Just bought a PS3 and it has a gloss finish!:confused:

I thought that all 40gb has a matt finish, I was dissapointed because I much prefer the matt finish. I can only guess that they decided to change to matt some time after the production of the 40gb model.

Anyone else with a 40gb with gloss?

Cheers.

Surely they wouldn't bother with that on the spec sheet if it was just the tiny peice of plastic around the disk insert.

mmm......strange.:(
 
Was there not a similar discussion about the 360 a while back, it specifies a silver finish but is only talking about the DVD drive cover.
