with the gift cards and money I got for christmas I want to get a PS3 but best buy limits my options. An 80 GIG set with no games and a 160 GIG that comes with uncharted. So am I better off getting the 160 with uncharted or buying the 80 gig and using the extra money to pick up a few games or PSN stuff and or extra controlers or accessorys . Also what are the average size and cost of PSN games. and what games should I get if I choose the 80 gig system.

get the 80 GB model and get MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistence 2 and GTA4. if you need more space then just buy a hard drive later and replace the existing one with the one you got

Our Best Buy was selling the80GB consoles with LittleBigPlanet on Boxing Day, that's what I got. :3

Also grabbed a used CoD4 from work the next day.

I think the 160 is a bit overkill... xD

i think that you should buy the 80gb version and then you cam upgrade your HDD

you should buy resistance2, little big planet, metal gear solid 4 and uncharted

the price of the games at the psn is from 5,99 to 19,99 euro

Where can you buy a 40gb console for $299? Also, was it new?

i would recommend the 160 gb model, since i think uncharted really shows how good the ps3 graphics engine is but.. theres always mgs4...it all depends on how much of the memory you will use, when i bought my ps3 only the 60 gb model was available and ive almost occupied all the space so the question is how much space do you need
