Been thinking about getting one of these as well, saw in America recently the 80gb ones? when will the UK have these?

Also, is it needed or is a 40gb up to scratch? (whats the deal with 40, 60 and 80 anyway, faster or jus more storage?)

other than:

The PlayStation 3 40GB model does NOT feature:</STRONG>
  • Backwards Compatibility with PS2 Games
  • Memory Stick Card Readers
  • SACD Playback
  • Ethernet Cable
  • 4 USB Ports, (The PS3 40GB model features 2)

Amazon are doin 40 gb for Ł284 with a free game, sounds no bad!?

I went to Curry's, Playstation 3, 2 controllers, Motorstorm and Resistance Fall Of Man Ł300 on the button. HDMI cable from ebuyer.com for a tenner, 42" toshiba 1080p LCD telly from Comet Ł639.

Irate missis because I spend more time on it then doing housework

Play.com will do you the ps3 and gtaiv for Ł289 I think, same with gran turismo.

The thing plays mpeg's and div x movies, and if you have an external hard drive that's on usb you can plug it in and watch stuff off there. Porn in HD really is am must

Or, buy a laptop SATA hard drive and simply install it into the PS3, hell the manual even gives you instructions on how to do it

Jims offer is the bollox people, get one bought.

Incidentally Jim, if its a 60GB, put your price UP, as they are well sought after.

jim's is a 40 GB, but still a good deal, especially with all that. should have stuck with Ł300 jim, you'd have had a buyer eventually

If you have wireless networking set up in your house...download a system called TVersity...it allows you to stream media wirelessly from the PC to the PS3...all your music/films etc can be acessed from a submenu in the PS3 menu...Its awesome!

Does the PS3 have the wireless router type thingy built in?!?! Say If I wanted to connect to the router downstairs?

As I know the 360 needs an attachment.

(Hope that makes sense, I havent got a clue with these things! )
