ok peeps

looking at buying one this weekend

whats the best to go for?, is it the 60gb or 40gb version

apart from the backwards compatibility, bigger drive and extra 2 usb ports is this the only difference? not really fussed on the backwards compatibility bit as wont be using any older games

cheers

apparently the 4ogb item doesnt have the slots for putting phone/camera memory cards in,sony have discontinued the 60gb console now so whatever the shops have in stock is all thats left once there gone thats it

i have a 60gig bad boy. i think theres a difference with the net surfing on the 40. perhaps you cant? not 100% on that.

I hummed + harred about this myself... 60gig one does have wifi aswell that the 40gig one hasn't! Ended up with a 40 and i'm happy with it

But at the end of the day i have a PC at home so didn't need the wireless for internet only for the playstation network. I could link up the PS3 to the modem with a 5quid cable which you wouldn't see behind the telly stand anyway...

Got a blinding deal from Blockbusters of all places!!! I got the following...

40gig PS3
2 wireless controllers
Black hawk down on Blue-ray ( I could choose ANY blue ray film i wanted)
Fifa 08
Motorstorm
Restance of man
DVD remote control
HDMI cable

all for 389.99. I was chuffed!

looks like i'll be searching for a 60gb, as i wanna go on the playstation network ...why hasn't the 40gb got the wi-fi

Whats this talk of the 40GB not being able to go on the net thats like saying ive just bought a brand new car, except its the version that cant get wet

Course the 40GB can get online

Smit

Just not wirelessly like the 60gig one. So what, 5quid cable and job done!

BM08

ahh im with you, cable is more reliable anyway

Just found out the girlfriend was going to get me a PS3 for christmas but after finding out the 60gb is discontinued she was fuc**d. So a mate of ours is a general manager for GAME and he told her that wait till january - feb time and get the new 80gb version. this is the better 1 with something called sony TV! this is a software where you can download things from the net onto the hard drive. like films etc. It going to be the same price as the 60gb.

I'd rather wait till then.

BM08

first ive heard of that

GARETH T

I'll believe that when i see it....

foreigneRS

so will the official uk 80GB be backwards compatible with PS2 games and have wifi like the current 60GB one?

RsToy

i've had mine for several months now.....excellent for watching blu ray and also use it for a quick browse on the nett.

"thanks to Steven Fletcher who tipped me off"

No worries Smit

Ive heard rumours of the 80gb Console, but not heard anything official yet! As soon as I know something official I will let ya all know

But IMO Sony will not release it Jan/Feb or they will be shooting themselves in the foot! If people know a better version will be out in 2 months they will wait and not buy for XMas. I maybe wrong tho.

What, like an Xbox 360 then?
