40Gb has a different laser which CAN be broken via a firmware update, main difference.

thats bad so they put a better laser on the 60gb and then stopped selling them just after about a week thats really bad

i just notice on my ps3 (40gb)  the video output is liek the japanese way (left side of the ps3 and serial on the right next to power).  and the hdd drive doesnt have the BIG HDD but japanese words and english sayign this is the hdd.  and the position of the hdd is different, such that the plug is on the back not on the side which i cannot make an externel hdd dirve with my 3.5 hdd. 

is yours like this?

heres the pics.  also, dvd and bluray works on it too. and im located in cali.  the fcc label say ntsc and next to it U/C and the model number is the regular CECHH01.  my nest to my serial, i see CECHA01, is that suppose to be the same as the model number?  unless, ITS CANADIAN.  O.O 

NOTE: the HDD is different, like in stead of push in and slide to left to lock its just push in and puch the screw thingy below it.

That PS3 isnt English, or American, it could be canadian, with the french on it, or completely foreign, like Asia.

whitetop, where are you located.  im thinking its canadian right now.  but when i register this ps3 with the us. playstation.com, it worked.  just hope customer services wont change if i need to repair it since it possibly foreign. 

also, i looked at other 40gb ps3, and its not like mine.  i guess i got a unique one. hehe, just wat i wanted.

US & Jap 60Gb plays all PS2 Games
20Gb's play all PS2 games.
UK 60Gb and 80Gb's some PS2 Games
40Gb's play no PS2 Games.

All consoles play all PS1 Games.

60Gb will easily go for $600 in the Uk still, as its a more desirable model.
