This version does not run PS2 games AT ALL.
Get the 60gig version as it plays a good percentage of PS2 games, is not much more and comes with a game
 Amazing Offer! October 17, 2007

I own the 60GB PS3 and I have to say this new 40GB is amazing value for money. Think about exactly what you're getting with this console, a blu-ray player, excellent quality hardware (the best out there) and the power of the PS3 to take next generation gaming to another level. For 299 you cannot miss out on this console and now the PS3 is affordable to most people.
You can go online with your 40GB PS3 and connect to the Playstation Network which is completely FREE. Create your online ID and enjoy free online gaming and access to the Playstation Store where you can download free demos, videos, blu-ray trailers, game trailers, game add-ons and there's also full games which you can pay for. This can all be done from your PS3 controller and via your TV.
If you haven't played PS3 games before then you're in for a treat. You really have never seen anything like next generation gaming on this powerful console and this is only the beginning. Sony have a fantastic line-up of new and exclusive games coming only to the PS3 from now through till this time next year. Certain games such as Heavenly Sword and Motorstorm take advantage of the power of the PS3 and create some of the best graphics and AI you will see in video games, such as thousands of enemies being able to be on-screen all at the same time each running their own AI and advanced physics making everything all so real.
This 40GB doesn't include backwards compatibility, which simply means you cannot play your PS2 games on it. This was featured in the 60GB model but for 100 less this is the only real difference, there's also a couple of USB ports missing but this is not usually a problem as most people don't use four at the same time anyway and your wireless controller charges via one of them but only for a couple of hours but this PS3 works just the same as the 60GB making it a real bargain.
You cannot miss out on the PS3 now, you will not be dissapointed. Buy this console and also consider getting titles such as Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, Resistance, Folklore and Genji to name a few. Then by Christmas there will be Haze, Uncharted Drake's Fortune, Ratchet & Clank and more all in their stunning next-gen glory. In 2008 there are some HUGE games coming which will turn the PS3's free online gaming network into the place to be. These include the virtual world Home, LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, Grand Theft Auto 4, Motorstorm 2 and many many more!
I hope you liked the review, do enjoy the console and hopefully I'll see you online soon and who knows we may end up racing each other on Motorstorm one day ;)
 Clarification of rev667's review October 16, 2007

This version of the PS3 does have PS1 backwards compatibility,that's purely software driven and allows Sony to still sell the old PS1 games through download.
As stated there is no PS2 ability for this model nor is there likely to be any software upgrades to add it in the future. You want to play your old games buy the 60Gb model.
Amazing Bargain October 13, 2007

A few moths ago i was torn between wether i should get a 360 or PS3. In the end I opted for 360 for its cheaper price and xbox live. Over the months i have been watching PS3's progress and suddenly decided it was (dare i say it) the better console, however i was still put off by the price. Now it has come down to 299.99 only a tenner more than the 360 i will be buying one for christmas.
Brilliant! Love it October 12, 2007

Finally, they have reduced the price of the PS3 only a few little deductions from the normal 1 also!
I was a bit dissapointed that the additional memory slots were not available on this 1, but i've noticed that Datel have done a multi card reader which plugs straight into the USB Slot!!
So now all they need to do is bring out something that can make the new PS3 backwards compatible. :)
