Do most people have no idea about the differences from the 20 to 60 gig systems.  Some guy comes on here and says you cant get the premium gaming expirience without  a 60gig unit.  Give me a break dude.  20 gig looks better without that cheesy chrome trim anywyas.  So big deal you dont get wifi memory stick slots and a bigger HDD.  For the extra $100 you can upgrade the HDD, wifi isnt as good of a connection as a hard connection anyways plus if you dont got a psp like me why do you really need the memory stick slots?  Bottom line dont cut down the 20 gig model it is just as good as the 60 with a few less options which are not that important anyways pending your use for the system.

I fully understand that for some people, the perks that the 60 gig unit has over the 20 are minimal, but you need to understand, that anyone that says you cannot get a "premium" experience with the 20gig version, is completely correct.  That's not saying you cannot get a good experience or even a worthy and fullfilling experience, but premium is of the meaning of "The Best" and any way you want to slice it, the 60 gig version is a far better system. 

  To have enough space on your HDD to truly enjoy full HD downloads of movies, trailers and all that, you need the 60 gig version, 20 is gone in no time, atleast it is on my 360, I never even considered the 20gig PS3.  20 may be enough for some, maybe most even, but if I had to delete things to make room, and constantly manage how much content I could download, it would deter from my experience, so 60 is a must. 

   I have a PSP, but even if I didn't, I like the idea of having the card slots, I can stick in cards off a digital camera, and view pictures, and all kinds of things.  With the PSP, it really enhances my experience with the system. 

   The Wifi is maybe not important to you, and I accept that it may not be the best choice for many, but again if your in an area that has stable speed, Wifi is a very cool and handy option to have.  I have used it many times at home and at other peoples houses, and it's again without question a nice option. 

   The bottom line is, that for 100 bucks more, you cannot question the value that he premium unit offers, there is no debating that it's a better system, yes it depends on how well you can take advantage of the things it offers, but you cannot blame people that can take advantage of it for knocking the 20 gig unit which offers none of that stuff. 

    I can understand you being angry because you bought the cheaper unit and people never want thier stuff trash talked, and it serves your needs, but you need to suck it up and accept that the trash talking about the 20 gig over the 60 gig is pretty much deserved.

Well WHile you may not need the 60GBs...It helps overall for multimedia. Much less of a hassle with Wi-Fi. Its better with Card Readers for music, photos, etc. The Bigger HDD for downlaods, etc.

I've never had the need for big Hard disks the 20gig drive in my 360 so far has been fine. I own a PSP but probably wouldn't use the PS3 feature. The wifi is pretty cool for eliminating yet another wire and setting the system up away from your router/modem but to be honest I'm sortof leaning toward the cheap version due to lack of funds. I still get bluray right? haha yet another feature I don't absolutely need.

I got my system 2 weeks after launch. After calling stores daily i finally found a system. I wanted a 60 gig system but all they had was 1 20gig unit so i settled for it. I am not upset with my decision at all. Im sure eventaully i will upgrade my hard drive but i mean the overall gameplay and graphics are obviously identical so to me that is good enough. Everything that the 60gig system has can pretty much be up graded to fit the specs of the 60 gig unit if you have a 20 gig system. Anyways i have vented enough about this topic. And in my opinion for a person like me who is not a "Game Nerd" 20 gig system more than fits the bill for me. Peace all happy gaming to whatever system you have they are both great systems none the less.

The people that really cut down the 20 gig are stupid spoiled kids who paid $0 for it.  Yes $100 extra is nothing when mommy and daddy buy it.  So to feel special or superior they make fun of the cheaper model.  I got the 60 gig but I got love for the 20 gig.  Just couldn't find one.....  Hell if I can save $100 of my hard earned money why not?  Extra hd space is nice but honestly unless you want to keep everything you DL who cares.  USB memory card readers can be bought for $5 after rebate.  Wifi is nice if you need it which I dont but may in the future.  But you just have to remember this forum and website is over run by stupid kids.  Many of whom act like they know everything but know just about nothing.  Don't take them or this forum too seriously.

Pure garbage! What do you mean you cannot get the same experience with the 20gig version? Like the guy said not everyone wants wifi (I sure don't) and not all of us have or even want a PSP so saving $100 and getting the 20gig model is a better choice. Who the hell needs a card reader?

the only thing i find appealing about the 60g model is the wifi.
yes, its better to use a hard connection but you have to remember the PSPs connection with the PS3.
It only works if you buy the wifi enabled model.

While this might not mean anything yet, I see massive potential when you can play movies, games, and music from your PS3 to the PSP anywhere around the world.  There are even talks of PS3 games being played on your PSP using the screen.  So that means the PSP shows you a video of what you are playing on your PS3 wirelessly all in realtime without being HOME!!!!!!!!!!!! 

i don't have a PSP yet, but once the PS3 firmware update allows that function, ill be getting one asap.

20g is the way to go if you want to play the PS3.
60 g is the way to go if you have the extra cash.  (most people dont and that is OK)

i'd rather go with a 20gig myself. i had set up my home theatre with my wireless router on it, so my computers run wireless but my 360 and any other gaming system i purchase could be wired right in. that's the way i'd always want it - makes sure i have a fast and steady connnection no matter where i'm located. don't get me wrong, i understand how wifi is necessary for some people, but to tell others you need it and they aren't having the premium experiance is stupid and hilarious. "the 20 gig won't give u the ultimate experience of wifi, where you're connection speed changes drastically, might have trouble finding your network, or where you have to reset your router and ps3 all together." and yes, it's stupid to call people cheap if they don't want to spend an extra $100. if the extra features mean nothing to them, why would they want to spend the price of an extra controller and a game for something they'll never use? not to mention some of us need HDMI cables. if i go out and buy a ps3 tomorrow, i'd have to spend $600 on the system, $50 on the controller, $120 on 2 games, and we'll say $60 for a somewhat descent HDMI cable. that's $830 before tax. you mean to tell me i'm cheap if i'd like to knock that down $100 and find a 20 gig system? if you say yes, then clearly you're a spoiled kid who's parents buy you everything.

I'm totally with you there! I think that 20gb is way sufficient when you're not that big of a gamer or a multimedia buff. Also, a hard internet connection is more stable and faster than wifi.

I miss the time when videogame consoles were actually made for gaming, I mean ONLY gaming.

They generally don't know what the hell they're talking about. They like to akin the 20gig & 60gig to MS core & premium packages and sine the core 360 was pretty much a shaft, they assume it's got to be the same with the PS3.

They fail to realise that the 20gig version was intended to be matched with the premium 360 and the 60gig was to be considered an "extra features" package. You can still get almost very thing the 60gig version has added on to the 20gig if you choose to but the good thing is you can choose which feature you'd like to upgrade. If you bought every feature for the 20gig that the 60gig has, it will cost you more than the 60gig but hey, the point is you can add the features you want if you want.

Xbots like to say Sony doesn't give choice but their logic is always mared it seems. I've realised that most of the population of people are just very ignorant and like it that way. :(  I think xbots are so used to being shafted by MS that they think that's how it should be or something.

Such an intelligent post. The Core Xbox was marketed for those that do not have an internet connection or has no interest in online gaming. There are people in many countries that do not have access to broadband so paying for the Xbox premium would be a waste. Just like there are millions of people worldwide that do not have or cannot afford an HDTV so the Ps3 would be a waste. I also don't see your reasoning in bringing up the Xbox in this thread.

And you can transfer stuff between the ps3 and the psp with a usb cable.

that crome trim is not cheesy it makes it look better but i got the 500 version in stead because the memory things are useless to me. i like the 500 dollar one because it does me justice for my gaming and movie needs. i did almost spend another 100 for just the crome alone but decided to get the 500 one instead. happy here.

I think both systems are awesome. I ended up getting the 60 gig because I have my main internet set up downstairs in my office and I have a wireless router upstairs for my personal computer. So I needed the Wifi and it works great. If I had the internet up here I would of happily bought the 20 gig instead of spending 100 dollars more.

I use the Wifi, use the memory slot too and have more than 20gig on hard drive with even more content on an external HDD. I'm happy with the 100$ I paid more to get the premium but I understand not everyone need it.

Dude, Internet connection is not the only thing screwed about the 360 core and you know it. If it was such a great bargain then how come you don't see it manufactured any more. There maybe countries that don't have access to broadband much but chances are that if you bought a gaming device from those countries you most likely have the money, knowledge for Internet and access to it's usage. However, the core 360 wasn't just sold in Outer Mongolia, it was also marketed and sold in NA, Japan and EU were Internet connection is virtually a must have. And just because you don't have access to the Internet and don't play online doesn't mean you've got to settle for outdated stuff like wired controllers and no HDD space for your games.

Also, not having a HDtv for a PS3 is not a waste as PS3 games look great and better than anything else on any SDtv. As you point out, not everyone in other countries may have the funds or need for such things as Internet, HD viewing  and the like. You don't need an HDtv to play a PS3. Lastly, I brought up the comparison of the consoles to point out why I feel people have the thought patterns they seem to have in regards to the topic at hand.

I still don't get your point. That is why it is called a choice. If they didn't have the money for the premium they could get the core then get a hard drive eventually unlike the PS3 20 gig where you cannot upgrade to get the card slots or wifi. yes not havign an HDTV with the PS3 is a waste because the only reason it cost so much is becuase it is a Blu ray player. Not having an HDTV means you just spent $600 on something you can only use for games hence not  being  able to use it's full potential.

I have a 20GB PS3 and am loving it! I didn't need the extra features of the 60GB other than the HDD space... and the PS3's HDD is interchangeable. Plus... I like the black disc loader face vs the chrome.

Too many people say that the 20gig version sucks, when they are basically the same. The real difference is the Wi-Fi and the hard-drive, the other differences are useless. But, not everyone needs Wi-Fi and 60gb will be too much for most people. I have 40gb in my PC, so I think 20gb will be enough for my PS3. I don't need Wi-Fi either. Why would I pay for something I don't need?

I still don't get your point. That is why it is called a choice. If they didn't have the money for the premium they could get the core then get a hard drive eventually unlike the PS3 20 gig where you cannot upgrade to get the card slots or wifi. yes not havign an HDTV with the PS3 is a waste because the only reason it cost so much is becuase it is a Blu ray player. Not having an HDTV means you just spent $600 on something you can only use for games hence not being able to use it's full potential.

Wrong. You CAN get the card slots with a USB adaptor for PC and I'm pretty sure a Wi-Fi adaptor for PC could also work on the PS3, like most other devices.

 I have not heard of any 3rd party wifi adaptors working but I am sure they exist. I doubt you will be able to use the psp connectivity with it though so it's not a full upgrade. You had ot compare it to the xbox core like they are related in some way.

First of all MS is not giving choice really, they're giving false choice. Secondly, you can't upgrade the core box like you can the 20gig PS3 in regards to a HDD and, you can upgrade the Wifi and card slots on the 20gig. I guess you don't really know what you're talking about or just trying to get a raise from people like me.

Thirdly, if you don't have an HDtv the PS3 is only $100 more than the box and  offers games to be developed on next gen DVD discs (Blu-ray) which in turn will give developers the chance to create incredible gaming experiences for gamers weather you play on HDtvs or SDtvs instead of past gen technology in DVDs like the box does.

At the end of the day if you can pay $399 for a gaming system then paying $499 is not a big deal seeing as you're get a better product that's future proof (cause I doubt anyone will be watching SDtvs 3years from now when HDtvs would cost the same or less than SDtvs and be the norm) and online is free instead of $250 for five years. Plus you get a Blu-ray player that if you wanted to 'add on' on a box you would actually be paying $100 more than the PS3. Ok I see you're just content on trolling so I'll just let you be and let the some of the PS3 forums troll slayers have their way with your ass.  :)

What's my other account? You are the troll for bringing up the xbox in a thread about ps3 20 gig. Like i said before the 20 gig is a good choice for those that do not need wifi or own a psp.

I think both versions have their own advantages/disadvantages. I can see how all the bells and whistles may come in handy, but for actualy GAMING they are not needed. I have a 60 gig myself, but that is mostly because there were no 20s close to my home. So instead of using 100 extra bucks on gas, I just got the 60. However, if the 20 had been around, I would have gotten that one in a heartbeat. I would have been satisfied either way.

He's right. Blu-Ray is not just used for sharper textures in games. It can be used for more voice overs, multiple language options and bigger games. There's many 2 discs games on PS2, so thinking that games will still fit on a single DVD in 2010 is pretty much dreaming. And HD-TVs are getting more and more popular. Before, few channels offered HD content, so HDTVs weren't very popular since they weren't useful. But now, most popular channels offer HD content and so does consoles. Sales go up, price goes down. In the near future, most households will have one HDTV. If I buy a console now, I don't want it to be outdated in 3 years.

 The two versions of the PS3 do not have any influences on the games, while no harddrive and wired controllers do, IMO. THAT's choice.

Heck, the 20 gig has a cult following now because the things so limited. I got a psp, wifi, and lots of music to put on the ps3 but i got the 20 gig instead. Why? Wifi is always 2/3'rds slower at my place. I can connect the psp up by usb and the hard drive can be upgraded to 160gigs with that extra 100$. Take that measily 100 gigs smaller hard drive!

Well, you can get whichever kind you want even if people diss it, okay?  It doesn't matter what some other people may think is the better kind.  Besides, I heard the 20 GB one was being discontinnued anyways so, yeah.

PS2 had a problem with dual layer that's why most games were on multiple single layer disks. The early Ps2 models didn't have dual layer support or had a problem with playing dual layer disc. There were actually very few games on DVD9 for the PS2.

Do most people have no idea about the differences from the 20 to 60 gig systems. Some guy comes on here and says you cant get the premium gaming expirience without a 60gig unit. Give me a break dude. 20 gig looks better without that cheesy chrome trim anywyas. So big deal you dont get wifi memory stick slots and a bigger HDD. For the extra $100 you can upgrade the HDD, wifi isnt as good of a connection as a hard connection anyways plus if you dont got a psp like me why do you really need the memory stick slots? Bottom line dont cut down the 20 gig model it is just as good as the 60 with a few less options which are not that important anyways pending your use for the system. abberz8383
The rpoblem a lot of people have is if your going to spend that much money on a system you might as well go the extra mile to get it all. The 20gig system isn't bad, but as many as stated before, the extra $100 goes a long way. The Wifi itself is worth that. You cn still have the full effect with the 20gig, but if someone could afford the extra money and get the 60gig then they should. Gamers game......Fanboys Pick Sides..........

People keep repeating the same thing over and over. What if you do not have wifi or you prefer your console connected wired since your router is right there?

correction my friend, WiFi is a plus!!! just figured out i didn't have to pay for another bridge and crap, the PS3 just picked up the signal and I am playin multiplayer online with ease...so don't bash the WiFi,...as far as everything else, you are right, you do get the same gaming experience, but i feel a few of us on here can agree that having WiFi was one of the key feautures...

YOUTUBE NEVER LOOKED ANY BETTER...LOL

Anyone saying that you won't get premium experience with a 20GB PS3 is just plain wrong....still we all have our preferences. I have a 20GB and I used the extra $100 to get a 120GB harddrive, now I have twice the capacity of the 60gb version. Second of all, and this is just for me, I still believe that photos (majority of them anyway) should still stay on the PC, 'cause most of the time you want to edit them....that's what I do and the good ones I then transfer to my PS3. Transferring media really isn't a problem with the 20GB, a simple Flashdrive would suffice, just download the content from your PC to your Flashdrive and then plug it in your PS3 USB and you're done, music, movies and all. Wireless? hhhmmm never really bothered me with that one, I still prefer ethernet on that one 'cause I hate losing signals. I'm not sure if this true but I thought I read somewhere that you can purchase those usb wireless cards and you can connect to your provider that way. Still in the end, the PS3 (whether it is 20GB or 60GB) is still what we love and bought it for, a machine that gives us great gaming experience.

i like the 20gb version better. I'll probably get that one when i scrounge up enough money for a ps3. and the best part is that the hard drive is serial ata. So i can upgrade it very easily with a standard hard drive instead of a proprietary hard drive.
