The only bad news about this is that it won't be back compatible with PS2 games.

I was thinking about getting the original 80GB ps3 so i could play my ps2 games, i still have several that i do still play quite a bit. Plus the 80GB price was dropped to $299 as well. and the 120GB is now $399.

update for B/C should be coming around December, whenever sony stops support for the ps2. Atleast that's the rumor.
