so lesner87 u would recommend me get the 40gig ( before the discontinue them ) and just upgrade the HD to like 100+ ?
Its just soo hard to pick cause i dont know much about these things , and i havent read anywhere that WE will be getting 100+ versions.. but maybecampzor

Sh**.Damn my very long post got deleted.Anyways i`ll make it short and simple.Sony isnt killing the 40GB anymore instead they are gonna finish the 80GB models,to introduce the all new 120/160GB models.Now you have got two choices.Either to wait for the new models (120/160GB) to come out or to buy a 40GB model and upgrade its hard drive to 150GB.I would recommend you to go for the 40GIG model because i doubt that they`ill add something entirely new(except the accessories ofcourse)in the upcoming models.Accessories can be added later onwards.

when puttin a bigger hdd in my ps3 if i dont care about game saves or nottin can i just pull out my 80gb and throw in a 320gb and be all set or what

Every electronic overheats. It's just a matter of how you use it and how frequent it breaks down. fnd461

Exactly.If some one doesnt believe me try wrapping the console in towels and than playing GTA IV on it.I am sure your console wont last 10 freaking minutes.

well kind sir the first paragraph means nothing to me coz i dont know what it means.. however i looked at the chart you linked and that 80 gig is the 'american' version i gather coz the one released in aus according to the specs ive researched are EXCACTLY like the 40 gig just double the HD size and nothing more... sony tends to screw us here down under....

So the only difference then with the 40 and 80 (our one) is possible heating issues?

Also is it difficult to install a HD?

OH and by the way the 80gig is the same price as the 40 , i think they are discontinuing the 40 down here.campzor

"So the only difference then with the 40 and 80 (our one) is possible heating issue?"

If what you are saying is correct than i guess only thing we can worry of is overheating.BTW do check out other forums and any other sources of info.In my experience i have noticed that the MOST unbalanced PS3 model is 80gb.Because it tends to screw alot.I think you better do some research before buying it and make sure that your safe to go.

"Also is it difficult to install a HD?"

No,VERY EASY.Its given inside Sonys user manuals,so you can follow their instructions.If you still dont understand it from there i would recommend you to try youtube.The good news is that it DOES NOT void warranty.

"OH and by the way the 80gig is the same price as the 40 , i think they are discontinuing the 40 down here. "

Yes soon when the stock of 40gbs model finishes the production of 40 gb models will be stopped.Because they are introducing new 100+ GB bundles in the market.

i recently bought a sony bravia 46'' 1080p tv and im having a problem with the ps3 already. i had it displaying 1080p and then it flickered once or twice during a movie so i put the cable in a different hdmi plug and now my ps3 doesnt display 1080p at all the screen just flickers. i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this at all? i dont know if its the tv or the cord. i still get 720p and 1080i perfectly just not 1080p now. maybe reset the tv or buy a new cord? any help is much appreciated!fishdog1619

Its is simple.

Settings>display settings>video output settings>HDMI>custom>you will see 540p(already checked,720p,1080i and 1080p>check 720p and 1080p (1080i isnt needed)>press right directional button(your video output list will appear and enjoy)

Set the audio output setting to HDMI>Automatic

Now if on the last part of the video output settings nothing appears(a black screen appears)where you press O to go back to resolution selecting screen.Than i guess theres something wrong with the TV.Try taking all the cords out and pluging them back in and reseting the resolution.
