"And now another one of Sony’s standards has bitten the dust. When Sony re-engineered the PS3 to make it cheaper to manufacture (the 40Gb model) they took a lot out. Most famously backwards compatibility to PS2. It also lost it’s memory card reader and two USB ports. But quietly and almost un-noticed it lost the ability to play Super Audio CDs [SACD], Sony’s failed attempt at super HiFi audio disks. Not that anyone is going to notice."

The 40GB PS3 won't play SACDs the others will.

I have the 60gb model which can do it, but i never use it.

They better keep it available in one of the models because it is one of the reasons that could actually make me buy the thing. Convenience... But then this is Sony we're talking about.
