I'm going to buy a PS3 sometime soon and i was wondering if anyone could recommend which model to get? I'm not really a big downloader so i won't be really downloading any movies or anything.

Basically to the play the games, use the blu-ray player and thats about it

i know i can get one of those big Hard drives to solve the space problem but whats a good UK site / retailer to purchase from that isn't to expensive for getting those big Hard Drives ^^?

thanks in advance

Um for you i would go with the slim, there really aren't many choices..mostly just the looks of the console is it.

Get the 40GB (GameStop Refurbished) one, it's $70 less... and good condition.

Dont listen to any one here. Get the slim 120GB PS3. And dont ever buy anything used, especially from Gamestop.

The slim will do everything for you if you don't plan on loading the HDD

gamestop doesn't refurbish hardware, they have no repair capabilities, they turn it on, clean it, and sell it. Any ps3 will be the same really, its more up to the looks, google the slim and the fat and pick whichever you prefer in looks. You can buy any laptop (2.5") hdd and get more memory, I have a western digital blue caviar 160 gig hdd in my 80gig model. I'd buy the lowest gig fat (if you like the style) then find a bigger hdd. Its an easy switch.
