See this:
http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/060509ae.pdf
$599 PS3 has 60GB HDD, 1 x HMDI (not 2), wifi, CF/SD/MS slots, 4 x USB2, GbE, Bluetooth, digital audio out.
$499 PS3 has 20GB HDD, 4x USB2, GbE, Bluetooth, digital audio out.
No HDMI (so no 1080p and no HDCP), no wifi, no card slots.
Apparently the cheapest version ($499) will only have support at 720p for Blu-Ray discs  |
