Please help me PS3 related problem!!!!!?

Question

Here's the problem: I live in Mexico. I already asked my cousin who lives in the U.S. to get me an 80gb before they replace them with the newer 80GB ps3, but i already found a store where i can probably et a 60GB ps3 in two weeks (price unknown but probably ranges between 500-650 dollars). My mom is leaving to my cousin's wedding (whom i've already asked) to bring back the ps3 next week but she's staying there for 3 weeks. The price over there is obviously 500bucks. But my mom doesn't want to be responsable for bringing back the ps3 back home and wants me o get it here. But my dad can't take me to get it here when those 2 weeks come b/c he doesn't want me to waste my money on it. I can affored either but which should i get?

Answer 1

Unless backwards compatibility is important to you then get the new 80gig model. Otherwise try and get one of those Metal Gear Solid bundles. That's a good deal.

Answer 2

Sony hasn't officially given a date in which the current 80G will stop selling. If you can afford either, I wouldn't suggest settling for the smaller model. If your mom doesn't want to be responsible for bringing it back and it is an issue of being there 3 weeks, she can always drop by a UPS or FedEx store and mail it to you, shipping and insurance combined might run you 60 dollars, but you will get it sooner and if anything happens to it in transit, they have to pay you.
