Answer 1

I have recently been defending the PS3 in heated debates over "Which Console is better". Well first off all the consoles are great in different ways. However, if you are talking about performance and graphic wise the PS3 comes out on top. Yes, the launch titles weren't great for the PS3 but this fall you have Assassin's Creed, Warhawk, and Lair, not to mention countless others. Why is the PS3 getting so much fuss if it's superior? Well the price does play in a little but mainly Microsoft and Nintendo know that the PS3 is better than their consoles and they are scared, so the normal thing to do is attack and slander the PS3. Now you have the right to slander anything you want but don't be ignorant and talk about the low quality of a console that you haven't even placed your hands on. PS2 did the best in sales last-gen and the PS3 will own this generation of gaming again. Period. This console has made me re-think on what "gaming" is; I will always be loyal to Sony. Buy this console if you want to know what gaming is all about. An excellent machine at its best. The HDD, chrome, MS reader, heck, even the 6 USB ports for tons of periphials, IS WORTH THE MONEY, for those that are just now smelling the coffee, is a staggering (but totally worth it) $600 USD. I'm a practical audiophile and have tons of photos of my nephew, niece and my cats :) the photo album is a great addition. I also game online, and the built in WiFi (60gb) helps me do that. The only drawbacks are the 'crime scene' style shell and the current limits of the browser which (STILL!!) cannot play videos online for YouTube or Google. But who needs that, when you got a video menu too! And I prefer to have a system that won't fry like the 360 or be too "fragile" like the Wii if dropped, (though it does weigh in at 11 lbs/5kg) and I personally like that SCEA and Sony put the XMB in the PS3 like the PSP. I prefer that over the 'channels' of the Wii and the "blades" dashboard of the 360. The Good: Excellent media system! Nice features The Bad: A little PRICEY Could lose weight Where is the skins for it?! The Verdict: Of all 600 USD, you'll be glad that every cent of it is in it, and that is a good thing.


Get the 80gb

Answer 2

The 80 gb costs 100 bucks more but you also get Motor Storm (60 bucks), so you're basically paying 40 bucks for 20 extra gb. Not really worth the price because internal hard drives are pretty cheap. If you need the hard drive, you can always buy a SATA hard drive and put it in your PS3.

I say go for the 60 gb because it has the emotion engine, which is good for backward compatibility. The 80 gb is going to use software emulation for backward compatibility, and we all know how well software emulation is working for the 360. Almost 2 years later, and only about 400 XBX games are playable on the 360.

Answer 3

The 80gb is probably gonna cost $500 when the 60gb gets depleted. So hold off buying it till then. If you have the money, then you can use the extra money to get another game -- most googd games are coming out later this year or early next year.

Personally, I got the 60gb b/c it was the only one out there and since I got it doing those freebie systems (yes, it's legit... google "Free ps3" if you wanna learn why). I would however, still choose it over the 80gb b/c it has the emoticon chip for better backwards compatability.

Answer 4

Chose the cheaper one. Because buying a PS3 doesn't mean you are just gonna get that. You are also going to need some better graphics, controllers, and a lot more items. I personally got a 60GB because I wanted to buy more stuff. I now have a perfect PS3 with a lot of good games. If I had bought the 80GB I would have had to raise more money just to buy 1 more controller.

Answer 5

I would recommend the 60gb. It has everything that the 80gb has, except for the bigger hard drive. But you can always upgrade to a bigger hard drive. And like someone said before, the 80gb has emulators to play PS1 & PS2 games. Not saying that the emulator is a bad thing but I would rather have the emotion engine.

Answer 6

Get 60GB version. It has a chip, that ensures backwards compatibility with PS1/PS2 games. 80GB (and later 60GB versions) won't have that chip. And if you'll feel, that 60GB isn't enough for your PS3 - you can always replace HDD with any 2.5" SATA HDD. Personally, I have a couple of demos, lots of saves on my 60GB. 55GB is still free.

Answer 7

60 gb is a lot of space just get that 1

Answer 8

if you play alot of games and have alot of saves and want load times to be faster go with the 80gb

Answer 9

if you don't need more than 60gb, buy 60gb
you can always upgrade your harddrive (150gb for same difference as 80gb)

Answer 10

In Korea it have in built modem.
