I'm confused about why the normal one is the 80gig model yet the limited edition game uses the 40gig model. And yet the limited edition game costs considerable amount more, yes its gunmetal and yes it essentially comes with the LE version of MGS4 but there is no way that makes a $100 between an 80gig model and a 40gig model. The difference between the regular and LE edition of MGS4 is rather substantial I paid $90.39 CAD for my copy; but still not near enough for the price difference.

Its only backwards compatible via software emulation it has had the B/C hardware removed to cut costs and as far as i'm aware all game ps2 updates have been stopped since the release from sony stating that you can purchase PS2 titles again via the PSN and fully compatible with the PS3.
Sony Hints At Downloadable PS2 Games On PS3 Originally posted by hyperlink:
New York (dbTechno) - Sony has hinted that even though the new models of the PS3 do not do backwards compatibility, PS3 owners may soon be able to download full original PS2 games over the PlayStation Network, fully playable on the PS3.
The PS3 launch models are starting to go away, and with that, PS2 backwards compatibility is going out the window, or so we thought.
anyways the mgs4 bundle is a waste of cash just purchase a 2nd hand 60gig with the 100% fully backwards compatible hardware in and buy the game. bundles are as bad as having to purchase extra content like maps and weapons, ITS A RIP OFF!
@ SSSJDanny
the hard drives for sony cost less than $1 between models and they should give ppl a decent amount of hard drive space seems that many games now have a mandatory 5gig+ install but they use larger hard dirive space to wow the populous to make them think its a bargain when infact the larger hard drive models are just a rip off when you can simply purchase your own drive and install it at a quarter of the cost, but as all things sony the price is jacked up "because if it costs more it must be better and you are not cool if you can't afford a ps3 now, you must live in a dumpster" (lmfao install on a console).

how kind of sony to ignore BWC but for the new old games they resale you......
when I get a PS3 I will be sure it has a mod chip in it....
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

The soundtrack and double layer bluray add-on is part of the LE edition of the game, its not something you can only get with the console bundle. The color is the ONLY special thing about this bundle otherwise it is simply a 40gig system that comes with an LE version of the game. And its not 100 dollars difference its 200 dollars because the 80 gig us normally $500 and the 40 gig is normally $400.

OK I have had it with your ignorant bs.
1.) The software emulation on the 80 gig model has a compatibility rate of 70-80% and IS still being improved with software updates. Also that 20-30% of games that don't work are likely 3rd party games that we've likely never heard of. So DONT go and make it sound like the software emulation barely works because that is complete BS.
2.) And to show how ignorant you re you assume that the 60 gig model is 100% compatible just because it has the EE chip in it; WRONG it is NOT 100% and it is only slightly better than the 80 gig's software emulation.
3.) No ones asking you to buy this or downloadable content if you don't want extras please shut up and don't buy them. What people want to spend their money on is none of your business. If I can spend $10 to extend the amount of time I play a game by a few weeks it is well worth it to me rather than going out and buying an entirely new game.
4.) The HDD install is "mandatory" because it works to help the game work more smoothly, unless you want 3 minute load times every time something changes I suggest you sit down and shut up. And the only game that comes close to having a 5 gig install is DMC4 and its something like around 4.8 gigs. More of your BS information manipulating to make it sound like all games have an install of over 5 gigs. Oh and did I mention you can just delete that data whenever you stop playing the game and it wont effect your game progress so if you want to play it later you can just pop the disk back in, reinstall the data and continue playing.
5.) You don't quote crap you make up yourself.
Will a mod or a staff member or anyone please put an end to all his information twisting and slander that has absolutely no grounds. Besides that this was suppose to be about information on a console bundle not a rant about every facet of the console itself. He violates the 0 tolerance for fanboy flame starting rule, constantly I might add. Also most of his posts count as thread-jacking as every time he posts something he gets the whole news discussion completely off topic. And these have all been done many many times over months, so I think there is reasonable grounds for action to be taken on the basis of the above and the length of time hes been doing it and the fact that he has been warned many times before.
EDIT: Changed the compatibility rate for the 80gig model to the proper statistics.

No no and no software emulation on the 80GB model is 70-80%
the 60GB model had 90% emulation.
the 40GBmodel plays PSX games but not PS2 games.
Now installing data is almost mandatory on any game, thus why you need to leave 4GB of space free on the 360 for cache work, so I could care elss is a game needs to be installed or not unless I need to waste 20 miinetes isntalling it.

My bad there but it is still both more and less than what nobrainer tried to regurgitate. And where is the third no from? I didn't touch the 40 gig model and its bwc, and I'm aware that it plays ps1 games but not ps2; but it didn't play a part in my argument. I'll change my previous statments to reflect the actual %'s.
