pS3?????????
Posted on Apr 01, 2010 under ps3 | 3 Commentswhat are the ps3 models, what are their prices and what are their features???????
This question is an often one, so that’s my cut & paste answer:
1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2′s CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2′s GPU) installed.
2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim. Not manufactured anymore.
3). 80GB – extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2′s GPU). Around 60-80% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions.
4). 40GB – can’t play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system. It’s the latest version. 40GB doesn’t support SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc).
5). PAL 60GB – reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2′s GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played.
Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB.
They are all based on Blu-ray.

There are two versions that are currently being manufactured: a 40GB version and an 80GB version.
40GB: Two USB slots, comes with Spider Man 3 Blu-Ray, no backwards compatibility at all, no flash card readers, no SACD (super audio compact disk) playback, and costs $399.99.
80GB: Four USB slots, comes with Motorstorm PS3 game, a little backwards compatibility through software emulation (system software updates), multiple flash card readers, SACD playback, and costs $499.99.
A smaller production process of chips means less power consumption, better cooling, and therefore it is quieter. All of the PS3 consoles that are manufactured now contain the 65nm Cell Broadband Engine (CPU). The 65nm RSX (GPU) is coming out soon for all versions. Also, Toshiba is planning on releasing 45nm chips for the RSX and Cell.
Feel free to e-mail me if you have more questions.
