It depends what you will be using it for, if it's just gaming then probably not. Simply because you can delete game data when you've finished with a game, your trophy info is obviously kept on the system. I only have an 80GB system and I play a lot of games, but never more than 4 or 5 at one time so it's no problem. I also don't download movies, which is something that can potentially take up a lot of space. Although you can just do what my mate does, download films, transfer them to the PS3(they run smoother this way) and then delete them after watching.So I'm thinking about getting a PS3 (currently own a 360), and I don't want to trade my 360 in, so I'm buying the PS3 straight up. I don't want to spend a ton of money. There's the 250 GB w/ HDMI cable and LittleBigPlanet for $350 (actually $385), and the 120 GB model for $300 ($330) . I don't actually see the point of paying for the 250 version because I could get LittleBigPlanet for probably like $20 and an HDMI cable for almost free online.
So I'm wondering, would I need the 250 GB. Let's say I download like ten to fifteen map packs or DLC a year, as well as about ten demos at a time. And maybe a movie. That wouldn't even come close, right? I mean, for the 360 you HAVE to install games to avoid RRoD so you need the 250 GB, but with the PS3 what do you actually use it for? I heard you actually have to install PS3 games too? Why is that, and how much memory would that take?
