on another note as well, there is a deal going on right now (see thread) that best buy is giving you a $50 dollar giftcard and guitar hero 3 for free with the purchase of a 80gb ps3. so essentially, ill be getting 80gb ps3, another DS controller since i already have one and GH3, all for $100. thats not a deal?!

Instead of trying to justify your decision, just do it because you've already learned there is no reason to upgrade. Just as there isn't particularly a reason TO upgrade, besides wanting to help your friend out. But don't fool yourself into thinking that you're somehow upgrading anything but the HDD, because everything else is exactly the same beside the extra DS3.

But no, it's not a "deal" to spend more money then it would be to just keep what you have for a slightly different model, especially when much cheaper alternatives are available. But if it comes down to that you just want to help a friend out by losing out on a couple bucks because he can't afford to buy a new PS3, then go for it.
