40Gb PS3 with NO backwards compatability for Europe...

Isn't there an 80 GB version that has the BC and will "replace" the 60 GB version anyway? Fact of the matter is that Sony's PR has been pretty horrible so far. As far as the 40 GB version goes, isn't it supposed to be like the "budget" version of the console? And when you make a "budget" version something needs to get left out, the Xbox 360 Core version drops the harddrive, which in turn cuts things out like downloadable content. I hope, I don't get harped on for being a fanboy, because although I may only own a Wii and PS3 and not a Xbox 360, I don't see how that makes me Sony's lap dog. I'm merely trying to point out that while the Sony gets verbally assaulted, and in some cases rightfully so, there are some reasons for them to make this new "gimped" 40GB PS3, it's just another option for the consumer.

 

Edit: After posting I realized I forgot about the Europe conditional, and yes after the 60GB versions are sold off in Europe then the 40GB will be the only ones available in Europe. So, that is a real bonehead move by Sony.

Then again, I never understood fanboyism in the console war. If Microsoft wins, do you get money for it or something? Do you own shares of Sony? I always felt it was ever so ridiculous for people to crap over each other for...nothing.
I always figured it was because they were trying to convince themselves that they didn't make a colossal mistake buying the console they did. Especially those who took part in a "midnight madness" sale.

I don't know about that, but as a consumer, I feel insulted that I have to give them my money and wait 6 months to get the full package.

 

It's not that I don't have a high speed internet connection or anything, it's just that I expect those elements to be included from the get-go. After all, when you buy a car, they don't tell you you'll get your wheels in a few months when they're going to be ready.
