Should I get the 80GB or the 40GB. I plan on downloading alot of stuff, putting music on the system, and maybe for photos. I don't have any PS2 or PS1 games. Also, when is PS4 coming out?

PS4 might be released at 2010 or 2011.
It's a rumour whoever said it's going to be released on the 2008.. !
Who would release a Ps3 and THEN a Ps4?!
The 40 GB has no Multimemory card reader.
No backwards compatability.
2 USB ports.
40 GB.
Only difference between 80 GB and 40 GB is above.
If the above info. don't matter then you can get a 40 GB!

You can buy a 250GB external for like $130. The PS3 lets you plug externals hardrives into it to so you might as well just get the 40GB. If you plan on buying any PS2 games you will need to get the 80GB in order for them to play on it though.

if you want backward compatibility dont get the 40gb as they took this feature out of that one for some reason. Just because you dont have any ps1/2 games doesn't mean that you may not suddenly decide to go and get the odd one because some of them are still quite good fun to play.

This question is an often one, so that's my cut & paste answer:
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 version, 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. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system. It's the latest version.
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.
Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB.

the cheap one, if you save stuff on the PS3 how will you get it off? Bluetooth trans will let you download stuff to it if you want to share things on the PS network
