I am currently interested in buying a PS3. However, thanks to teh Stupid double SKU crap, i have to make a choice. The only features i really care about on the 60GB model are the Hard drive space and the Chrome Trimming. I dont use Wi-Fi or memory sticks and my TV dosent support 1080p. Should I get the 20gb version or the 60gb if all I really want to do is play games and Movies. black_awpN1
Sony is making the choice easy for you. Its almost impossible to find a 20 gig now. So looks like your getting a 60 gig if you want one.crck
No, it is not impossible to find a 20GB, lol. I just got mine off of Ebay last week, and there are still plenty on there. Got a hell of a deal as well. $485.00 ($517.00 with insured shipping) for the 20GB console, 2 controllers and Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom. All in mint condition and everything works flawlessly.
I spent $80.00 more at newegg.com buying me a Toshiba 120GB SATA 5400rpm hard drive as well. So now I have a 120GB PS3 for still less than what a 60GB alone costs with tax.:wink: Not a bad deal at all considering that I do not want or need WIFI or card readers. Not to mention the fact that I like the all black look better than the chrome look anyway.
So, if you are like me, and do not want or need WIFI, card readers, and could care less about the chrome, then why not save yourself some money and just find yourself a good deal on a 20GB on Ebay from a trusted power seller, and just buy a larger hard drive if you want more room?

You should come and live in Ireland. We don't even get the option the 60gb is launched on March 23rd and the 20gb isn't available until later on in the year. Why?.........Apart from the obvious reason "$$ching, ching$$" I have no idea.

You will be lucky if you find a 20gb. I would say go with the 60gb, your already paying a large amount of money why not pay $100 more for features that cost more than $100?

Yes you are right. But when I said impossible to find I meant new and in stores. You can buy a SNES system off ebay but I wouldn't consider that system still in circulation either.I am currently interested in buying a PS3.

But then I bought the 60GB, and I found that it's better than the 20GB. You'll never know when you have to use the memory sticks slots and stuff and Wi-Fi too. If you have the money for 60GB, by all means, get it.

i got 60 for the wifi it works great and i can move it around the house and be connected! and 20g wont be enough i think. when you check the gigs you'll really only have 14gigs of the bat and the 60 says 47/55 of the bat. 60 all the way! it will be around for ten years dont forget!
