You don' t care about Backwards compatibility if I remember correctly? I would go for a new 40GB model. If 40GB is not enough 60 GB won' t be much better. Its easy to upgrade HDD later if ever you need to. I don' t know about you guys but in NA we get Spider-Man 3 with the 40GB model. Movie isn' t that great but it' s not a bad movie to test out Blu-ray. The 40Gb is new and includes a full warrenty. More importantly the 40GB has CELL on a 65nm process as opposed to a 90nm. This isn' t as important as it is with the 360 as the PS3 was designed to work from the start; still it' s a nice bonus. The result is that it draws about 65Watts less, and makes about half the noise of the 20/60/80GB models because the fan doesn' t have to spin as fast to keep the PS3 cool. 60Gb -BC -memopry card reader -4 usb slots as opposed to 2 in the 40GB 40GB -new, Warrenty -65nm CELL -Spider-man 3 I was too impatient to wait a few more days and I wanted Motorstorm so I got the 80GB model. Since I have no PS2 games, I don' t need 2 extra USB ports, and I' ll probably change the HDD to a faster one anyways, I would have been fine with the 40GB model. I just didn' t want to wait two weeks. Actuallly I would have been better off with the 40GB, aside from it being cheaper, having CELL on 65nm is a real plus for someone who leaves their PS3 running all day. I' m running Folding@Home. That reminds me? Anyone else running the Folding@Home on their PS3 or computer? I' m on " Team Canada" . But if others are doing it here I' ll start a " Team Kikizo" , or has this already been done?

I just created a " Team Kikizo" . The team number is 91724. If you have the PS3, and you' re running the application all you have to do is press triangle, scroll down to " Identity" and click " Join Existing Team" and input 91724. That' s it.

I don' t have Warhark yet. The only game I have so far is MotorStorm. I wanted to rent Warhark before buying. If you guys still play it, I might pick it up the next time I go to EB Games without renting. Some jackass took " Agent Ghost" so my PSN is AgentGhost.

ORIGINAL: Vx Chemical Well iv been thinking about BC lately because God of War is tickling my fancy right now. God of War II is amazing. That said, are there any other PS2 games you missed that are on the BC list for your country ???

If money is that big of an issue and you' re willing to buy used and you decide to go used, why not get a used 40GB?

I would go with the 40 gig. Never ever buy a used console If you seen the way my little bro tear things up . You would think more about the 40 gig. Its brand new and thats all you need.

Now before i continue i' d like to mention that i did not influence My Brother in Law in anyway when he made this decision. With that said my Bro In Law has got a 40Gb PS3, but he traded his 360 for it??? One day i went over his place and there was a PS3 sitting on his entertainment unit. He told me that the 360 was too much like a PC. Well in hindsight all he played was soccer on 360, but know he plays it on his PC for free, so i think the ps3 was for its Blu ray capabilities. Anyway i get a chance to play some PS3 games (when he gets some).
