The large-volume system will come bundled with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a voucher for the PlayStation Network title PAIN, and a DualShock 3 controller. The 160GB system carries the same feature list as the 80GB model.

Sony expects the package to sell for $499.99 when it arrives in November.

      The 40 GB was replaced with 80 GB. I think the MSG4 bundle was the old 80 GB w/ BC to clear out that inventory.

        you sure? from what I read all I've heard is that it has "some" compatibility meaning software emulation

          The new one has PSone backwards compatibility only because that has always been done through software.

            Yeah, All PS3's have PSX BC done through software, which is how the PS2 achieved that as well.

            PS2 is a different story. The launch models had EE+GPU in there, basically a PS2 latched on.

            They later took out the EE but still included the GPU IIRC for the 80 GB model and all that PS2 hardware completely with the 40 GB.
