Should i buy a PS3 now or ...

should i wait because i heard that they're coming with a new 80gb ps3 with the same price as the current 40 gb. When is that coming out and what else would it be different from the 40gb or should i just buy the 40 gb?!

looks like i'm going to wait thenLabinoti

i havnt heard of the new 80gig or w.e

but id recommend u either buy it NOW or wait until autumn (oct, nov)

good luck

IM NOT SURE WHEN BUT ITS BETTER IF YOU WAIT. THE 80G HAS PS1 PS2 CAPABILITIES ANS 40 DOESNT. ULL GET MORE SPACE FOR THE SAME PRICE.. TRY TO WAIT IF YOU CAN . I THINK ITL BE OUT LIKE IN 2 MONTH OR LESS.. BTW CHECK OUT MY POSTING ABOUT FFVIIchico12

The new 80gb will feature the exact same hardware as the current 40gb except the hdd, so it wont have backwards compatibility with ps2 games.

The 80gb ps3 is going to be released during the month of september also it's going to have PS1 and PS2 capabilities retail price is $399.99.

It really doesn't matter because it's not that expensive to replace the internal HDD with a 320 gig HDD, without voiding the warranty. Then you could have a 750 gig external HDD connected to the system. With both of these options then you would have a total of a Terabyte of HDD space.

Note: The 320 gig HDD isn't that expensive.

save up now because by the time you have enough money years will pass by

so go for the 40gb by the time you have 400 dollars the 80gb core will be out

I would just wait. It is the year 2008 going into 09. The PS2 is pretty much done. It had it's day, time to move on. I could understand if you wanted to still play 1 or 2 of your most treasured games from that period, but you should be looking at what the new games have to offer. If you can't find a cool PS3 game by at least the beginning of 09, then don't get a PS3.

I am not saying you are, but there are way too many complaints about backward compatibility. Yes Sony started it, but who cares about last gen games after the first year of the new system. When PS2 first came out, yes I still played some PS1 games on it for a bit. After fall of 2001, I didn't hardly ever touch PS1 games.

Wrong.

The upcoming 80GB model has only 2 USB ports, no SD reader, no flash card reader, no PS2 compatibility at all.

So, TC if u wanna spend 40 more bucks on it, get the MGS4 bundle.

The new 80gb will feature the exact same hardware as the current 40gb except the hdd, so it wont have backwards compatibility with ps2 games.

is it because of the hardware or the softwares ?? i am thinking that its the softwares !

" Should I buy a playstation 3 right now or wait for the 80gig tats coming out on September? Btw am very impatient."

two topics at the same time concerning the same thing.. (not including the countless ones created before..) just go check the topics posted and answered before..

when my 40gb ps3s blu ray drive stopped working I called sony up and they asked me which model I had, and I said I think the 60gb one, so they sent me a 60gb one. KingNabster
