You can still play online with a 20GB, just not with WiFi. Plus you should know that as soon as you set up your PS3, you'll automatically start with 15GB. The configuration takes up 5GB automatically, so personally, the 60 GB or should I say 55 GB PS3 is much more worth it.Flame_Blade88

you will still be able to get online via a ethernet cord. as far as differences, the wifi is a matter of convieniance, the memory card slots make loading pictures much easier, and 20gb is fine if you dont plan on putting anything but game saves on it.bruce-leroy

your little penguin guy in your sig got my ip adress wrong, everything else was right though.

Even though I own and adore a 360, I am still very interested in getting a PS3 soon. However, I just had some quick questions, and figured this would be the best place to ask: other than the hard-drive capacity, is there any more difference between the $499 version and the $599 version. I looked at the differences, and the only thing that caught my eye was the Wi-Fi, however, I'm not sure what that is. Without Wi-Fi, will I not be able to play online? I also don't feel that the 20GB hard-drive will be a problem for me because the 360's hard-drive has been holding up just great for me. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.NextGen86

And remember you can always upgrade the Hard Drive! for like a 100 bucks you can get a 250 GB HHD :DCharlie2688

What about the HDMI things? I've heard that the $499 version doesn't allow you to get the most out of your HD TV. Can anyone clear this up as well for me?NextGen86

Okay before anyone provides anymore false or incorrect information I will try and answer all of your questions in my single post.

The difference between the 60GB and 20GB versions are as follows (Things listed below are what the 60GB has over the 20GB):

1. Chrome Trim

2. Wifi (Wireless Connectivity Built in)

3. Memory Card  Readers

4. 40GB

You are able to upgrade the HDD of the PS3, I currently am using a 160GB HDD.

The available space on a 20GB PS3 starts at 18GB not 15GB.

Both versions of the PS3 have HDMI, both have a hardwire connection for internet connectivity, both have 4 USB slots in the front, thus allowing you to connect card readers without having them built in. You can also connect an external HDD, it must be formatted for FAT32. Both version have an optical output, and both have a multi-AV output if you choose to use component cables.

Thanks all for answering...so basically all that I'm dealing with is a smaller hard-drive and the wi-fi connectivity as the main differences, or is there anything else I should know about?NextGen86

So let me ask this question now to everyone it applies to- Why did you choose a 60gb over a 20gb?NextGen86

I got it for the WiFi, chrome trim, and memory. I've already taken up 15 GB of space.
