Im looking to buy the 12gb ps3 for price reasons.
Can the 12gb ps3 play all ps3 games like heavy rain, uncharted etc on the 12gb alone?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
There are plenty of great games on PSN. Purchase a ps3 with atleast 160gb now. 12gb is way too low.... And do you really want to delete and install a game almost every time you want to switch a game? Some games take a very long time to install. There were plenty of deals around black friday and xmas where ps3 was 160gbs and came with games for like $199. You could even buy a $279.... 250gb ps3 bundel with god of war saga and medal of honor warfighter and then sell the games for like $50-60 to make it cheaper for you. On amazon, they have the 250gb bundel with playstation allstars, ratchet and clank collection and a blu-ray remote controller.
How much is the ps3 with 12 gb cost now? I haven't seen their advertised price yet.
only in EU, IDK why, but at the sametime IDK why they even sell a 12gb in the fist place. Thats like selling you an ipod touch with 526mb, the f*ck are you going to do with that?My old 40 gb is a pain to manage in term of HDD space, I hardly imagine 12 gb. You're gonna cry when you'll reach the 12 gb limit (Probably a week after you bought it...)
I didn't know they're selling those kind of ps3, how much is it?

You will be able to re-installed games, 1 or 2 at a times. Some games unfortunately could require larger GB for install but I really do suggest you pick up and upgrade to larger HDD (takes 5-10 minutes to do it, very easy). Watch YouTube videos how to upgrade.
If you use the PSplus cloud storage system. You should be O.K with the 12GB flash model Superslim. But it is a PAL region only model. This is strange as Sony cancelled the original Playstation 3 20GB HDD model back in April 2007. Just 5 months that PS3 was available but unpopular due to the small HDD. Now Sony introduces a 12GB flash memory model. Yes the PS3 superslim 12GB is able to play all Playstation 3 games. you are just going to have to constantly install and uninstall Game Data which is sometimes manatory. I guess if you only want to play a few games then the PS3 12GB flash superslim is for you.
Plus you can add any SATA 2.5 Computer HDD. Thus far Sony has released 20GB,40GB,60GB,80GB,120GB,160GB,250GB,320GB,500GB HDD's preinstalled for Playstation 3 consoles. This is Sony's first Flash memory model and the Smallest at 12GB
It works with all PS3 games. But you will have to upgrade the memory. Any SATA 2.5 HDD will work with a regular PS3 but you have to use an external HDD with the PS3 12GB
That's incorrect. You can upgrade the 12 gig Superslim with a 2.5" SATA as well. The catch is, you will need to buy the hard drive caddy as well and you will not be adding extra storage but only using the extra storage. Eg. Installing a 250 gig hard drive to a 12 gig Superslim (250gig + 12 gig) will give you 250 gig of storage not 262 gig. So a back up and restore is required if there are some saves needed. In saying this, the 12 gig is a waste of money to a gamer and is better looked at as a Bluray player that has capability to play the odd PS1 and PS3 game.Any SATA 2.5 HDD will work with a regular PS3 but you have to use an external HDD with the PS3 12GB

Hell no. The PSN+ Cloud save option is only for game saves. Game saves dont take much space in the first place, its the mandatory game installs that that take space as well as update installs, which the Cloud Save does not cover.If you use the PSplus cloud storage system. You should be O.K with the 12GB flash model Superslim. Megavideogamer
