Ok, I'm looking into getting a ps3 but i'm unsure which model I should get. I'm probably only going to be doing gaming, none of the extra stuff. I'll do mostly offline gaming, and possible a little bit of online gaming. The 40GB model has a pretty tempting price, especially if I make some trade-ins. Is it worth it? should I go with a bigger model? Pleas Help!

since you dont plan on installing linux-get the slim. Best bang for your buck. If not that then go for the latest 80gb model-I would not suggest the 40GB before you know it you will be out of space.

DO NOT get the 40GB. You WILL run out of space.

Some games have to install to hard drive taking about 4GB. 10 games x 4GB = 40GB. Besides, with a 40GB you only have about 32GB actual space.

I say go for the 120GB Slim.

Besides, the 40GB is 229.99. The 120GB Slim is 299.99. More reliable, much larger hard drive, sleeker, overall a much better buy.

hmmm this is what i thought too flowman, before i got my ps3 i thought i would only be gaming on it. and mostly offline. totally opposite now.. i watch movies, browse web(lol), listen to music and chat with people more than i play games. and when i do play games, its mostly online. ALSO i have a 40gb version and tbh its just too little. if I didnt delete all my game installs it would easily be full. bioshock, mgs4, haze, resistance, gta4 etc all have over 3.5gb installs.

With a 40 GB you will be in trouble if you ever want to do something besides offline singple player games and even then it's little.

Get a slim, most people discover how great the other futures are after buying it. Watch movies, download game demo's, music etc.

Does anybody know which place offers the best deals? I mean I know they are all the same price, but like if you trade in something or if there is a good bundle out there?
