I'm trying to decide on wether i should buy a 40gb or 80gb ps3 but i can't decide. The 40 gb is less expensive and uses less power. I don't care about the backwards compatibility but the 40 gb does have 2 usb ports instead of 4. I don't if would need4 usb ports witch is why Iwould like to know what you use your usb ports for.

I'd opt for more usb ports if I were you.

I typically charge my controller, blue tooth headset and phone. . .That's three right there. You will use them up quick. Forgot about the ipod too!

USB is really important, they are used to charge the controllers and set them in the beginning, Keyboard, mouse, headset, PSP, IPOD, camera, New Eye toy, Rockband, and a bunch of other stuff all require them.
