Well, if you would have purchased the 60GB PS3 when they were first avaliable then you wouldn't have the problem that you're having. Yes, the 60GB PS3's did cost more money when they first came out and when they were first avaliable, but they were worth the price.
I purchased the 60GB PS3 and I'm glad that I did because really the 60GB PS3 is the best PS3 console because it has the best backwards compatibility with all of the features. The 20GB PS3 has the best backwards compatibility just like the 60GB PS3 as well because it has the Emotion Engine chip in it , but it doesn't have all of the features that the 60GB PS3 has.
Plus, Microsoft has done the same thing with the Xbox 360. Microsoft even sells an Xbox 360 that doesn't even have a built in hard drive... now that's stupid. I really think that there should only be one console to choose from so that people wont get so confused, but Sony released different configurations of the PS3 to give people different options.

A lot of it is about cost savings for the consumer. By stripping out features they can tune the machine for particular markets. For example, there are many people who wish to buy it solely for the ability to play Blu-ray movies. For those people, the cheaper one with a smaller hard drive and lack of backward compatibility is often an easy option.
Gamers that wish to continue to be able to play their older PS2 games will obviously need to buy one of the slightly higher end models.
The only part I don't really like is the potential for confusion on the consumer's behalf. This can sometime be stayed by well placed and highly visible labeling. However, consumers who do not read or understand what they are buying may be in for a shock when they realize they bought the wrong model. Having an upgrade path could potentially alleviate some of the frustration consumers may endure because of this, but Sony does not provide such a service at this time that I am aware of.

Maybe they make things harder for the retards, but I think its fine what they do. I mean you got one model that is kinda stripped down and so its cheaper, another model that is fully equipped, and one that is more equipped in some areas ans less in others. Seems like a perfect way to go, stop complaining!

Perhaps you should spend less time gaming and more time studying, because your question gives the impression that you are a intellectually bankrupt mental midget. I am not suggesting that you are, but it gives that impression.
