I am thinking of snagging a PS3 tomorrow and the only thing that is stopping me from getting the 20gig and saving a hundred bucks is that it looks dif than the 60gig.  I have no need for wireless, I get by fine with 20gigs on my 360, and I have no need for those SD slots or whatever and on top of that it would be nice to save money because I also have to buy HDMI cables and an HDMI-DVI adapter.  However, it REALLY bothers me that it looks different!!  Someone tell me that it doesn't matter!

get the 60 gig, i've heard it time and time again, people saying they don't need the extra space but beleive me with all the stuff you can put on there you'll run out very quickly, especially if you plan on transfering lots of videos and music to it the mem card slots are a godsend.

It doesn't matter!! There, happy now? :lol:

Myself, I prefer the look of the 20 GB- the plate on the 60 GB looks tacky and out of place to me.

Agreed.  I dont like the chrome tray on the 360 premy.  I dont like the chrome trim on the 60gb ps3.  But I guess some people need their bling bling even if its out of place on a game console.

Just ask yourself which is more important, $100 or a piece of chrome plating.

Just go for the 20GB, I got mine near launch. I wasn't too interested in the other features, plus I had no interest in using my PSP as a controller.

20 gb still looks okay without chrome trim. with those 100 bucks you could be getting a hard drive larger than 60 gb

If the 20gb is all you need then just upgrade the HDD if you end up needing space.

Like the others said, you should get the 20 gig. cheaper, and if you need more space, just get a new HDD.

More agreed and If you dont plan on storeing music or something one it 20GB will be enough. I plan on putting the games on the harddrived to speed up load time but at 60 dollars a piece i dont plan on having many games

I had a 20giger and it looked really great it was sleek and all black plus shinny too but it started screwing up so when i went to trade it in i could not resist the tmeptations of an extra 40gigs and wireless so i upgraded to 60 at first it was tacky looking but now ive come to really like it.
