I grabbed a 20 gig PS3 when it came out and had felt bad at the time because it was missing the USB ports and the wireless. Now I see the new versions that are missing so much more! I'm not sure that cutting the PS2 compatibility is a good move, as that platform was and still is very much alive, and honestly, IMHO after a year on the market I can only count a handful of games for the PS3 that are even close to justifying my purchase. If it wasn't for the PS2 compatibility I likely ould have sold it long ago. Okay, I admit it... putting Linux on it was fun. Maybe I could put it back on and try to run VFP under Linux on the PS3 :) Or would that break some sort of MS licensing agreement? Tee Hee

Not so sure about that either, as a PSP owner. With no interest in watching pr0n on it I should add! For my money UMD failed because it's slow, it's yet another proprietary Sony format, you can't buy a UMD burner, and the films that did get released were the same price as the DVD equivalent except with lower picture quality and none of the extras. They're buggers for doing this. Look at the PS3 - the European version is way more expensive than in the US, plus they removed the hardware-based PS2 compatibility!
