The 120GB and the 250GB are the same I believe except for the larger hard drive. I would get one of those. You have a PS3 already, you should know how much space you're going to need.
wat u mean u know when it will die soon, i have 2 60gb from launch and a slim, and i toook very very good care of them since then and they are still running like champs. unless u mistreated and abused it the reasons u think its dyin then go for the 120gb, but unless ur 60gb is fine and take better care of it clean it and vacum it once a week for dust then u should be fine, the 60gb is the best ps3 model out there. and unless u want another ps3 to add in ur house again go for the 120gb u can always buy a bigger hdd for cheap and install it
P.S theres no difference between the 250 and the 120gb except for bigger hdd
Taking good care of your 60g has nothing to do with how long it will live. JKnaperek
yea it does, i mean yea all electronics die eventually, everythin breaks down. but if u take good care of it its lifespan is longer than the ones who dont take care of it
Go sell your 60gb PS3 now before it YLODs on you. You can already sense something bad is going to happen. Lots of people are willing to buy it for its backwards compatibility. Then just go buy a Slim PS3 and upgrade it to a 500gb HDD.

Yep, it doesn't make much difference either way but a slim will last longer due to it being newer andany model can have a HD upgrade as mentioned.
Get the PS3 slim and it depends on how much space you need, but you can just replace your hard drive with a bigger hard drive that can store more date like the Seagate 500GB SATA 2.5" Hard drive with a $100 a piece and these are regular hard drives for laptops. Click on PS3 at the top of the Gamespot page and go to Getting Started with PS3 and go to Hard drive and Accessories. Hope I helped.
Who told you the slim has a problem with its fan!? That's absurd and false.
If anything - it's better than the older one's fan! It's very quiet and mine has NEVER overheated and I play for HOURS sometimes.
Get the slim. Its hardware is new and improved.

My slim's fan stays on about 90% of the time, so I don't know what's wrong with it. It also froze about 4 times(3 of which I can understand, since I was using the browser), and restarted 2 times on two different games because the game itself froze, but the system was running fine.
I've read about a good amount of Slim freezing, also. I'm in the same boat, have a 60GB, would like a spare in case something happens, also would like to use the Slim for blu-ray movies and such to take the strain off the 60GB.
