I know most of us here have a PS3, but i'd like to ask this question, if you already had a PS3, would you sell it to get the limited ediiton Steel PS3 thats coming out exclusively for MGS4? (Its a Japan product but you can easily import it from websites.)

Would you do it?

If you don't have a PS3, would you get this limited edition PS3 or just get a regular one?

(Also, do you guys think there will be another limited edition consle for a game like this or do you think this will be the only one?)

No, I wouldn't sell my black 60gb PS3 for a steel, silver, white, or any other color PS3.

If I didn't have a PS3, I would buy a black one, and only a black one.

No. I would have prefered a different coloured PS3, but that doesn't mean that I would sell my black one and shell out a few extra bucks for one. I'm happy with my PS3. Maybe too happy........

Of course not... and probably I would if I didn't have one (but I'd need to see how the steel PS3 looks like)

If there was a white 60gb, I'd trade my black one for it, since I got the white DS3, but, I don't care about steel.

Nah, because I got a 60 gig with the most PS2 compatability and still play a few PS2 titles and like being able to leave my PS2 at home for when I come in for break.

Yeah if that came out originally I would have bought it. That looks sweet I have to say, but I still like my black 60GB.

IMHO, and not meaning to troll, but it would depend on the circumstances. When I got mine in Nov 2007, there was some user posting a coupon on here for Kmart for 20% off anything over $75. So, I got my ps3 for $320. As I already own a 360 for gaming it wouldn't be worth getting a ps3 for $400 just for it's exclusives. Mine was primaryly purchased as a Blu Ray player, but I do enjoy the PS3's exclusives. So, for Blu Ray I would still purchase one, but as a gaming console I wouldn't. If I had to choose between a steel or black ps3, I'd pick the black one because it's a beautiful console.

Then the PS3 could truly do everything. I'd rather have a nice black teflon coating, so the burgers wouldn't stick either. lol

I will just keep my 60 gig PS3, because it just looks good sitting beside the Bravia TV and everything else in the entertainment center except the sattelite box which is gray.

i wouldn't because i really like the black one :). stealth82428

Agree. My bought mines on launch and camped for it, so selling it would mean the time I put into camping for it & having my boss see me on tv (when I called in sick for 3 days) & almost getting fired would be for nothing.

I already imported a white PS3 (40GB) and kept my black PS3 (80GB), so I don't think I need another one. Isn't the steel colored PS3 going to be bundled with the US MGS4 Bundle?

Yea. I noticed when I went to work the following week my boss said "How was the camping trip?". I didn't even deny it..I was like "Fine". I work at a hospital here in nyc, so getting fired would've sucked. Thank god she is cool.

No I would not trade my BLK 60gb PS3 for that, I got the best one, but if the 60gb was originally grey like the original PS, I think that would've been cool.

LOL thanks for the laugh. I would't consider buying a new one for the color or what it is made out of. I already shelled out the cash once and that was enough

I maybe would if I had a lot of money burning a hole in my pocket. I can't really see me allowing myself to do so otherwise, especially if it doesn't have backwards compatibility. I'm just fine with mine as it is, already spent enough upgrading the hard drive let alone on the console.

No, I wouldn't sell my black 60gb PS3 for a steel, silver, white, or any other color PS3.

If I didn't have a PS3, I would buy a black one, and only a black one.

nyc05

THANK YOU. I'm totally with ya buddy. No doubt in my mind nothing beats the black PS3, throw the 60 GB in with that and its tops.

Wait, from what I know the US MGS4 bundle is coming with a regular 80gb version of the SP3 and not the Steel PS3 that comes with the Japan bundle. Am I right?

I wouldn't sell my current PS3, but if I didn't have one already this would definitely be my 1st choice. Hard to tell if there will be more limited edition consoles, MGS4 is really just one of those games that would get a special console all on it's own, maybe a KillZone 2 special edition, but thats really the only other game I could think of to stir up enough people to make it worth while.

Not really. Between the 20/60GB launch models, the difference was that the 20GB model lacked wi-fi, card reader slots, the chrome trim and IIRC a few USB ports. Since then, each successive revision progressively cut some (and with the 40GB model, ALL) BC support.

Who gives a damn what color the console is? If the hardware is the same, why does it matter?
