I would go with the 80GB, mainly because the 40 does not have 1. a memory card reader (good for transfering data) and 2. backwards compatability with PS2 games. Even through you probably don't have any PS2 games coming from an Xbox, you might want to play some of the older titles. The Hard drive space is kind of a non issue because it is really easy to swap that for a bigger drive.lucidlyseen

I doubt the xbox was his first console,maybe he got the 260 after being screwed over my sony so much i know i did

Here's the deal.

40 gig: no PS2 BC, full PS1 BC, 40 gigs, no memory card reader, 2 usbs

80 gig: good PS2 BC, full PS1 BC, 80 gigs, memory card reader, I think 2 usbs not sure though

60 gig: perfect BC, 4 usbs

If you don't plan on using a ton of memory or need to have a PS3 capable of playing PS2 games, get the 40 gig. If you need PS2 BC, hunt down a 60 gig (good luck) or get the 80.

Enjoy your new system, it's rolling in games right now and you'll have a blast.
