Jess Ragan Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 And they play Playstation 2 games! Congratulations! The only downside aside from the limited drive capacity is the lack of wi-fi. I don't know if you can plug in a wi-fi adapter like the one released for the Xbox 360 or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only downside aside from the limited drive capacity is the lack of wi-fi. wow really? I wasn't aware of that. Were the 20Gb the only units that didn't have the built it WiFi?? Just curious A2600, what do those old 20GB run for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Yep. Here's a chart detailing the differences between models: http://www.hardcoreware.net/playstation-3-model-guide/ Later models of the PS3, although lacking backward compatibility with the PS2, are more power efficient. My late model PS3 uses only 110 watts, while the recent slimline model uses just 80 watts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendon Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Nice find!!! Been a looooong time since I've seen a 20gb of any kind being sold. I bought a 60gb at launch and the only reason I didn't consider buying the 20gb (which would have saved me a few $$$) was the lack of built-in WiFi.

Jess Ragan Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Reminds me of the way that the Xbox 360 has different colored drive doors depending on the model. I think the chrome looks better on the PS3 but I prefer the white drive door of the Xbox 360's base unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
