PS3 advice?

Question

Im thinking of buying a PS3 and i was wondering where is the best place to get it from? And whats the difference between the 60g and 80g?

Answer 1

I like to get it from Best Buy because the reward zone gives me 5 bucks for every 150 bucks that I spend at Best Buy, and sometimes they do special promotions where you get 10 or 20 bucks in gift certificates just for buying something expensive. I got 20 bucks just for buying a Blu-ray player.

Besides the 20 gb difference, the main difference between the 60 and 80 gb is that the 60 gb has the emotion engine, which was used as the CPU on the PS2, so the 60 gb can play almost all PS2 games. The 80 gb uses software emulation, so it can't play as many PS2 games as the 60 gb. The 60 gb has been discontinued so it might be hard to find one in stores.

Answer 2

The best place to get it from is probably Wal-mart, just because almost every city has 12 Wal-marts, so you shouldn't have to drive far.

The difference between the 60GB and 80 GB (besides the game that comes with the 80GB) is the larger hard drive (obviously), and the fact that the 80GB uses software to emulate PlayStation 2 games.

This basically means that while the 60GB version plays just about every PlayStation 2 game ever made, the 80GB version has a few games in the old PlayStation 2 library that it won't play. Both models play all PlayStation 1 games.

That's about it.

Answer 3

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. 40GB doesn't support SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc).
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.
