Don't want to ose the PS2 games though, but then may aswell not trade in the PS2.

There is an 80Gb model being released in the New Year and the only reason for changing the 60Gb to 40Gb was so they could lower the retail price to compete with the Xbox 360 Elite in time for christmas!
The only PS3 that is backwards compatible with PS2 games is the 60Gb model!
These can still be found in some shops and there also being sold on ebay for around 600 quid haha
To keep production costs down on the new 40Gb model Sony removed a chip which played the PS2 games!
If the chip is to be fitted again in the new 80Gb model in the new year is anybodys guess.
Hope this helps

Going to keep the PS2 anyway now.

I thought there were other things the PS3 60gig had on top of the 40gig one though.

I still think the xbox 360 is very good. Sold mine last year but as there are so many good games out im going to get another in january sales.

Did'nt see the fight, but felt gutted that he lost, too much of a mountain to climb once Merry***** had got him on the ropes, felt so sorry for him on the deck. And he is really a nice guy too. I think he should call it a day and keep what pride he has, still a Champion!!!

Definately still a champion in my eyes. I met the guy last year when i went to watch a boxing match in altringham. Very nice guy. Took the time for a handshake, photos and autograph which most famous people are too stuck up to do.

I think the 60gig one has more usb holes and it has a memory card slot or something

[Stevemac]

269 Mini's in a convoy has been broken, Watch Mini2.com go bonkers in the new year, the Yanks have officially taken the world record of us with a convoy of 273 Mini's this came from a very reliable source."Woodies" I believe that officials from GWR have now confirmed this to be true.
I'm hoping they "Woodies" have a plan to regain the title very soon. Cant have them yankee's beating us!!!

Cant have the yanks holding the record!!!

I agree, lets hope Woodman's organise another event, the last one was fantastic.
