im depending on a slim release so i can buy a current PS3 after a price cut. can someone tell me if the current ones are back-compatible?


Only the 60GB model. You will have to buy it used if you want one.

There are some things that caught my eye in that link, but here's two of them

"Apple iPhones, Foxconn OEMs Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericsson cell phones, and Palm cellphones."

"It produces the iPod nanos for Apple Computer."

That only took about 10 seconds :P

So long as the final result isn't a PS3 Go (slim), I may end up buying back in.

(and by PS3 Go, I mean a PS3 with no blu-ray drive and a large internal hard drive for $80 more than the normal PS3)

Actually, now that I have a stand alone blu-ray player, a PS3 Go would be perfect! A huge (like 1TB) HDD and downloaded games would be perfect for me and my internet, but not for the majority of folks, I assume.

Lets hope for a PS3 Slim with still slot loading drive and price of $350 or lower!
