Default Which ps3 to buy 2moro the big day

I went to best buy and looked around..i have a samsung blu-ray player already but i want a ps3 for gaming also.

i was going to buy a ps3 today but couldnt figure if i should spend the money and buy the 160 gb uncharted bundle...they also had the 80 gb little big planet and wall e blu-ray bundle...and i hear rumors of a killzone 2 mgs4 bundle out next weekend...out of all that i think i would like the uncharted game the best..(just looks and seems more interesting to me) but i dunno if its a good idea to drop that kinda money or not.

is the uncharted bundle worth it or just stick to the 80 gb bundles?

Thanks for your time and suggestions.

I just picked up my Uncharted bundle with LittleBIGPlanet and Killzone 2 for free at Walmart Canada.
If you can't get a deal like that for the 160GB one then definitely get one of the two 80GB bundles you mentioned. You can always buy Uncharted for cheaper somewhere else, maybe even trade your free game(s) for it.

The Killzone 2 / MGS4 bundle is already out, was on shelves this past Sunday (July 5th); or at least it was in several BB's in my area. Great deal if your interested in both games

All those 4 games are worth owning IMO so your best option is the MGS4+Killzone 2 bundle, buy Uncharted+LBP (and Walle if you want) separately. It'll all run for about $540 bucks plus tax, so for 40 dollars more than the Uncharted bundle, you get the 3 extra games + the movie...

If you really want 160GB, it's $50 at new egg with free shipping. You can probably get $20 for your 80GB on ebay.

Default 80 gb or less won't be enough for 6 years.

Are you thinking about getting Qore(video magazine on games) which is over 1gb per episode each month. That's about 15 gb on your hard drive + add 5 years of Qore subscription if Qore is still around. I have about 14 games installed on my hard drive for reduced load times which is about another 30 gb taken. Also consider future downloadable games & map packs + add-ons for the next 7 years.

Few people also had trouble with the screws by stripping(destroying) it when swapping out their hard drive.

It can be a chore to re-download & shuffle around your content.

Today was the day....but....i called best buy and asked them about the killzone 2 mgs4 bundle...he checked and said yes we have about 12 of them left.....So i drive up there...i ask the guy in the ps3 area about it he said...No there is only the lbp and wall e bundle and the uncharted bundle..he has not heard of the killzone 2 bundle....

i explained how i called and they said there was some...and online it says there will be the bundle...So he goes to the back and checks...Comes back later and says yes we will have them for sale next weekend

Why didnt the guy on the phone tell me that tho??? He said they would have enough for me when i get there cause i asked him did he think they would be gone soon...I just eyed the other bundles and left....Thought today would be the day....better luck next time...

Depending on how far away they are, I'd go back and show them their own website (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1218099072505) --- which actually earlier today did allow for in store pickup. How can something leave the warehouse in 1 day, if they're "not supposed to be out until next weekend"

Yeah really how could it leave in 1 business day and not be available?...it does say no store pick up tho...I will let best buy win this time! But they better have it this weekend...Dunno what day tho...Beginning not to trust calling them anymore....I wanted to play this week but i can wait...i played mgs4 over my friends house today and it was really cool...

mgs4....killzone 2....uncharted 1 and 2...& infamous are the only games im thinking about daily lol...maybe modern warfare too.

Many BB employees suck (sorry CaliBlue). If you really want it, just order it for in-store pickup online and then go pick it up.
