Yah the only thing I was worried about when it came to getting a 40g was the USB slots, I would need to buy a hub. I can deal with the lack of PS2 support for now, I know BC will be available in some time to come, but for now PS3 support is more important. I do like the quieter model, and you can always upgrade the hard-drive yourself, so that wasn't much of an issue.
Good transition I'd say though :)
