Not sure if this is 100% but I heard if you buy the 40gig from sonystyle.com with their credit card(you have to sign up for it) its $299, if your in the interest of saving money thats the only way to go

If you don't need BC then go for the 40 gig and couple of games. Ratchet and Resistance perhaps. 40 gigs is more than enough unless you are looking to do some hardcore downloading. If so go for the 80 but truth be told the 40 is more than good enough.

buy a 40 gig and upgrade the hard drive to a 250gb hard drive using gamespot's guide. the drive itself should only cost around $80. Sony charging $100 for 20gb increments...ridiculous....... or you could just screw ps3's altogether and get a 360. most games are going to be coded for 360 hardware anyway, so the ps3 wont even get to use all that power for muti-platform games.  the ps3 isnt going to be anything great (even the president of valve said "the ps3 is just a waste of money and time")  besides, seeing as how the 360 is the best selling console on the market followed by the Wii and the ps3 in last place (the ps3 is getting it's A$$ kicked bythe WII!!! how bad does a console have to suck to be beaten by such a novelty?) so do yourself (and Sony, by putting it out of it's misery) a favor and get a 360. no, I'm not a console player. i don't even own a 360 or a Wii but even as a PC player (oh, and i h8 Microsoft) i can realize when a console just plain sucks. so if you really think you need a shiny black paperweight, get a 40gb and upgrade it. it wont even do anything to the warranty.

Well, in your situation i think that the 40 gig would be good for you. Pick it up since you dont need bc, and with the saved money get an extra game or 2. I think that would be the best option..

I personally got the 60,best SKU out of all of them imo. Has all features and stuff.

60 gig in my opinion is the best, has everything best BC the 40 gig in my opinion is lacking. i've used all four usb ports also 40 gigs in my opinion is a bit small took me a while to fill up my 60 gig the extra 20 gigs is nice but not really much of a difference or enough to warrant giving up guaranteed backwards compatibility.

ps2 still has a huge gaming library so my reasoning for getting the 60 gig is that it will give me a much bigger gaming library then the 40. so ill only need one console for all my playstation gaming needs and i can upscale games.

If those game are so good for PC/360 why is CoD 4 coming on the PS3 and so is devil may cry. Also WoW is old now and gears and halo are about all the 360 really has in its pocket. littlebigplannet, uncharted,killzone 2,metal gear 4etc are mostly exclusive and all amazing.

The 20gb is still available BRAND NEW online at gamestop.com.... give that a whirl. Other than that the 80gb is the best deal IMO. Motorstorm is a great game and the BC is still pretty good at 80-85% for PS2 games.

Alright uhhh here is what i will say to u my good chum

If u buy a 40 GB you can then buy a game and a controller or two games and the system comes with spider-man 3 on blu-ray. Click here to buy 40 GB

If u buy an 80 GB system it comes with the game Motorstorm which is super awesome good times and stuff... it is a 1 player only game even on one system but i swear it is so much fun u won't care cuz me and my friends play the motorstorm demo 2gether and die of laughter cause of the crashes.. it's awesome!!!! Click here to buy 80 GB

IF u buy a 60 GB system u can either get a free contoller or the game LAIR or the game Heavenly Sword at Best Buy Click here to buy 60 GB

The 20 GB is lame don't get it... it's not as attractive as the other models lol

I think that i'm getting the 80 gig because;

1. It costs the same as the 60 gig, but it has more gigs and a game.

2. I'm keeping my PS2 for Guitar Hero. Whatever games that I have for it, i'll try on the 80 gig and see if they work.

3. I just want a ps3. my riends are getting one this C-mas too, I hope
