I've been kinda looking to get a PS3. I noticed that there are different size gigs.(40, 60 and 80) Mostly I see in stores the 40 gig.
I know alot of things are different with the new PS3 from the PS2 such as the Blue Ray. What other things are different on it? I don't know much about the PS3 so I came here to get some info from anybody who knows alot about it.
I baught my brother the PS2 along time ago just to let you know that we do have sony consoles also I have the Sony slim PSP.
Any advice would be great:cool:

Thanks,

CeeGee- I

The quality of games is something that you can't find on a PS3.

Remote play, wifi, DVD Upscaler, free online play, HDMI, ability to run PPC Linux OS's (ubuntu, yellow dog etc), good for all media (DIVX etc.) and much more.

I recomend getting one.

And JKK, a successful disc format is something that you can't find on a 360.

I have never heard of JKK format. Is that a new kind of format? Is it like Blue ray?

Classic JKKDARK, always being a ***got but we still love him <3

Anyway, the games that I have played online with my Playstation have been pretty fun ( GT5P, Motorstorm, Call of Duty 4 ) so you can't say that the online mode is bad ( and if you do I will whip you )

Why are there the different gig sizes on the PS3's?

Probably so you can put on more Movies, Music, Games and stuff like that on your Playstation.

If you want backward compatibility for PS2 games, you'll want the 60GB or 80GB edition. Plus those have card readers so you can insert Compact Flash, Sony Memory Stick PRO/PRO DUO and standard size SD/Mini SD cards too.

I was going to say what Shrygue just said. :)

The 40GB's model doesn't have PS2 backward compatibility, nor Media Card Readers, and has 2 USB Slots(The 60gb and 80gb models have 4). But... the 60 and 80gb's models were discontinued. So you won't find them in stores so easily.

I bought my 40gb's PS3 like 4 days ago, and to be honest, it's freaking sweet. There were no other models left, anywhere! But then, 1 day after I bought I went to K-Mart and saw some 80gb's but they were selling them for like $600, and the 40gb's is $399, and you can always get rid of the HDD and install a bigger one. I'm not missing any of those extra features. Plus I can buy a Media Card Reader for $13 and connect it to it. And add more USB Slots too. :) I'm pretty happy right now 'cause I connected my cellphone's Blue-Tooth head-set to the PS3 and I can use it as any other head-set. It freaking kicks ass.

The 40gb has some new technology that the past models didn't. An upgraded cooling system, more range for Wi-Fi and Blue-Tooth, and supposedly it saves more energy.
