UK Retailers are starting taking pre-orders for the £299.99 40GB PS3 models to be released on Oct 10th.
GAME's website states:
This PlayStation 3 model does NOT feature:
* Backwards Compatibility with PS2 Games
* Memory Stick Card Readers
* SACD Playback
* Ethernet Cable
* 4 USB Ports, this model features 2.
In addition, this price point does not include any bundled Blu-Ray movies or games.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
no Ethernet Cable? that can't be right, so you have to use wireless or dail up?
Im getting my 60GB next week.Wont come near this one.
There is BC for ps2 in future updates just like the 80gb had more BC after the 1.92 update. Pay attention to more reputable articles.
gettin a 60gig next week Wednesday 50 extra is nothing really
for a ps3 £299 its a bargin for ps2 owner's and would be buyer,s there will be update 2 play ps2 game's later on. In that price u get blu-ray so you cant complain. 360 you have to get add on to play movies. if u want' and have the money get 60 gig still a steal its the time to jump in for ps2 owners and casual gamers. Sony drop price and thats a plus for us so stop complaining. The only ones that are complianing are 360 owners cause they trying to be negative. And they know what's coming a shift in sale's meaning more install base for ps3. All what 360 owners got to look forward to is rrod and disc read errors and scratch disc, who wants that when they can get a ps3 with no issues.Come 2008 there going to be alot of ps3 owners. game on!!!!
