Keep the EU 60GB PS3!

Target:
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
Sponsored by: 
In a recent announcement, SCEE announced a new PS3 with a 40GB hard drive and lacking PS2 backwards compatibility. They also stated the 60GB which does have backwards compatibility for alot of PS2 games will be discontinued in Europe leaving only the basic package without backwards compatibility left. Consumers deserve the choice to either have a basic package or a high end package. Backwards compatibility for PS2 games is important to alot of people and so is the extra 2 USB sockets and media card slots.

I think it is wrong, and unfair, and that it is a bad idea to take backwards compatibility out of the ps3. Backwards compatibility is important and a big selling point.

With this new model, why would i now settle for something that is inferior to something of the past? I was completely turned off by the new model, so I just bought an XBOX. But if the old model returns, I would definitely buy.

La retrocompatibilidad es algo que siempre ha estado en la política de Sony, por qué quitarlo ahora y por qué en España? Poner de vuelta la de 60GB a la venta!

If, when i´ll go to buy it, the only avaliable PS3 in the store is the 40Gb one, with no PS2 compatibility, only 2 USB ports and no Memory card slot, i´ll buy a XBox 360. Please keep the 60Gb PS3 version.
