This will definitely drive up sales. The PS3 uses the HD to store saves. The memory slot refers to the flash-based slots, like CF, SD, and Memory Stick Pro Duo.

at least they are sticking to one sku now, seems pointless that they bothered to make ps2 games up-scaling on the ps3.

No memory card slot? So how do I save? Do I take the memory card and put it in my head to save?

Ummmm dude did you even read the article coz I'm pretty sure a HDD whether it be 40GB or 60GB is mentioned at least once per sentence.
... That my friend is how you save...

I have the XBOX 360, and would like to get the PS3 but only when the price comes down. Any move to lower the price is a good thing. And I wonder if the PS3 will finally shine next year with better games?

1 year after the US launch they're selling a far lower spec'd version of the PS3 in the UK for the self same £299 (= $600) they were selling the higher spec'd 60gb model for in the USA.
How they must be laughing as the fanclub (desperate to lap up anything served up to them without a hint of critical thought) proclaim this a 'bargain'.
Too funny.

I have a 360 and a PS3 I would stick with the 360 untill the PS3 comes down in price to like £150 and there are some exclusive games. At the moment everytime I turn my PS3 on I have to update it. And the sony shop is a joke! there is like 7 demos to download. On Xbox live there is 100's of playable demos. Sony are more worried about Blu-ray being the next format than games.

Thanks for the info nptwenty. I had no idea that Sony shop was a joke like that. Maybe I will wait indefinitely until the price is right.
Plus I think Sony likes to make processes confusing just for a laugh. Take the Sony mp3 players that only use their arcos (sic) system for managing music.

Actually the PS store has far more than 7 demo's, but its nowhere near XBL's 100+ demos. I'm not fully sure why the ps3 can't do ps2 games on the 40gb version, the did BC with emulation on the 80gb version why can't the do it with this one. Its a good thing I got a launch 60gb version.

You really don't own a PS3 because if you did you would know that there are far more Demos than 7.Just another Xbot trying to down play the good moves Sony is making now.

We will just have to wait and see what the outcome of all this will be if they get a replacement for the 60gig or not :)
