Used 60GB or new 80GB?

There are currently used 60 GB PS3's available at my local Gamestop for $430. I would like to get one with BC and since none of the newer models are PS2 capable, I would probably need an older model. However, I am a little wary of buying a used system. I like to purchase my systems new. Does anybody have any experiences with purchasing used systems at Gamestop. Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated.

get the 80 i think it has the new chips like the 40gb model which means it'll run cooler.

i have a 40 and i can tell the air flow in it is different from the 60, not sure if its a good or bad thing.  the 40 has intake from the front and the side and outputs heat from theback.  the 60gb model outputs heat from the back and the side and only intakes from the front vents.  dont know what this means but im just saying.

How about this? 80GB ps3 for $400 with $100 gift card at Walmart. Its 4 per store though so that would mean waiting at 2am for it. Your choice.

Get the 60GB. It's the best model of them all. It has FULL BC(Emotion Engine)null_is_zero

I have yet to play a ps2 game on my ps3. Plus once the PSP2 comes out it will come with ps2 emulation. Then you just hack it and convert your ps2 games onto it.
