Analyst Datamonitor say that:
Euro PS3 will feature a new cost-reducing chassis.

“By launching the PS3 in Europe with the new chassis, Sony has at a stroke removed one of the barriers to future price reductions, and providing it can make enough units available, Datamonitor believes there will be sustained growth in PS3 ownership as new users seek to benefit from the PS3's enhanced features and functionality,” said the analyst.

And backwards compatibility not as good as other regions. “limited range” of Ps2 titles will work:confused:
So we get a cheaper case and the same initial high price tag?

Nice one sony….
Did the US model have DTS 7.1 support?

No Hardware backward compatibility support, the chip is pulled out. PS2 emulation is software only IIRC
