Tips on which PS3 to get?

So, basically there's a lot of PS3 exclusives I wanna play...and I do want a bluray player. Not really sure which PS3 to get. I have a 250gb hdd for my 360..and I will probably not download as much stuff to my PS3 as I do with my Xbox...but who knows.

Lowest though I'd probably go with is the 60gb for the PS3, not to mention I heard you can buy a 3rd party HDD anyway to use for my PS3? So what should I get? I plan on buying one online..maybe used, as long as it's still working great, and really not wanting to spend more than $200. I saw some 80gb ones for $200 on EBay. Aren't those the ones that are backwards compatible to PS2 games?

Anyway, if the Slim is worth saving up money for, I'd consider doing that for sure..but it'd be a while I believe. If the older ones are pretty reliable then I'd be fine with getting any of the 60, 80 and 120 gb ones..

thanks in advance..

Follow my advice to be safe:

1) Never buy a USED console

2) You should get a 120GB Ps3 as I'm sure you will be downloading plenty of stuff you can find on Playstation Store. demos etc.....

3) If I'm not wrong you can get a new Ps3 120gb for maybe $200 orslightlyin US. Not sure as I'm not from US.

Have a nice day!:)

Don't get used, go for a slim model.

I agree. Don't buy used. Too many people have had issues with used or refurbished Playstations. I would go with 120g.

get a slim 120gb im having so much trouble with my 60gb and all the crap replacements sony have sent me im jus gonna buy a brand new one

never buy used

My 80GB was running smoothly then I hit a LONG home run in The Show and BOOM: Yellow Light ... I now have a 240GB Slim and it's great (so far) I think you should get the 120 GB Slim and AVOID used consoles altogether

So you are thinking about buy a "used PS3 that got the YLOD or just buggy and is fixed temporarily" from ebay? Save some more money and buy yourself a new PS3 with its warranty. Get the newest slim with the new more energy efficient chip.

i've got an origonal 60 GB AUS spec ps3 that i bought when the ps3 was first launched nearly 4 years ago now, i don't see buying a used one as being a big issue, if you can get one on E-bay for cheap, over here we still pay top dollor ($500) for a slim PS3 so i'd simply be buying a used origonal.

At least in Canada, Wal-Mart has the 2101B 250g PS3 bundled with BioShock 2 and UFC 2010 for $350.00 - not a bad option if you're still looking.
