40/80 GB - What to choose?

Hey guys~ I'm strongly considering getting a PS3.. Games like Valkyria Chronicles and MGS4 really caught my eye.

Since I plan on spending not much on a PS3 I want to ask you a question about the HDD Space.
40 GB is w/o a doubt the cheapest of all. I'd be getting that, but my only concern is, that it might not be enough x___x

I want to make full use of PSN and install like 4 to 6 games - will 40 GB be enough for me?

Get the 40GB, then upgrade the HDD.

Well you can get the 40GB and buy an bigger HDD later.

-Edit: Darn you guys, were too fast for me. :( -

Upgrading to a bigger hard drive is easy, cheap and does not void the warranty, as many people think.

I totally agree with the people above. Get the 40 and swap the HDD out immediately. I got 500 GB for about $100.

wow that's nice. thank you. Gotta find one for about 300€ at max x___x" (EU Region is still arsed ._.)

Also games are like 500MB to 1 and a half GB on the store so you should have enough space for quite a few games, it's the Game Data that boxed games install that take up most the space some using 3 or 4 GB. lame but you can delete it when your done playing the game.pauljames1986

What?! You're talking about a PS3 hard drive? I got my 500GB for $119.99.

There aren't any more 40 gb around. And if they are, they are prob stil lgoing at the $399 price tag...so not sure why you listed between 40/80 gb instead of the current 80/160 gb available?

Lol just found one for $90.

I'm happy.

the 40 gbs arent as relaible as the 80 gbs so if i were u i would save a bit more and get the 80 gbSolid_Tango

I don't see how the reliability would be any different in the two

The only difference is the smaller drive and less usb ports

That is not true either, every model has issues

Though they are not as widespread as people think
