com

If you read through the thread, some people even called Sony to confirm it.

the status on backwards compatibility on 60GB/80GB sets are not up to date. Sony PR says team doing BC is being scaled down to reduce cost tongue.gif

for ori NTSC/J JPN titles, can try

http://www.jp.playstation.com/ps3/status/index.cgi
^note the whole thing is in JPN though

for ori NTSC/J Asian titles, no site is available.

do remember that the ps2 games are region locked. ie US version of ps2 game wont work in SG/HK set.

and if usb hub/external card reader works fine, screw 80gb...

40gb is ftw (and get a 120gb hdd)
