I have decided to buy a brand new PS3 for my 26" LCD Samsung T260 monitor. I plan to buy one tomorrow (Friday, May 1st), but I don't know which one is the best to buy. 160gb or 80 gb. I am a movie buff, so I more likely to watch blu ray movies a bit more than playing a game. I am not a freak who plays the game 24/7. I only like fighting game, sports and first person shooting. RE5 may be ok for me.

Congrats on your NEW ps3. Buy the 80GB. The 160gb does the same thing that the 80gb does. It just has more memory. Which is $100 more. You'll get more memory for less if you go to ebay search for a 250gb harddisk(when you buy the 80gb) which will cost you $54 (if you want more memory) and some of them with free shipping. Hope that helps. Some good games to get is MLB 08 or 09 the show, NBA 2k9, and Madden09.

Does that include sticky stains or something? Anyway, I prefer to buy a brand new from a department store since I'll return the product if it has faulty.

No, refurbished from the factory basically means brand new.
