Well if your attention span with those kinda games is the same as GLB I'd say don't waste your money. :up:

The Harddrive space is for downloading demos, movies, game updates, music, etc... Typical person probably won't need 80 GB.

As far as games, depends what your into.........

Action/Adventure - Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Metal Gear Solid 4, Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto 4

Online Shooter/Action - Warhawk, COD 4

Racing - Need for Speed, GT5 Prologue

Sports - NCAA Football, Madden, NHL, NBA

etc............

 

The 80 GB is only worth it if you get one with BC.

And you may want to look into the Sony Card, as you may be able to get $100+ off a PS3 that way.

EDit: NVM, looks like the sony card deal is dead, at least the $100 or $150 cash back is dead.

 

The new 80s are NOT BC

 

Before Christ? :confused2:










Backwards compatibility. :tongue2:

 

Backwards Compatibility - means it will play PS2 games as well.

:knucks: Its all good I'm just messing with you.

 

BC = Backwards Compatability - The ability to play PS2 games.

Note - All PS3s are PS1 BC

 

Yes, you could upgrade the HD to like 320 GBs yourself for close the same price of the 80GB ps3.

 

Hurry, because i think they discontinued the 40 now. Gonna go all 80 now... If my memory serves me right.

 

The new 80 gb will be the same price as what the 40 was though. Also, I think it is like 120 or 160 GB will be the new ps3.

 

80gb ps3

 

Cheapest PS3 w/a dual shock 3 that they have.

 

Right now, the only PS3 model you can buy brand-new is the 80 GB non-backwards compatible version. Decision made.

If you can wait, a 160 GB version bundled with the game Uncharted comes out in November. But you sound like you're about to burst, so I wouldn't recommend that.

320GB? Pfffffffft. You're thinking small. Try 500GB.

 

All PS3's have blu-ray drives.

 

I have an external terabyte that I am less than 1/10th through filling up, I don't need 500GB on my ps3, lol.

 

Sony usually prices the lower-capacity PS3 model at $400 and the higher-capacity at $500. When the 160GB PS3 comes out, it should be $500, while the 80GB model remains at its current $400.

All PS3s come with Blu-Ray. Again, the only differences between the various PS3 models are the size of the hard drives and backwards compatibility. It doesn't sound like you need backwards compatibility, so you might as well buy now. 80GB is the only model available at the moment. Go for it.

 

Google

 

You know, if I had a real speaker system (as opposed to the jury-rigged PC speakers I've got hooked up here...) I'd replace the PS3's hard drive, fill it up with music and movies, and use it as the centerpiece of an entertainment system. The movies alone would probably make 500GB seem small.

 

One thing to remember is that games do put stuff on your hard drive and it can be up to 5 gigs.

 

In addition to what's already been listed, check out Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Soul Calibur IV, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (buy it on the PlayStation Network Store), Unreal Tournament III, Grand Theft Auto IV, The Orange Box, F.E.A.R., and probably Warhawk.

Upcoming games to keep an eye on: SOCOM Confrontation, F.E.A.R. 2, Wip3out HD, Saints Row 2, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Fallout 3, Killzone 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Resident Evil 5, Infamous, and whatever Hideo Kojima does next.

 

Just to clarify guys... The current 80GB that is being shipped is NOT BC. Only the older discontinued 80's do BC.

PlayStation 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Why? You can have your ps3 stream music and movies from your PC without taking up PS3 HD space. :up:

 

He doesn't seem to need backwards compatibility, though.

 

Not true, there is a difference in USB ports, and other kind of memory connections.

 

I've never heard of the amount of USB ports changing between models. When did this happen?

 

it's true... the amount of USB ports and the SD card capability

 

I have a 40. It doesn't do BC. I'd LOVE for them to offer BC as a download or something. I wouldn't mind getting my PS2 out of there.

 

I got an 80 used, I love it. My ps2 had just bit the dust (wouldn't read anything), so I wanted BC. I have only player FFXII and GoW on the ps3 so far though.

 

darn it....no no no...get a 360! I dont have anyone to play Madden.....:pity:

 

I've been playing NFS: Most Wanted the last two days since finding out about the new NFS coming out in Nov. :lol:
