You sign up for a Sony Style card you receive $100 toward a purchase over $300. www.sonystyle.com

Differences:

80 GB / 40 GB
4 USB slot / 2 USB Slots
Memory Slots / No memory slots
More vents / Less vents
Limited BC (PS2) / No BC (PS2)

Question on the BC for the PS3's.

I have the 60 GB, which is fully backwards compatible due to it hardware emulation?

The new 80GB use software emulation, and that's somehow made BC more limited?

Apparently. It seems the 80 gig has a compatability rate of 80% of the PS2 games, albeit growing.

Is that compatability growing due to firmware updates?

Just curious in case my 60 GB ever goes belly up.

not sure...to be honest. i read here that the list was growing.

I say this so much, but the 60 gig is the best of the 3. I don't mind that i overspent for it in the summer. I don't have to worry about what games will and won't work on my PS3.
