"You cannot upgrade after u have made the purchase."
Wrong. You can upgrade the harddrive. From the Playstation website;
PLAYSTATION®3 hard disk drive is removable and upgradable. You can upgrade the drive by removing the hard drive and replacing it with a larger capacity drive.
Also from the head guy at Sony himself in an inteview
you'll probably go for the 60GB version. If you're a complete music fan and video fan, and you want to have huge amounts of digital content, then you can upgrade to whatever size of drive you like. You can put any in that you like - it is a computer, after all.
So that hard drive is a standard PC drive?
ATA, bog standard, yeah."
"Remember! The 500$ version has more problems then just less room on the HDD. It has many features taken out, such as HDMI and things that u may need later on to enjoy HD that the system does not have and CANNOT be upgraded to"
Sony just announced that the 20 GB version will in fact have HDMI.

Remmember! The 500$ version has more problems then just less room on the HDD. It has many features taken out, such as HDMI and things that u may need later on to enjoy HD that the system does not have and CANNOT be upgraded to, they just give u a crippled system with no chance of recovery. But some ppl dont need that stuff so they buy the 500$ version, but most ppl are going to say "hey, wait a sec 100$ for 40Gb?".

well, the link that I found said that with a 20GB hard drive it's $499, and with a 60 GB hard drive it's $599.
so - it's not like you'll "upgrade" it to a 60 GB model - you'll either get a 20 or a 60.
Personally, I think that $500 for a new gaming system is a bit steep - and $599 for a gaming system is pretty ridiculous.
But, to each their own!
