Countryboy, the Basic system is fully upgradeable except for HDMI. The memory stick situation can be handle via the USB ports, just like you use with the PSP.

I am just delivering the information that I was given. I have not seen nor read nor been told that the $500 system is upgradable.

As for the memory stick problem on the $500 system, I have not read, seen, nor been told that you can upload files from your PS2 memory card onto the system.

If I am wrong or you know differently, then please post the website because that is what I have been telling everybody.

This confirms comments made by Sony's Phil Harrison in a recent interview with GI.biz, where he stated: "You can upgrade to whatever size of drive you like. You can put in any drive that you like - it is a computer, after all."

The spokesperson went on to reveal that Sony plans to release a Wi-Fi adaptor for the 20GB PlayStation 3. Consumers will also have the option to purchase a separate adaptor that will allow the use of memory sticks, SD cards and compact flash cards with the machine.

Is it wise to believe everything that Sony says after all the promises that they failed to keep? I would wait and see what happens because the memory stick option on the $500.00 SKU sounds too good to be true.

PS3 fans get ready to pay more for games as well. Sony hints new games may exceed $60.

http://1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3151823

People were understandably upset when companies decided next-generation meant charging everyone $10 more for their games -- especially when the price was applied to last-generation ports like GUN and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. Nonetheless, most have sucked it up at this point, but no one anticipated Sony would actually up the ante when PlayStation 3 dropped in November.

Yet SCEA president Kaz Hirai isn't promising a $59.99 price tag for PS3 games this fall. In an interview with PSM, the Sony leader explained. So, what I can say now is, I think it would be a bit of a stretch to think that we could suddenly turn around and say "PS3 games now $99.99" I don't think the consumers expect the software pricing to suddenly be double," he told the magazine. "So, if it becomes a bit higher than fifty-nine bucks don't ding me, but, again, as I said, I don't expect it to be a hundred bucks."

In other words, consumers should expect PS3 games to cost somewhere between $59.99 and $99.99. He doesn't expect them to be a hundred dollars, but it's only a "stretch" to expect it. Have we moved back to the cartridge ages here? Wasn't disc-based media supposed to make everything cheaper? I don't want to remember how much my parent's paid for several of Square's older SNES releases during Christmas.

That's crazy to be spending $69-$79 again for games like the old days, but isn't it crazy that gas is at $3.15 a gallon and up to $3.50 in parts of the United States when we used to pay $ .85 - $1.00 a gallon when I first started driving 13 years ago.

Our gas rates are still much lower than most of the rest of the world. In England gas is over $6 a gallon.

Huge leaked PS3 Q/A from E3.

http://www.virtualdreams.fr/VDForum/viewtopic.php?t=2800

Perfect marketing speak, and they really want you to know the PS3 is a computer system .

Q30. How much noise reduction level have you achieved ?
A30. Approximately 29dB (A) (equivalent to slim-line PS2).
