All I want to know is why would we need those flash and memory slots for when we have a 60gb hard drive? Will we be able to transfer images and music from PC to the PS3 with the flash drives? But still I think Sony is holding something huge back becuase theres no reason for flash/memory card slots like those on a gaming console.
Ken Kutaragi isn't trying to market a game console, it's a computer (Even though most people are so accustomed to their definition of pc, yes the PS3 is one). Those memory slots would be used for transferring from digital cameras, PC's, PSP, other handhelds, etc. It would also be good if you used them for game saves, and brought them to your friends house, but you can do that without those cards also. I'm pretty sure you can use USB flash drives so yea, the 20GB version will probably still have small portable media options.
