"From Nick Sharples, Sony's Director of Corporate Communications in Europe:
'The 60GB Starter pack will remain on sale until stocks run out (a number of months, depending on territory.) Thereafter, the 40GB model will be the only SKU in the SCEE region'"
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.
It'll look a lot better to the average consumer to only se a 300 pound PS3 instead of a more expensive one as well. This puts the PS3 in par with the elite.
Advantages of PS3 over 360:
Wifi, Bluray, Linux install, rip your own videos, and don't forget PS3's HUMOUNGOUS amount of exclusive games already here, and coming soon. (GT5, KZ2, GoW3, GTA7, etc.)
SONY : i counter ur halo 3 with my 40 gb ps3
Will come out over here, the 60gb days are numbered.
now im sure there are people who still did this. But i wonder what the percentage of people kept playing ps1 games on their ps2 year by year. I bet not many. In fact i bet sony could have sold a ps2 without ps1 compatibility and nothing would have changed. So this will be the same way. And who has ps2 games and doesnt have a ps2? thats pretty weird.
Anyways, if it came down to it and people want BC, Sony can fix that. So i would say that this statement is there to generate a response and Sony will adjust accordingly.
They're bluffing.
