There are several versions of the consoles available around the world with 60GB or 80GB hard disk drives and variable compatibility with PlayStation 1/2 games as well as 40GB version that cannot play old games at all. The official prices of Sony PlayStation 3 40GB and 80GB in the USA are $399 and $499, respectively, European customers have to pay €399 ($590) and €499 ($738) for 40GB and 60GB models, respectively, whereas Japanese gamers can obtain PlayStation 3 40GB for ¥39 980 ($367 or €248).
We can still play ps1 games with the 40Gb ps3 and with future models too. About ps2 compatibility just let ps3 games sell a bit more and them we will see ps2 games working over this new ps3 models. At least the older ps3 models will still have updates to the ps1/2 compatibility at least with SCEE & SCEA.
