www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8078754&postcount=1683 No chrome strip No memory card reader Smaller 40 GB hard drive 2 USB ports instead of 4 No ethernet cable included in the box No PS2 backwards compatibilty --- If the other ones were bad (they were bad), the last one must have screwed us all. Dude, no PS2 BC? Do you know how many sales that'll turn away? The one thing Sony (might've) done right they hammer us to where we were before. Is Sony TRYING to be 3rd? Come on...

 

Chrome Strip... Who cares

Memory card reader... Some will care but whatever portable device you have will have a USB port and you have a cord so that's void.

Smaller 40GB hard drive... Did you forget this is the PlayStation 3? The hard drive comes in as many flavors as you want. 20 up until 250 for internal. Or hook up an external one 500 or 750.  This isn't like 360 where you get twenty or 120 and pay ridiculous prices for either one.

USB Ports.  There are USB Multi-taps where you can have one and turn it into two or four so that's done

Etherner cable included... Is that seriously a gripe?  I'm not even going to respond to that

The only important thing that is missing is the backwards compatability.  It does kind of suck that you can't play PS2 games but most people (100 million or so) have a PS2 and soon enough it'll be obsolete so that really doesn't matter. 

In conclusion, the new 400 price point is perfect for me, I was waiting for it to be compratively priced vs. the 360 and now that it is, I'm buying it.   Yay 4 me!
