I'd appreciate the help in deciding which model I should get: 40GB or 60GB

I never owned a PS1 or PS2, so the 60GB is tempting but the price is a bit... ouch. So what do you good people of the PS3 forums think?

Pros and Cons are always appreciated. :)

This may not be related to your question, but Wal-Mart has several different PS3 bundles where they give you a free $100 gift card on 40G models so you might want to look around there. I just bought mine and I'm gonna get another game and some blu ray movies for free :)

well the 40gb doesn't support backwards compatability although the 60gb does but it has been discontinued. You might still find some if your lucky, and ebay and such sites tend to have them. If you want backwards compatability for ps2 games the new 80gb MGS4 bundle is coming out for $500 which is a solid deal for the price. I guess if you want to backwards compatability get the 80 if not get the 40gb model, in the end it's your decision not ours.

Long, snarky answer: Look up one of the other 9,000,000,000 threads that ask this exact same question and see what the replies to them are.

Short, simple answer: 60GB is master and commander of the PS3 fleet.
