If its just that, then you're MORE THAN FINE. Unless if you plan on keeping like 60 demos on your PS3 along with a bunch of movies then maybe you'd start having a problem..

Well it depends how many games you are going to install and if you intall Linux. At one point I needed more, but I sold 25 games recently so its enough for me for now.

I find a decent price for the Sony Playstation 3 System Console w/ 80GB HD . It is only $339.

Well, 80GB really means 74GB, and with ~12 (I have 26 so it could be more) Blu Ray games installed, good lot of DLC, 4 PSN games, PS1 games, PS3 Demos, PSP games, game trailers and music, I have 34GB left.

I have 60GB, and after a year of games, demos and everything else, i think i'm still have 40 GB free, so 80 IMO is great, at least for a while, say, 3 or 4 years, maybe more.

It is good unless you plan on putting a lot of pictures/music/movies on there.

TC: if all you are going to use your ps3 for is retail games then 80 should do you fine depending on the amount of games you get. a lot of games are takeing 3 ,4 even 5+ gig installs these days so you'll need to do some math lol. for most people it should be enough. if in a few years you start needing to you can always deleat old game installs to make room. but with that said i still highly recommend getting a larger HDD.320+ gig HDD's can be had online for under100 bucks. there easy to install and dont void the warrenty. i recommend western digital my self. i have built a numberof PC's as have my friends and i can tell you that company puts out a high quility product. By putting in a large HDD you pretty much will neverhave to worry about space again. you can store tons of music, movies and PSN downloaded games. so IF you have the money even if you have to skip a game or two for a few months i would very much recommend the upgrade. And again if your going to bother upgrading do it right and get a big HDD. 250 gig would be ok but seeing as the price deffernce is kind of minor now i would go with a 320 even a 500 gig HDD. look on newegg.com or tigedirect.com. i got my 320 at newegg and could not be happierwith the choice.

80Gb is great, I put most of my CDs on my PS3 (WAV quality), lots of pictures, demos and some videos from the store so I had to delete lots of demos and put the videos on my computer but I still have more than enough. It all depends if you wanna keep more demos or not. I'm fine with deleting demos and downloading them again if I want to play them.
