News: And like the others, it will not feature backwards compatibility.
Sony has announced that the 40 GB PlayStation 3 console recently announced for Europe will also be coming to America. Beginning November 2, gamers will be able to get their hands on the 40 GB model for $399.99. Sony also announced that, effective immediately, the 80 GB model will see a price drop to $499.99.
The American 40 GB model will offer the same feature set as the European model including 2 USB ports and no backwards compatibility for PS2 titles. The package will also include a copy of Spider-Man 3 (the movie, not the game) on Blu-Ray Disc.
We'll have more on all things PlayStation 3 soon.
