As far as I know, the latest prices are:

XBox 360 Core - 14990
XBox 360 Pro - 23990
PS3 (40gb with no PS2 compatibility)- 24990

PS3 (40gb with no PS2 compatibility)- 24990

is it backward compatible with PS2 games

 

[bippukt]

Er...no!!! If it was, I would buy it in an instant...only the 80GB version is backwards compatible with PS2

I think the prior post clearly mentions that it is NOT Backward Compatible with PS2 games. Anyways dealers here are still shoving down 60GB models down the consumer's throat for 30Grand.

They just have to check the Sony website so as not to be ripped off. It clearly mentions that the 40GB model is NOT backwards compatible with PS2. It doesn't mention the 60GB model though.

I couldn't find the MRP of XBOX 360 Pro on its website, so I asked their customer care. The cost for the Core I got from shops here in Hyderabad. I wish I had bought the 360 Pro last december for 15k!!!

only the 80GB version is backwards compatible with PS2

..r u sure abt dat....heard a lot dat PS3 isn't backward compatible let it b ne version

^The 80GB & the 60GB were backward compatible with the Playstation 2 games.Both of them sported software emulation.But from the reviews over the internet for the 60GB version, the emulation for PS2 games was pathetic.

60 GB -> have H/w Backward Compatibility... NA now..a collectors item..some had SOD too
80 GB -> have s/w Backward Compatibility...available now
20 GB -> had s/w Backward Compatibility...Not available now

Spin of Death..

the ealry SKU of 60 gb had some pblms with their Blu ray drive..though repairable..not like RROD....the error rate was less than 5%..so not much of an issue..but still it is....

now its non existent...

Yup! The 360s which were shown to me had a date of mid-2006 on them - no way I am going to buy them!
