What is the difference between the PS3 40GB and the 60GB?

May be...
  • Or the other versions?
  • The 40GB has 2 USB drives and no backwards compatibility. The rest have 4 USB drives and do have BC.
  • Other Versions,

    Well hang on, ill tell you



    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.

    60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim. Not manufactured anymore.



    80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 60-70% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions.



    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, silver and white colors. White and silver versions are on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption, other versions use 90nm). Improved cooling system. It's the latest version. 40GB doesn't support SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc). Has no chrome trim. Added self-cleaning function.



    There is a new 80GB model coming this Fall. It's the same as 40GB model, but with a 80gb HDD.



    They are all have Blu-ray. They all play PS1 games
  • 60gb-bc[plays ps2].chrome finish,4 usb ports,more space,memory stick slots



    40gb-none of the above except 2 usb ports
  • 60gb hold more memory

  • Backwards compatibility. Number of USB ports. Flash card reader. Harddrive space. Both are discontinued.
  • why spend money on a playstation 3 when you can get it for free? just go to this site and complete a few quick tasks and they'll send you one - at no charge!
  • memory i think but they all work the same

    Good overview.

    For an overview of which models are compatible with SACD and especially how to make best use of it check the PS3 SACD FAQ.
