hi there, saw in the window of game and gamestation of the ps3 40gb model that costs £299, just wanting to know whats the difference between the 40gb model n the 60gb model apart from the hard drive size?

coz if thats the only difference between the 2 then i might aswel get the 40gb model n rip out the hard drive n replace it with a 500gb sata drive which is what i thought about doing anyway with the 60gb model

thanks

No wifi, no multi memory card readers, and worst of all no backwards compatibility.

No card reader... Does anybody find use for the card reader? Is it only for displaying pics and movies and mp3s off of a card?

Also the current 60 bundle has a second controller and two games, that already cover the price difference by far if bought separately.

Memory card reader, for some NOT knowledgeable PS3 and PSP gamers its usefull to pass their Downloaded ISOs to their memories and pass stuff from one to the other, I use it for the Exploit and thats it, but its better to have it thannot to have it, sides I created a 32MB memory stick to backup all my save games instead of the USB memory... now the Backwards Compatability YES IT is the worst thing Sony can DO, I cant afford a new PS3 game yet, but I will rather play all my 40 PS2 games on the PS3../.

PSP (+[__]%): 2.80 < 1.50 > 3.40OE-A > 3.71M33-4 > 3.80m33-5 > 3.90m33-3 > 4.01m33-2 + 8gb MSPD
PS3 HD 60GB: 1.33 > 1.90 > 2.01 > 2.17 - NO OS
Nintendo DS [+[__]%]: EZ Flash 5 Plus + 1GB MicroSD + EZFlash 3in1
Nintendo Wii: 3.2U + 1GB SD Card + WiiKey 1.9s

yh and also it doesnt have the gloss finish to it like the 60gb but jus a matte finish, n the chrome disc tray face is silver not shiny as fook, im gettin a 60gb for christmas but when they go out of stock sony are stopping makin the 60gb, so if they do go out of stock before christmas im happy with a 40b because its still got wifi, i mean the card readers are a bit pointless n i bet loads of dust and finger marks get on the 60gb because its like my hdtv is sort of the same n it gets dusty realy quick.

so can any1 tell me any faults with the 40gb???
