I think the Jap 60gb one plays old PS2 games whereas the 40gb UK one doesn't. Not 100% on that though...

40GB UK one doesnt play PS2 games

60GB UK one does play PS2 games but uses software so only plays selected PS2 games

60GB Jap one does play PS2 games but used hardware so will play all PS2 games

Hope this helps ..

what about the on screen writing

Does the JP one still have hardware backwards compatibility? I thought they'd changed to software too.
Anyway it's worth nothing that bc isn't region free so you'd only be able to play Japanese PS2 games on it.

youd be best to get a us one tht has the hardware backwards compatibility, basically the older ps3s literally had a ps2 inside it aswell and thats why they can run any ps2 game where as the newer ones use software to emulate a ps2 enviroment which is why its prone to errors and only certain optimised games working

also jap ps3 won,t play english blu ray dvd,s
