So far only announced for Europe/UK the new PS3 will be priced at €399 and £299, and will include one SIXAXIS wireless controller, Wi-Fi, HDMI, two USB 2.0 ports rather than four and no longer includes the multi memory card port.

One more little thing the new PS3 is no longer backwards compatible with PS2 games. No software backwards compatibility or hardware backwards compatibility. With Sony saying this is “reflecting both the reduced emphasis placed on this feature amongst later purchasers of PS3, as well as the availability of a more extensive line-up of PS3 specific titles”.

Sony already ripped out hardware backwards compatability with the 80gb, there is no justification whatsoever for removing software backwards compatibilty for the 100 million+ selling PS2. Stupid moves like this are why the Wii continues to piss on the PS3′s rotting corpse. Hopefully this Playstation Tard Pack (the PTP) never makes it’s way to North America.
