40GB PS3 will NOT play PS1 or PS2 games
Sony Computer Entertainment America Announces New 40GB Playstaton 3:
The new 40GB PS3 will no longer play PlayStation®2 titles, reflecting the availability of a more extensive line-up of PS3 specific titles. Consumers looking for backwards compatibility can take advantage of the limited PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility of the 80GB PS3.

40G? I thought it was 20G and 60G originally, then 60 and 80? And the 40G is just now coming out...
But yeah, this topic has been covered in other threads.

In my head, I had my money in my hand, extended to hand to the cashier, and then I read this news and promptly put the money back in my pocket, and am now using that money towards some nifty 360 and Wii games.
When's the last time Sony has gotten something right?

80 gig PS3 $500 here I come! Who would pay $400 for the 40 gig version where they could get the 80 gig for $500?
I don't see the big deal. $80 gets you a used Slim PS2 that you stick on stop of the PS3. 100% compatibility. And switching inputs is not that hard. And for someone who has a PS3, there's a slim chance they have too many composite cables already hooked up.
Awesome news. Plan to pick up November 2nd and then if it comes down on Black Friday either pricematch or if they refuse, buy the cheaper one and then just return the other one later (and tell them that I'm going to).
