Well, a friend of mine has the 80gb.. and plays ps2 games. I know because he borrows mine. It would be retarded to make them all not be able to play the older games. The 40gb is one of the newer models (came out in 20/60, then 40/80, now 160) that will not play older games.

Last I read, the newer versions of PS3 didn't support backwards compatibility.

My friend just got that 80GB PS3, and he says it won't play PS2 games. Says it right on the box that PS2 games are incompatible. There's a high chance he's just being stupid, but if it's true, then I think 360 pulls ahead a bit (I have neither, though. I got just got a Wii, and I think it was the wrong choice for me). But like you said, everyone has different reasons. Backlog might not matter for some.

I like the new dashboard, but the Netflix support doesn't work in Canada.

Xbox said they're going to fix the Netflix thing and add somemore avatar stuff sometime next year in another update. Also did anybody else turn they're avatar into a psuedo james bond villian?

That might be an opinion, as for every person that says that, there is one for the PS1/2

Generally, you don't hear 'Microsoft' and 'workmanship' in the same sentence though, unless you have the words 'dont have' somewhere in there.

Like I said, I didn't want to get into a 'which system is better' argument, was only stating that if price was your ONLY means of picking, then that reason is dying out.

But the Original Xbox's games were just so much better in every sense. There may not have been as many, but the graphics and workmanship that went into most of the games was heads above that of the playstation.

My dashboard works great, then again it already experienced the RROD was fixed long ago. I remember MS delayed it try and ensure it doesn't brick any boxes, but the RROD is supposed to be just for hardware problems.

If you count the PS2 games, and the original Xbox games though, PS3 wins

I'm just saying, if price was your sole reason to exclude the PS3, that reason is pretty much moot now a days. They both have their plusses and cons, and I totally don't wanna debate them (I have a PS3/Wii, a friend has a Wii/360, and another has the PS3/360, and we all think the others made the wrong choice lol).
