MY PS3 CRAPPED OUT!!!!!!!!

Geez! Talk about changes! Good chart, though.

All I know is that the price point is still too high, imo. I'm waiting to see where they are as far as a software library when they eventually drop it down to $199.99. Maybe God of War 3 will be out by then.

Backwards compatibility on the system is awesome. There is so much room for virtual memory cards, and when I'm going to go play a game elsewhere, I can easily copy saves to and from my PS3 to the original PS2 / PS1 memory cards.

You're totally right. And yeah it's quite sad to see how they're taking away more and more features from the PS3. What's next? No more Blu-ray drive, lol?

But really, the november 2006 model (which was only released for NTSC regions ) had the actual Emotion Engine chip inside. The 2007 models use software emulation for the backwards compatibility (not great, but still something) and the current models aren't backwards compatible at all!!!

This is quite annoying, I knew about the card slots but not of the backward compatibility being gone.

Yeah, I went from a Media center, with ALL the "Bells and Whistles" to a stripped down video game console.

I went and bought a 4 gig SD card. And now I have to download it through my computer to my jump drive "THAT I HAD TO GO BUY" , and then download to my PS3

You shouldn't have taken the system back to the store, you should have gone through Sony.

Yeah, I know.  I just didn't want to get a refurbished PS3 that will probably only last a few years.

A few years would already be better than only a few weeks.

But all jokes aside, I feel your pain. There really isn't an "ultimate" solution to a thing like this.
