What's the diff between 40GB & 80GB PS3? in therms of feature.

A kinda stupid question... what is the purpose to use the harddrive?

go wikipedia and check the differentiation.

40GB - not compatible with PS2 game, cannot play SACD, less USB ports, no multicard slot, smaller HDD size

80GB - all of the 40GB features + all the above

and different pricing

still can find the old version??

SACD good ar?

I'm a little regretting my 40 GB purchase due to the fact that I can't play ps2 games. I haven't got a chance to play the excellent MGS3 and GOW series.

slick, unless u understand jap, if not, u can only play mgs in jap for asian unit

megatron... i tot u holding off hte purchase?

but even if I can understand japanese, the ps3 40GB version still cant play PS2 games right

40GB PS3 cannot play PS2 games. Only 80GB can play. Another thing is that you cannot play pirated PS2 games in 80GB.

You forgot to mentioned that 40GB is using the 65nm CELL BE whereas the 80GB is using the 90nm CELL BE which runs hotter and consume more wattage.

slick, yea
thrust, has this cell thing been confirmed?

Ya, confirmed by Kaz Hirai himself.

thanks thrust

PS3 60GB old version can play PS1 and PS2 orignal works
batter buy 60gb model PS3

and you can play pirated ps2 games on 40GB

yeah that one uses the newer process...

not that it matters to me anyway... doubt there's any performance increase from my 1st gen 60GB version...

Performance wise it should still be the same but the 65nm CELL BE is consumes less wattage and it runs cooler. Ideal for folding freak like me though I have to say even when it folds, it's still hot

What he means is 40GB can't play any PS2 Games at all, original or pirated.

But the 60/80GB at least can play original PS2 games but no pirated games.

only 40GB has 65nm?

but i like the chrome trims on the 80GB

yeah ok.. blu-ray freaks like me don't really notice it cos it usually runs the length of 1-2movies.. besides next to the heater "aka projector" , don't really notice the minor PS3 heat..

40GB also got the chrome trim..

Yo...
I planning to get one ady...beh tahan so long

Just wondering if the console can play BRD movies later on ?

Any hints where to get the best deals ?

Most likely to land a 80GB version...

Another question:
Would there be in future that you cannot play a game in PS3 40GB but you can play it in 80GB?

Secondly what is the purpose of the Harddisk? I thought bluray is good enough..

if im not mistaken.. the 40GB dont have the WiFI.

eh WiFi gooooot.... my 40GB gets to go online just fine wirelessly. Purpose of the hard disk is to store downloaded content mah.... All the photos u want to view in slide show can be stored inside the hard disk. Downloaded game demos, game installations, music, movies. I am already running out of space on mine.And there wont be any future where 40GB PS3 can't play 80GB PS3 games. The processor specs are the same.

If you even care about SACD, you would be playing it on a proper dedicated SACD player

Thanks Slickz!
