If the above internal Bestbuy memo from a PS3 fanboy is true then Sony is going to drop the 80GB SKU. If the high end 80GB SKU is on the way out then what does this mean for those looking to or having already bought a PS3.
Sony could decided to match Microsoft's Xbox360 gig for gig and bring out a high end 120GB SKU. There has been speculation though that the 40GB PS3 has become the standard and is slated to gain market share for just that reason. Its double the premium Xbox360's HD space (20vs40GB).
Sony is trying to cut costs and make there new console as profitable as it can be as soon as possible. Sony still lags behind with its hyped online community "HOME". Most experts or those who play xboxlive will admit that, to steal a phrase from apple, "it just works".
So Sony's lacking in the online content and game software (although this year will see a huge release of PS3 games), leading everyone to bend over backwards to get backward compatibility. Everyone I've spoken to, I've said get the 60GB or 80GB because of the lack of good games. Sony has other ideas and there are rumors that they will cut backwards compatibility out. If you still wanna play PS2 games then go buy a PS2. Sony needs to ship PlayStation 3 titles to get game developers to continue to make games or even think about making them.
All things considered, the Xbox360 is winning because of its massive library among other things. What do you think of all this ? Is backward compatibility dead ?
