I just went to the Best buy webs site and i could not find a 80GB PS3, is that because they stoped making them? What happend to it? Do you still get all the same things in the 40GB PS3 beside the memory?

You can't play PS2 games on the 40GB PS3. The 80GB is hard to find but there are still some around. They'll be coming back in June with the MGS4 bundle.

40 gb has no Backwards compatibility for PS2 games. And 80gb is hard to find these days so wait until the MGS 80gb Bundle comes out i guess.

If you call around (BB/FS),, youre bound to find one,,, most stores have a lot more consoles at the back then what they put out

80 = 4 usb outlets, 40more gig (obviously), able to play ps2 games and they come with the very mediocre Motorstorm game

40 = 2 usb outlets, 40 less gig, NOT able to play ps2 games and they come with no games or movies (some stores have promotions, FS in canada is giving GT5P for free with 40gb purchase)

both come with one controller (not dual shock, the regular sixaxis)

You can purchase the 80gb Ps3 starting June 12. It will come packaged with the game Metal Gear Solid 4 and the DualShock3 controller instead of the sixaxis.

This makes me so glad I got the 60 gig at the first of last year and just enjoyed the system from that time. Really if you can find a good used or refurb. 60 gig then that would be the best of all the SKU's sold. If you find a new 60 gig on the internet for sale now there going for more than they did at release (last one I saw was a little over $700.00 on Ebay). Or you can check other retailers other than BB (last year after trying several retailers around here I found my PS3 at a local K-Mart) and the thing is you can purchase a extended warranty through them that's Sears, this is because K-Mart is now owned by Sears.
