Should I wait for 120 or 160GB PS3 or Buy an 80GB this march?

here's the link: http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=26183865&sid=6185228&action=convert&om_clk=latestnews&tag=latestnews;title;1. Previously, i have also asked some GS users what version of the PS3 to buy, 80 GB or 40 GB. Almost all posts say that i should buy 80GB, then i made my choice 80GB it is. Now i have one more problem, should i wait for the 120GB-160GB PS3 or i buy an 80GB PS3 this march(i plan to buy this coming march)?

my ps2 died, thats why i love the ps3 i have, u could always upgrade the hdd, i dont think the new ps3 will have any diffrence than the 80vato805

My advice to you is since this 120gb ps3 is just a rumor. If it is not confirmed in march than you should just go with the 80gb.

or you could buy an 80gb or even 60gb, get your backwards compatability, and then just buy a new 120-250gb or whatever you like 2.5" hard drive from the local computer store and install it yourself?

they just use those 2.5" 5400rpm laptop hard drives.

i agree. just go ahead and buy a 80 gb since you already know its specs and are happy with them. this talk about a possible 120 or 160 gb ps3 is just rumor right now and there's no telling when it will come out. you could always upgrade the HD and buy a ds3 later is you want.

i'm about to do the same. i'm buying a 80 gb in a couple of weeks. i wanted the 40gb but bc is important to me.

Sony will not release any 120/160GB PS3.

From most of the statements and rumors I've been reading over the past few weeks, if and when the new PS3 SKU launches, there is a high likelihood that it will not have backwards compatibility. If this is important to you, then you should pick up the 80 gig units while they are still available. If BC is not an issue, and you don't mind waiting a month or two for official word on a forthcoming PS3 with a larger HDD, packed-in DS3, etc., then wait it out. 2headedhawaiian

Makes sense man. Good point. Kind of funny (yet irritating too) how Sony keeps coming up with all these new models and then kills them months later...what do you think they'll sit on? 1 Terabyte?

I don't really know why anybody would need 160GB of space or even 120GB of space in a PS3 (especially if they don't have B/C).

Unless they include some other great features, I would just get the 80GB one.

since changing your own HDD for PS3 is very easy

you should buy 80GB this march

if you need more space, then you update your HDD by any size you want

besides, who knows when the 120GB will be available in stores ?

a friend of mine is a supervisor at best buy and here is what information they have told him, there is going to be a 120gb console released with ds3 and it still supports BC this is what he has heard so far so me personally i am waiting to see what happens with this console, if it doesnt have BC then ill go buy a 60gig online and just upgrade the hard drive myself

edit: he said it should be avaliable in spring
