    Default Playstation 3 questions

    I noticed there are a few choices to go with when purchasing a playstation 3... Is there really a big difference in the 40GB, 60GB, and 80GB versions, except price?

    Is it really worth the extra money to get the higher GB's?

    I think that they did away with the 60GB option. If not, it still wouldn't be a great idea.

    The 80GB includes the software/harware to make it backwards compatable with PS2, so if you had a bunch of PS2 games it would be helpful.

    Otherwise, it's just got double the memory. I have the 40GB version. Since you can use USB memory drives with it, and I didn't have a PS2, I saved the money and got the 40GB.

    So if you don't have a playstion 2 or playstation 2 games, the 80GB isn't really worth the investment?

    Not sure if 40GB is still available but the others are for sure. Besides the obvious size difference, one plays olds PS1 games and the other plays PS2 games only, but neither play both formats, stupid and I'm not sure why but that's how it is...

    Also, the 80 is about $100 more than the 60 so I personally went with the 60GB since that's plenty of space for me...

    EDIT: oops NTL is right it was the 60 they did away with...so I have a 40GB

    It wasn't to me, but someone else might have a different opinion.

    It also depends on how many games you plan on getting. Newer games like Devil May Cry 4 have a harddrive install feature that can take like 2 gigs of memory (which gives the game little or no load times while playing), so take that into consideration.

    Ok, I went to Walmart yesterday and bought me a Playstation 3... gotta see what the hype is all about. Walmart had some deal where you get a $100 gift card with the purchase of the playstation so that was pretty cool.

    I only bought one game and it was a baseball game... I'm going back today and getting that Call of Duty 4 game everyone seems to like so much. I'm holding out on Madden and NCAA football till the new ones come out, which should be soon.

    Get warhawk too if you can. I like it better than COD4 myself, but they're both fun.

    I will check it out...thanks NTL. I'm more of the sport game type, but it is hard to pass up on all the excitement with this COD4
