What are the features of the new 80gb PS3?

Question

I have the 40gb version and wondered whether it is worth trading up?

Answer 1

The extra features are........

- An 80 GB Hard Drive...

Answer 2

It's 80gb that is all and it has no PS2/PS1 support.

Just buy a cheap hard drive and install yourself.

Answer 3

Only the old versions can play PS2 / PS1 games. It just has more memory for your videos, music, etc. I'd take 40gb and save $50-$100.

Answer 4

their are none it is a ps3 but the feature is 40+ GBs

Answer 5

the new 80gb CORE ,they're not supposed to "officially" go on sale until the end of this month, it appears that many retailers are stocking their store shelves with the new 80GB Core Packs. These systems, which retail for $399, offer an upgraded version of the previous 40GB system: a larger hard drive and a DualShock 3 controller. It does NOT, however, provide any backwards compatibility.

If the new 80GB Core Packs are available, that means the two current PS3 SKUs both feature 80GB hard drives. The more expensive ($499) 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle includes a copy of the popular stealth action game and offers backwards compatibility..

And yeah theres a new one too 160gb ps3..

So basically if they released the new 80gb CORE, the 40gb will go bye bye..I recommend you should get the core cause its just a 40gb with twice the memory..Goodluck!

Answer 6

it's exactly the same as the 40GB except fot the hd capacity. The existing 80gb bundled with metal gear is the one that's ps1 and ps2 compatible and it is limited edition only.

Answer 7

lost soul has it bang on.

the 80 gig unit is a 40 gig one with an 80 gig hard-drive.

it will play ps1 games but is not b/c with ps2 games.

thats it-end of story.
