buy ps3 on friday but which one?

Question

i really dont care about the backwards thiingy

Answer 1

1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU) installed.
2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB versio, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim.
3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions.
4). 40GB - can't play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan.
5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played.

Answer 2

I'd personally go with the 80GB model priced at $499.99. For an extra $100, you get three memory card readers, built in Wi-Fi for wireless internet access, backwards compatibility (which I know you don't care about), and 40GB more memory. All of that together costs much more than $100, so it's a better value all together.

Answer 3

If you're talking about the cheaper/more expensive consoles, then it depends on your likes/dislikes.
If you're into just gaming, then go with the less expensive one because you'll require less memory and will probably not care about the added features.
But if you're into music, videos, etc. then go with the more expensive console.
The price has been lowered to $500, making it more affordable (still expensive though).

Hope my answer helped.

Answer 4

Get the PS3 with 60GB.
