Another point to note. Those card readers are basically useless if you are using the higher capacity cards (4Gb and above) cuz it doesn't support the new HC format. Try putting one in, nothing happens. You'll need a HC compatibale USB card reader.

I own a 60Gb and 40Gb unit. So, not trying to thrash the 60Gb unit. It's really not worth getting the 80Gb as mentioned by fellow members here.

Bros, sorry OT. I just wanna ask. SACD is basically an Audio CD, rite? So, this 40GB can't play Audio CDs?

sigh people these days dont appreciate value of money di. 500 bucks is nothin... if u are a wise consumer right..
the amount u get in difference can upgrade yr HDD to 120gb plus getting external ports for additional usb ports or make up for the lack of memory card readers..

IF u didnt know the pricing here is basically similar to the us citizens.. explain why the amount of ps3 40gb versions are more hangat!??! even here in msia also its pretty hot. are u saying we are all dumb consumers?!!  whistling.gif

and i own a 60gb version. if i didnt buy tat i would hv gone for the 40gb one di..

not to say u all are dumb, its just that i do not want the hustle to buy this and that for add on ...

notworthy.gif you all got so much time going around upgrading your console !

Why would you consider the 60GB superior to the 40GB? Excuse me?
1. 40GB plays PS3 games just as well
2. 40GB plays BD-movies just as well
3. 40GB plays DVD-movies just as well
4. 40GB connects to PSN just as well (if not better, due to improved WiFi)
5. 40GB performs as a media center just as well
6. 40GB operates off a 65nm Cell / 90nm RSX - this reduces power usage just a bit and a little less heat (more environmentally friendly?)
7. 60GB has 20GB more HDD (you're paying extra RM500, and that easily covers a HDD upgrade)
8. 60GB has 4 USB ports (same as HDD, for the extra RM500, a simple RM20 USB hub is more than enough to cover this inadequacy)
10. 60GB can play SACD (Super Audio CD). Errrm, when was the last time you actually played (or even own) an SACD? It's not popular in Singapore (or maybe Singapore), so this white elephant isn't exactly crucial or critical.

Stop being so quick to jump on the bandwagon about how the 60GB is superior to the 40GB and it being the best PS3 version. It shows that you haven't really put in much thought about it. While it might be a better version for US or Japan (given that they would be able to play their NTSC/US or NTSC/J games respectively), in the context of Singapore (or maybe Malaysia), the 40GB is a much better choice.

I don't really mind for those things like USB port,or something.
But the lack of PS2's games backward compatibility is a really big thing for me.
Although i own a ps2,but w/o the backward compatibility,
u'll need to reinstall ur PS2 console whenever u wanna play ur PS2's games.
Anyway,i'm still trying to searching for a 60GB PS3,
at least,the PS2's games backward compatibility is really important to me.

and i'm guessing your library of ps2 titles are original hmm.gif
Right now, the 40gb is the best bang for buck.

@stevenchan - i believe the 60Gb r onli US or Jpn consoles....n it was kinda difficult for me to locate one as well...n it was after the announcement of 80Gb (quite some time ago)....u need to get the local supplier to bring in 1..cos i am quite sure they wont have any old stock left....

80 GB only using software emulation I think. That means it will have compatibility problems with certain games.

Also you can only play ORIGINAL PS2 games.

Anyway playing PS2 games using PS3 will not result in good graphics.

seriously, the ps2 backward compatibility is really not relevant to most of us in MY/SG because of piracy. how many of you have a original copy of region 3 (asian) version of a ps2 game?

in all my life of playing ps2, i only own 3 original copy of ps2 game and 1 are region 1 (US) and 2 are region 2 (Japan). so even if i get a 60gb its not going to play in my ps3. so the RM500 is more like a waste.
