I think i'll stick to Black. Not much of a "totally silver" person. :) Opened an 80gig just to test it out before cutting the UPC. I'd have to say, BC is definitely important to me. Upscaled PS2 games, especially kingdom hearts and final fantasy. That's a must!

For those who've never seen the upscaling in action - it makes a difference, especially on HDTV screens. Generally, you have to switch to widescreen within the game menu, then turn on blurring and full screen on your PS3 menu (click on the PS button in mid-game and scroll down to the visual options). Makes God of War 2 and Final Fantasy 12 look outstanding. Note that GoW2 requires a special input code during the startup sequence to unlock the HD visuals... kind of a pain, because I always forget the damn code, but does look nice.

 

God of War 2 code unlocks a 480p mode with full sized buffers, so its not HD and its not terribly different than the 480p mode available in the menus. And upscalings effects are way overstated when it comes to games.

 

Engadget had a bunch of high rez screens of the new PS3 model. In those screens, it looked like the little bit of crome on the very bottom of the Ps3 was gone (its on the right when verticle). Also of note was the lack of some vents, but vents enlarged in some other areas.
