New 80g PS3 - Any Opinions - Blu-ray Forum

fatediesel · 08-29-2008, 01:05 PM

Title says it all, does anyone have any thoughts on the new 80gig PS3? It is in my gold box today for $379.99 and I'm considering picking it up. I already have a 60 gig and 40 gig and want another to put in my basement. I'm just curious if there's any reason to possibly avoid this model. Thanks.

lack of backwards combatilbility, lack of extra usb ports, lack of memory card reader

It is basically the 40 Gig model with a 80 Gig HDD. It has 2 USB ports no PS2 backward comp. $379.99 is a good price to pay for it considering you don't pay any tax or shipping. I'd say go for it.

If you already have a 40GB PS3, then there shouldn't be a reason to avoid this model as you are confortable with the same version with a smaller hard drive.
