    It sounds decent enough. Keeping support for older PS2 games would be a plus. It can't be much for a console like the PS3 to be able to support those games. I have a great collection of old PS2 games that are unfortunately, untouched.

    By what he was saying its as if the GPU was removed, when in actually fact the GPU is the same and has remained unchanged at the 65nm cell size. Only the main Cell Processor was refabricated at 45nm.

    Its basically the same as the 80GB model with a bigger HDD, same amount of ports, and extras. Its just smaller, and light and more power efficient. As for the linux thing, how much PS3 users bothered install another OS???

    BTW linux took forever to boot the PS3 up, and thus was a disadvantage anyway, goodbye pirates.

    As for PS2 support, dont worry sony patent the emulation software, so either they going to release it soon or working on it to work properly. I own a 60Gb model and i barely use it to play PS2 games, i just use the ps2 and a have a nice library too.

    Eish. You normally make your newgen console better, not worse.
    What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.

    All in all it is the same machine in a new case, with only the Other OS functionality removed. If you guys read the other things, it's not a removal of features, compared to the current gen of PS3's, but more like a modification of it's current features.
