What is the Best Playstation 3 to buy? (I mean in Gigabyte size)?

Question

I want to know what size (in GB) for PS3 is the best. I'm sure 80 GB is the best, but is 60 GB just as good?

The lower the GB, is there less features?

Answer 1

yeah 60 is just as good because it can play all ps2 games and 80 plays most

Answer 2

The Lower the gb is less features. If you get the 80gb core you cant play ps2 games. And it doesnt have a memory slot. Its $400. The 60gb does not sell in stores anymore. Sony took it off. So you can maybe find it online but I wouldnt get it. The 80gb is $500. Its not the same as the core. It has a memory slot and can play mostly ever playstation and playstation 2 game. But wait for this fall. They are releasing a 160gb PS3 with the same features and i think it includes Uncharted.

Answer 3

With the announcement of a new 80GB PlayStation 3, Sony has released new specs and details for their current systems. The new 80GB and 60GB PS3 specs resemble the previous 60GB PS3 specs, with, of course, the exception of a larger hard drive on the new model. One other notable exception is the lack of an Emotion Engine chip listed in the specs for either the 80GB or 60GB PS3.

This has led to the speculation that future production models of the 60GB PS3 are likely to resemble their 80GB counterparts, and rely on software emulation for PS2/PSone backwards compatibility. Current 60GB and 20GB PS3s have an Emotion Engine in them and thus use their hardware to achieve backwards compatibility. Sony claims that the software emulation allows for compatibility with "virtually all" PS2 and PSone games. All versions of the PS3 care compatible with DVD and audio CD playback.

All PlayStation 3's are powered by the Cell Broadband Engine, an amazing chip that uses eight microprocessors, allowing it to do many massive calculations at the same time. Every PS3 system is equipped with a built-in Blu-ray Disc player which not only allows for more game content, but for HD movie playback as well. The PS3 systems ship with a Sixaxis wireless controller. The Sixaxis is a redesign of the popular PlayStation Dualshock controller, but, in addition to being wireless, also features tilt sensors that allow gamers to move the controller to control the action on-screen.

Answer 4

The best ps3 to buy is 60gig, since 20 gig is a bit small compared to the other ones (also they stop making em) 40gig CAN'T play ps3 games and 60 gig can. 80 gig has a lot of room but can only play 80% of the games..

Answer 5

The best is NTSC 60GB (all possible features, plays ~100% of PS2 games). PAL 60GB and old (2007) 80GB play only ~70% of PS2 games. You still can buy old 80GB, but it's very hard to find NTSC 60GB (only second hand on ebay, craigslist).  

Answer 6

Try Gta 4 For Ps3.....It's Awesome

Answer 7

the 80 gig is as i heard fake

or didnt come out in australia

the 60 gig is really good

the 40 gig cant play ps2 games

while the 60 gig can

Answer 8

you can wait for the 160GB version to come, or just buy the 60GB...

Answer 9

The 60 GB system is the best to buy, but also the hardest to find.

It has the 4 USB slots (More than 40GB)

It can play all PS2 Games(80GB can play most, 40 GB cant play any)

Plus with any system you can upgrade the harddrive to a larger one.

Answer 10

If you buy a new PS3, there really is no big difference, as none of the new PS3 models is compatible with the PS2 games anymore and all features are the same.

And since you can exchange the PS3 harddrive with any store-bought 2.5'' SATA drive, you can buy a cheap 40GB model, throw out the harddisc and with about $50 buy a 250GB HDD and have a monster PS3, that can't play PS2 games.

The old PS3 models wich are now discontinued had more features.
