      In the uk we don't get the 250gb model, we get 12gb! And no, that wasn't a typo, and will still have to pay the same price as the 250gb costs.

      You forgot to mention. The BD slot has been neatly hidden on front panel. And a bundles stand to make it stand firm in vertical position.

      I also forgot to mention it's reduced weight! Model number and which firmware it ships with. Come on man. LOL

      The 12GB model will also have a dedicated 250GB external harddrive avaliable. Not really that surprising in my opinion, since this is also a business model.

      I also find it interesting to see how technology goes forward. The PS3 was relatively big and heavy when it got released, now the new model is fairly small and lighter, still it gives the exact same power.

      you say... there is no SACD support, no PS2 compatibility (either hardware or software), no Linux support anymore, etc it doesn't sound to me like "the exact same".

      yes! yes! yes!

      probably not even need a swap magic, might be able to just find a disc that stops spinning. i hope it's as easy as the psx and the slim pstwo, where you just need like tape or something to hold a button down.

      I'm only talking about the PS3 part and the hardware size and power SACD and Linux support doest affect this. The new PS3 model is just as powerful as all the other PS3 consoles. It doesnt have less RAM, or weaker CPU and GPU. I agree with the PS2 backward compability though, because that required extra chips, so that is one thing that could save extra space.
