Yeah I was shocked that they were still selling the 40 gigs but anyway they also have a little bigplanet bundle that is basicly like the R2 bundle. Anyway the 40 gigs is about 389.99 after doing some math plus tax(3.5%) it came to about 403.65 which is good because I can buy MGS 4 which I hear is pretty good, or 417.29 if (7.0% sales) which will still let me get MGS 4, sounds good right?

Well for about 100 dollers more I am getting a lot with the resistance bundle along with a 80 gig HDD I can't choose I don't need all those gigs really and I see the game installs are becoming more and more rare.

Anyway what do you guys think and also do any of you know about the warenty, I have heard to many things about drives failing, YLOD. I don't wanna take chance and my ps3 be one of those who want to die, its better to be safe than sorry. Thanks for all the help.

Resistance 2 bundle, Hands down, too much bang for buck in that one.

--------------------------------------------

R2 - 59.99

PS3 - 399.99

HDMI - 29.99

DS3 - 45.99

---------------------------------------------

The bundle only - 499.99

---------------------------------------------

You save about 35$ with the bundle.

Wow... those are horrible deals! I picked up a brand new 80GB PS3 at Walmart here in Canada for $360 taxes included (I got a deal because of my girlfriend), but even without the discount the PS3 was 399 plus tax... charging $389 plus tax for the 40GB is a rip off... and $500 for the bundle? Seems kinda steep, but oh well. The deal I got on my PS3 though is the best I think that I will see for a while.spencer_guitard

Get the 80gb bundle which includes resistance 2, extra dual shock controller, and the hdmi cable, resistance 2 is one of the greatest games, which is a 63$ value (tax included) the dual shock controller (50$ non tax included) and the hd cable must be around 10-20$ im not sure about that one.... youll have all you need except for mgs4... what is better from 40gb and 80gb? 80gb one can read your old PS2 games and it can play non-blu ray DVDs original or pirated (illegal in the us). get the 80gb bundle, and buy mgs4.... if u have any more money left get definitely Saints Row 2, Call of duty 4 or Call of duty WOW (depends if u like modern or ww1), and rainbow six vegas 2... thats all you need for non-stop fun experience. Saints Row 2 is best game ever men buy itMarioBugatti

If you are worried about something breaking then the best thing is to not buy it.  Things will break and while the chance for a PS3 is low, the chance is still not 0%.  The only thing you can do is preventative measures...and others can advise you on that.  But there is nothing you can do to prevent a manufacturer defect.

It's almost like being so worried about getting into an accident that you won't buy a car.  That's silly; but what you can do is learn how to drive safely and wear your seatbelt.  You still can't control everything...like whether or not everyone around you drives safely.
