Cant remember all the details... just remember hearing 2 USB ports instead of 4... ooooooo.... and 40GB HDD.... whoopie, theyre a 2.5inch laptop HDD anyway so you can simply replace it with a much bigger one.

Kralster, your in the know... can ya shed more light on the details?

oh here it is...

http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2007/10/australi..._price_and.html

also missing the card reader... big whoop.

looks like they listened to people complaining about it having shit on it that they dont need or want and thus not justifying the price.

lol fair enough

so its obviously true!!! or at least close enough to be labelled reasonably possibly within the realms of being 100% maybe true or not to say false.

:thumbsup:

sweet.

Price Japan has the 20GB japanese PS3 at $620 delivered, and the 60gb at 720 delivered

http://pricejapan.com/front/e_good_info.ph...amp;category=13

They go at yahoo auctions (secondhand) for about $380 + shipping. Lookin at gettin one for myself later in the year.

I'd just buy a base model, upgrade the SATA HDD and crack the firmware on it to allow all regions etc.

Also keep in mind one of the most common ways to exploit the PS3 is by using the memory card slot to read exploits off a memorystick. if this 40gb unit removes that then its kinda useless.

Well here is the official link...

As the link says (im pretty sure) That model is confirmed for NZ as well so no need to worry!

I bought mine Wednesday just been and im happy i got it with the extra features! The 60GB HDD is well over half full already!

But its good to see that a price drop is finally here! $300 drop is a big drop!

IMO it's a crap decision that sony has made. I now see even more reasons not to buy a ps3. With this new deal you can play ps3 games and movies. Features that at this moment (espicially gaming) are under utlized. Most games on ps3 are substandard at the moment.

Yet they have taken out backwards compatibility for ps2 games, which is the only thing stopping me buying a import ps3. Ps2 games look freaking sweet using the upscaling with the 60 gig ps3, God of war 2 is amazing in 1080 and now they have taken it out, stupid stupid move, they haven't made it a better dead they've made it a worse deal that costs less. 500 dollars is what this package is worth no more.

And by removing the card reader they have destroyed their credibility by always stating that the ps3 is not just a game console, it's a complete media solution. Well it isn't now.

You all know that i have not been a huge fan of the ps3, but i have always said it has the potentinal and that i believe it will be the best console in years to come. But i now think sony have made far too many mistakes, and am now unable to recover the ground they have lost to nintendo and microsoft.

the ps3 is still a media station you are able to stream off ur pc to ur ps3 to watch videos etc, you just need a wireless connection. Also im pretty sure they added the backwards compatibility in the software update

they've also announced that the 60gb version will be phased out... something tells me they over allowed features in the PS3 pricing themselves out of the game, and opening too many avenues to be hacked/exploited.

It's only overpriced in australia, europe, new zeland, etc, etc.

Look at the prices on ebay and you can see we are getting screwed by sony.

60gig model has been out of stock for almost two months now as well. All stock still on shelves would of been from over 2 months ago, so obivously they are phasing it out for the crappy 40 gig model.

And to the above poster so what if you can stream media from a pc? what if you want to plug your sd card in and view the photos? Thats a feature sony promised us about 18 months ago and now they aren't deliverying on that promise. The console we were told we would have we no longer have. Heck our console was raped from the beginning with the removal of the EE and GS.

crap, I better go buy a 60gb then.

do I want card reader? yes I do

do I want PS2 compat? yes I do

do I want bigger HD? yes I do

so fk the basic one, I'd rather pay the extra for the 60gb.

meh when i know more about how to hack it i will just order a second hand one from the US... $500 or less delivered at the moment was around the best price i could find... theres the odd one thats cheaper

now that people are gettin wind of the old ps3's being discontinued the secondhand prices are creeping up.

meh, i'll just wait for a good exploit/chip to come out for the bare bones ps3 then go to town with a 320gb SATA 3.5" HDD on an adapter.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
