80GB PS3 Price Drop to £244

The way Sonys doing it is not all versions of the PS3 will have all of the features, the 60GB model has everything, the 80GB model has everything. The 40GB model has everything BUT the PS2 backwards compatibility. When i say everything i mean everything besides the EE.

Fairly certain that they also reduced the number of USB ports.

This looks like a great deal!

No, they TOTALLY took out PS2 compatibility.

Dunno why, just another smart Sony move.

The additional hardware to play psx/ps2 games made the system more expensive.

That's why the ps3 is getting a price drop. They are removing the additional hardware to decode ps2/psx games.
