No way it wont come with a port or usb of some kind. You heard it here first.

CVG has learnt from several sources that PS3 is about to step up to the console war in a big way.
Speaking off the record (which means we can't name names), we've been told by sources in both the publishing and retail sectors that PS3 is on the verge of receiving a massive price cut - to £299.
But this won't be for the 60GB system that's currently on the shelves. It'll be a stripped down version, which Sky News reports will ship without backwards compatibility or USB ports. How you'll sync your controllers without them, we don't know.
Sony has been tipped to make an announcement regarding the stripped-down PS3 this week - right on time to combat Microsoft's massive Halo 3 launch.
We'll let you know if SCEE has anything to say.

That news can't be right. The PS3 needs USB ports. Maybe this one will only have one port. That would make more sense. My best guess though, is that sony will just use the 20gb model as the base (no wi-fi, no memory card slots, no chrome) and just use the newer, EE-less motherboard.
i would never buy ps3 w/o backward compatiblity...
pretty much all i play are ps1/ps2 games untill killzone, turismo, and other 08 games come out.
god i though this was gonna be a good deal until i saw the missing emotion engine and usb ports and let me guess no wifi? you suck sony you absolute cheapscates
impossible.
no backwards compatibility is impossible because of emulation, which is no where near as inefficient as people like to think. all my games play great.
no USB is absurd, no syncing, no media, no peripherals.
the 20GB model was scrapped for a reason.
the money saved from 20GB increases is minimal.
Most important is that most sellers offer bundles of a PS3 60GB with second controller, HDMI cable and two games for £399 meaning you get a console for around £275 with bundle items you actually want/need.
wow, that the brightest thing they ever did since launch. I don't care about backward. My ps2 do the job way better. Bring us this bundle in America!
yarbles! big fuzzy yarbles!
How much is this on USD $$ ??
£300 would equate to $604 US at the current exchange rate of now.
