The PS3 80GB & 160GB?

Question

Which one should I get? The 80GB Core is available right now for $400. The 160GB comes with Uncharted in November for $500. Which system should I get?

P.S. Can I still add extra memory to the 80GB Core?

Answer 1

wait til 160gb because you will save A LOT of money....

the core will be $399 with 80gb HDD

the 160gb ps3 will be $499 with uncharted, a voucher to download PAIN for free...

uncharted: $60

PAIN: $10

160gb: $64 on newegg.com

you would save like $50 bucks... enough to buy a used game, lol  

so basically would you rather spend $50 extra and get it now or wait til the 160gb comes out?

Answer 2

I have a 60gb, but I would say get the 80gb. It is cheaper, and is exactly the same as the 160gb, minus the extra space. Get the 80, then upgrade the HDD to a larger size, like 320gb. Uncharted is good, but I bet if you give it 2 more months, it will be a greatest hit.

For above comment, you will use most of the 80gbs, if you DL enough. I have 15gb of 60gb left on my PS3. I have alot of Rock Band DLC, and demos and DL games. And PS4 won't be out for atleast 6-8 yrs. At least. Think about the time btwn PS2 & PS3.

Answer 3

Get the mgs4 bundle still available at circuitcity.com for $500 and then upgrade to a bigger harddrive. And the 80gbcore  can be upgrade to a larger harddrive.

Answer 4

trust me when i say you will never be able to use up the entire 80gb so there is no point paying for more space

stick with the 80gb - and yes you can always add extra memory

by the way there is a new edition to the ps3 thats got built in slots for emmory cards etc

but dont forget that the ps4 is under development - you might want to wait up for that to come out and just buy that since once thats out most peeps will drop the ps3 for it.

Answer 5

The 160 gig has all the same features as the 80 gig CORE, you can add HDDs to all PS3s.

The last two columns show the COre and 160 gig PS3s:

Answer 6
