So I will have around 500 dollars for a PS3 and some games for it.

1. Are there any bundles or any good sales coming up?

2. I only want the PS3 for exclusives,a few arcade games, and download some PS1 games. So I was wondering what size HD would I need? And about how much space does each PS3 game take up and I believe there was a mandatory install for PS3 games?

3. How many people use their headsets in Multiplayer games?

Any other help would be appreciated.

1. Doubt it

2. 120gb would be enough.

3. Very few (depends on what game)

i guess i might as well hop in with my questions, instead of creating a new thread. how much longer do you think ps3 will last? i know it's open to conjectures, but what's your take? will it last another good 3 - 5 years with at least dozens more AAA releases?

not that i know of check some websites like best buy or someother electronic store

120 should be fine but you can also pick up a 500 gig harddrive from best buy and the memory depends

3. How many people use their headsets in Multiplayer games?
depends on what game your playing

Any other help would be appreciated.

1、Don't know.

2、120G is totally enough,it's not gonna like 360...U would need to install game into hd much...Because most of PS3 game don't support a installation.If you r getting some PS1 game on PSN 120G is enough for so much DLC...

3\Some people play with a headsets...but it won't be useful if not playing with someone that you r familiar.

1. Probably not.

2. Get the 120 Gig and if you run out of room buy a 500 gig drive for $75 Link

Mandatory installs are GREAT!!!! Seriously, anyone complaining about this is stupid. Some games like MGS4 has a 5gig install but that's the most you'll see. Play Killzone 2 and you'll see why installs are a positive and also why the 360 now allows game installs to the harddrive. Seriously, unless you plan on playing a couple dozen PS3 titles at a time space is not an issue. You can delete install data and still retain your saves and DLC.

3. Depends on the game, I use my headset all the time and I have met alot of cool people, again people complaining about this are upset because they are paying to hear nonsense while playing games. You'll see what I mean when you get your PS3.

Screw the bundles and buy games! You have a lot of catching up to do, especially by the time the month of May hits. Trust me.. all you need is the basic PS3 Slim 120GB. Anything else, just buy it later. Oh, maybe a headset if you are one of those people that must communicate. hehe

Headsets are never really used all that much -- I mean the only time I use mine is with Tom Clancy's Endwar and that's single player :P
