i want to know whether it will explain things like this on the box, then i will give predictions....i mean is the average consumer going to walk into a store and see two different prices with only the HDD space mentioned on the box?

there should be a big orange sticker saying "doesn't play PS2 games" on it.

 If they do not do something like this I expect in at least the States for them to get some bad press in the non-gaming media.  Nothing major but I think you will see an editorial somewhere from someone telling how they bought their kid one and found out they had purchased something other than what they had thought they bought.  Though I think if I was them I would acutally send stickers to put on the old ones that say "Backwards compatible to PS2" instead of putting the negative ones on the new units.  It would be a more positive spin on the change.

yes i was joking about the bright orange stickers, but they should put it in writing on the box, and adding stickers to PS2 compatible is a pretty good idea.
