Sony Launches 40GB PS3 in Europe
The 40GB PlayStation 3 is indeed being confirmed by Sony. Announced today in London, the system that's been clamored over for what seems like ages now will launch throughout the SCEE territories on October 10th for 399 EUR (565 USD), which means you don't have too awfully long to wait before getting your hands on one. The new model features just a pair of USB 2.0 ports rather than four, it no longer boasts the multi-memory card port and it is no longer backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 titles. Also, the existing 60GB PS3 Starter Pack will be reduced to 499 EUR (707 USD), but only while supplies last.

The 40gb has no wifi, no backwards compatibility, no HDMI, no card reader...its really gutted out. spend $100 bucks more and find your self a 60gb.
edit: thinking about it, the only difference between the 40gb and the 20gb is 2 less usb ports, no backwards compat, and 20gb more...all for $100 dollars less is an ok deal i guess.
