There hasn't been usb ports and card readers since they discontinued the 60GB model though... they are convenient, but still, you can just transfer the shit on your card to a usb drive and pop that in the PS3. Or hell, if you were using them to look at media on the PS3, just set your computer up as a media server on your network and you can just view whatever is on your computer on your PS3, bang bang.Ryan Keong said:my original fat ps3 got yellow lights so im going to get one of these when they come out i think only downside is only two usb ports and no card reader still cheaper console, runs quieter and doesnt use as much power so its pretty good all up
