i'm planning on buying a ps3 this fall after my birthday monies come in. i'm wondering, however, if it's worth the money to buy an 80gb ps3 vs the 60gb one. the 60gb has the backwards compatability, and i'd save $100 to use to get some games.

hmm.. any thoughts???

I would get the 60. If you want a bigger hard drive you could always just upgrade it yourself. And unless you're going to be storing lots of media on your PS3, 60gb is just fine.

poor n00b! Do ye not know of teh intarwebs!?

1) You totally want the 60. Backwards compatibility, bells and whistles.

The HD is swappable, buy any 3.5" HD and it slides right in. Easier than teh buttsecks!

2) Rumor is we will have teh 40GB model for $399 come HaloLaunch or shortly after, perhaps announced at teh TGS this week. Keep your eyes peeled.

3) You may be n00b, but teh PS3 is good choice. Games R Gud. Get teh Warcocks, it is super fun, then come and play with Dtoid peeps on Wednesdays.

4) Don't forget teh Resistance. It is also fun. Also recommended: VF5 (if you're a fighting fan), flOw if you're an indy games fan, SPF2:THDR, Heavenly Sword (buy if you're a ga-ga God of War fan, otherwise rent), and don't forget the HDTV for pretty colors.

That is all.

@Kryptinite: Don't forget about Linux. That's 10 gigs.

The PS2 chip is gone from the PS3 60 GB's now. If you buy a new 60GB, plan on it not having the PS2 inside. They said all remaining supplies of the 60 GB's were depleted in August and that new 60GB's are basically the same as the 80, just with the smaller drive.

@balth

Yeah that's true but if you knew you could install linux and was planning on doing so, you wouldn't be asking which system you should get.
