Forums - Sony Discussion - 40GB ps3s silver?

40 GB Silver in Europe? Doesn't make any sense! The pictures in the press release show a black PS3!

If its this color, I know for sure its going to sell. It looks way too good to resist. edit: That $hit loo raw!!!! Dam I want it!!! Seriously I would sell my 60gig for that 40gig just for its color!! @Rath Since the 1.94 ps3 update, All ps3's with EE play every single ps2/ps1 game.

That silver PS3 looks beautiful.

Why is there no 'Sony' logo at the centre of the controller?

I hope they release a white PS3 in the future aswell, like they showed way back in 05'.



 

I think it would be great if ALL 40gig models are done in silver - and only silver.

No BC makes it a significantly different model - and a very easy way to visually recognise one model from the other would be a great thing. No passing models off on Ebay that are one or the other.

I never knew this! I played my PS2 games on my PS2.


A lot of people play PS2 games on a PS2. And people complain about BC.



I'll take the case!!!

For some reason, a different color seems like a cool way to help differentiate the models to me. I hope the silver color stays with the no-BC 40gb unit only.

I want to play PS2 games on my PS3, mommy! Get me the black one!

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.
