Agree? 40gb PS3 should be able to do all stuff the 80gb can.

their 80gb sales

and can you buy the pars so the 40gb can play ps2 games

i think it should i know they are trying to sell the 80gb, but the 40gb not being able to do all the stuff the 80gb can, like reverse compatibility and stuff, is hurting their salesgrant4500neo

What? Are you just one of those Sony bashers or something? From all the reports the 40GB PS3 is selling great. And so is the 80GB. People have a choice right now. For people too cheap to pay the full price you can buy a 40GB model. You need to play PS2 games? Play them on your PS2. That still works you know.

People wanted a cheaper PS3 and they got one.

People need to be thankful that they can get such an incredible system for $399. It's not realistic to expect that Sony would include every single feature with the entry model. Be happy all they stripped is BC, memory card slots (you can buy a memory card adaptor) and two USB ports. Minor things, honestly. If people have huge PS2 libraries they want to play then most often they will already have a PS2, so no harm there.

If you want a full featured model with all of the bells and whistles they also give you that option for only $100 more, not to mention 40gb more HDD space and Motorstorm.

People whined and complained how much it costs, yet Sony puts out a super cheap model (for what you're getting) yet people still complain. Sony can't seem to win with some people.:?

Actually the ps3 is the price of the 360 when you factor in the LIVE account. Why? Cause the 360 is only fun if you've got the LIVE. Without LIVE, you cannot experience the 360 next-gen games to it fullest.

Okay, I've seen my first triple and now quadruple post on this site... both within the last 2 minutes! WTF??

And, to actually add something to the discussion, NO.

If the 40gig PS3 had all the features of the 80gig, it would either a) be more expensive, or b) increase Sony's losses per console sold even more, which is just not good.

The current price of the 40gig is right in that sweet spot, and I looked at the sales on Amazon today: the 80gig is selling better. This is the strategy they should have probably started with from the get go, instead of the 20gig and 60gig. Better late than never, IMO.

answering the question to the topic, NO the 40GB shouldnt be able to do everything a 80GB does, why?
why, first is because ur paying less money, less money equals less functions...

the 40gig model had to get rid of functions like flash card readers and ps2 games compatibility, and even reduce
the number of USB 2.0 ports from 4 to 2.

its simple math really, if u suffer from financial issues but u still want a ps3, ur going to have to sacrifice something in order to make ends meet...

What are you talking about...

People are buying 40GB more than 80GB models.

Most of people don't even really care about card-readers and they just buy ps3 to play games and watch movies.

Sony is doing just fine with 40GB models.

Buy an 80 if you want an 80 or buy a 40 if you want a 40.

Or in simpler terms that the TC might understand;

If you want an apple buy an apple, if you want a banana buy a banana

DISAGREE. I bought the 20GB last December. I dont have built in Wireless or Memory card readers or a BIGGER Hardrive and PaID $500 DOllars. Dont you think I should be complaining? Thats just buisness. Iam not bitter at all. So if you can afford the better model which to me is Both choices. Then Kudos to you. This is still in my opinon the best system out for the money and will only get better with time.

Eh, no. You get what you pay for. At least, that works for this situation.

if the 40gig did all the stuff the 80 could then im sure it would not cost 400 dollars now would it???

man sony tries to satisfy and people ar still b!#$%^&g about it

no not really because it wouldnt make any sense. if you dont care that much for ps2 games than get the 40gb hands down.

by the way in a couple of months sony is going to do a whole lot better than microsoft. just watch and see.

you pay less money you get less featuresMiles0T0Prower

This is the only post on here that made sense.

Is 50 bucks a year honestly that big a deal?If you cant afford 50 bucks a year you should have probably never bought the console in the first place. 50 bucks a year is just so little, who cares

Well, you can still have up to seven wireless controllers. You can only charge two at a time.

Or get a USB hub and charge 8 controllers. Plug a hub into that hub and charge 16 controllers! Keep plugging hubs into hubs and charge thousands of controllers!

B/C is the only significant thing the 40 is missing, the rest of the stuff can be compensated for.
