im not sure which ps3 is right for me, the 80g, 60g, or the 40g? i want a ps3 and be able to play endless amounts of games on it. not planing to have tons of movies , pics, music ect. just gaming, maybe a few pics or songs. go high or does it sound like id be better off with low? im not that technologically inclined so im asking you guys. thanks in advance.

I would go with the 60 gb model. It comes with fully backwards ompatibility, meaning you can play basically all PS1 and PS2 games on it.

Yeah, I'd go for the 60GB too. 80GB has everything the same as 60GB just with more storage. But if you do run out of space, there's always the 2.5" hard disk drives you can replace in your PS3.

If you can, get the 60GB, only if you want full BC. If space is an issue and you don't care too much about full BC, get the 80GB.

Good luck finding them though, since they've both been discontinued.

I have an 80g, and have had absoleutly no problem with it. So, you can't really go wrong with that one. Weird thing, though, my brand new copy of Assasin's Creed kept freezing on me.

80 gb has limited backwards compatibility for ps1 and ps2

60 gb has full backwards compatibility for ps1 and ps2

40 gb has no backwards compatibility whatsoever.

There you go.
