The newer PS3 doesn't have hardware compatibility with previous PS systems, but I thought it handled the older software via emulation?
I have the 60 GB version, but I find that I don't use it for anything more than playing Blu-Ray movies and the occasional PS2 game. When the firmware came out that allowed streaming video and audio from a network server, i was pretty pleased. In actuality, there are so many unsupported file types and bugs, that I gave up using the PS3 to stream over the network.
With the purchase of a new iMac, I transferred my MacBook Pro to my entertainment center. Now the PS3 is primarily just a DVD/Blu-Ray/SACD player.
