I have a dilemma kind of......

I know I get on these boards and hate when people ask "Convince me to buy this console" or "What game should I get?" but I am committing the crime this time.

I read in IGN a couple months ago that the PS3 will begin phasing out the 20GB model. Now I am currently in school, I just got a credit card with a good limit and I plan on working full time this summer. So with all of this in mind I wanted to get your opinions on if I should get this machine based on my circumstances. In no way do I want to get the 60 GB model, I have a 360 and I never used media content or purchase it.

The biggest reason I am drawn to the PS3 is because I got my copy of Game Informer today and in it they previewed the home feature and the LittleBigPlanet thing and it looks so awesome.

Sorry if I am wasting space, I don't know anyone with a PS3 so I came on here to ask. 

Well if you plan to get a full time job then I don't see the problem. I bought the PS3 from saving up from my job, and I don't regret it one bit. Flame_Blade88

Ditto.

It's a pretty reliable system, and the games coming out by the end of the year look to impress. It's a good time to be a gamer. 

Like everyone has already noted, if you are getting a job, acquiring the 60GB model should be no problem.

The jump from $500 to $600 is not large if you're going to be spending that much anyway. (I'm assuming you're getting a game with the purchase as well which means you won't be walking out of the store spending any less than $560 anyway)
