Hmm so I guess it's a UK model.

When or if the UK 40gb gets ps2 compatibility it'll be through a firmware update wont it? Meaning could I but a 40GB now and still get this functionality down the line.

Does the 40Gb on sale now have memory card slots etc

If... being the big question.

IMO it's more likely they'll have to make games compatable by hand... much how the 360 handles Xbox compatability... with a focus being on games they want to resell.

As i recall no PS3 has memory card slots and you need to run an adaptor through the USB for them all.

True, but you use virtual "internal memory cards" to save games day to day. The adapter is only of transfer save games to and from a PS2 memory card.

His game collection does not have any PS2 games, so he would be starting them fresh and would therefore need nothing other than to create internal memory cards.

 

Good to know.  Can you move save data from the PS3 off to the PS2 memory card though?  I've got a few games that have a nasty habit of deleting game data if something happens during gameplay and often keep multiple backups of said game data.

Fire Pro Wrestling beign one, which is so finnicky it doesn't even let you use third party memory cards... and when i've spent the time to make 200+ wrestlers who wrestle a lot like their true life counterparts... I want lots of insurance of memory wipe.
