I've been told this is not true, that the 40gb is gloss black too? As far as I know the only differences are:

No backwards compatability for PS2 games,
No memory card slots,
Only 2 USB ports on the front,
Only 40GB hard drive.

To be honest I wouldn't miss any of that stuff off my 60gb, I never use any of it. And the hard disc is easy to upgrade on all the PS3's later on anyway.

Why would the 40gb system not play PS2 games where the 60GB will? Its totally nonsensical.

Save money or something. Bit of a silly reason. It will still play PS1 games mind.

I *think* the 60GB includes some extra software on board to process the older games, so they save money by not including it.

Hard drive is dead easy to upgrade anyway, so no point in waiting TBH.
