Shouild I sell my 60gb ps3 for 80gb?

[mugupo]

Ok i had 60gb ps3 which can play all ps2 and 1 games, but is generate quite a lot of fan noise. I try clean and dust it out it stilll has the noise level. is it any 80gb will not had the same issue? I plan to get slim ps2 if i get the 80gb ps3.

Also has anyone back up ps3 before, does it back up ps2 game?

keep it 80GB doesn't play all PS2 games unless you mean the newer 80GB which btw have 0% compatibility with PS2 games but even the older 80GB were not 100% compatible.

Personally, I would keep the 60gig PS3 and purchase a seperate stand-alone player if you had the extra money. Prices on stand-alones are dropping considerably. Performance over the PS3 is the same if not better in newer players. Performance dealing with load times and picture quality.

If you can bear with the 60gig for a few more months, look to pick up a stand-along around 'black friday'. I wouldn't doubt it if they don't have some tremendous deals on stand-alone Blu-ray players. If you want one earlier than that, I'm sure you could find really great prices on Pioneer's and Sony's.

It does not include backing up PS2 games, you'll have to buy a memory card adapter and manually transfer them in order to use them on your new PS2.

Though I believe you can manually backup PS2 saved games onto a USB drive. Its just not covered on the system backup.

One of these will do the trick http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Prod...oduct_id=64038

I just bought the 160GB model (same as the 80GB model) and the fan noise is infinitely better then my 60GB was. Since I almost never used PS2 BC anyways, this option was way better for me.

You should keep it, as apart from having PS2 compatability, it also has 4 USB ports and various card readers (SD, etc...).

If you want extra HD space then just buy a new compatible laptop hard drive and upgrade it yourself. Sony have deliberately made it very easy to do.

The only reason that may stop me from replacing my 80GB with a PS3 Slim is the lack of USB ports. Though I can always buy a USB hub for $10, lol.

I also would not give up the 60gb.

I have one and wouldn't even consider parting ways with it...short of it going up in flames

How much would it cost to repair 60gb that reduce the fan noise and heat? i am out of warrantly since last year

If you send it to Sony it would be like somewhere between $100-$150

[Rike255]

Well a repair would cost $150, but that won't fix the heat/fan noise. the 60GB PS3 uses much more power then new models, and so produces more heat and runs the fan faster. It didn't bother me when I had my 60GB model, but now that I've upgraded the difference is huge.

Like others have said, it only has 2 USB ports and no memory card readers. I never use more then 1 USB port at a time nor do I use memory cards (plus I have a USB card adapter if I ever needed one anyways) so these things don't bother me either.

I don't agree with that, but KEEP the 60gb, forget the stand alones!

[hardcorefrokid]

I say keep it and buy a standalone.

No one said you had to agree. Then again no one said that we have to start another one of these Stand-alone v. PS3 debates either. Before I go any farther, I have/use a PS3 as a Blu-ray player. Simply put it, there are stand-alones out there that can match the PS3 on load times. And I have seen stand-alones that can up-scale a DVD better and produce a better picture playing a Blu-ray than the PS3. It's not a shot at the PS3 by any means. But just because the PS3 did a lot of things better in the past, doesn't mean that's the case any more. Technology and efficiency in components used in players did evolve since the PS3 was released. It's not like tech evolution took a break just because the PS3 was released...sorry

And as for the OP, most stand-alones are no where near as loud as the 60gig, and even newer 80/160gig PS3s.

the only way i would buy a standalone blu is to put it in another room.....not because of load times or to stop wear on my ps3.

thats like having a ps2 when dvd's came out THEN buying another standalone dvd player.

some people just love to find an excuse to waste money

[detector19]

No don't stay with the 60 not worth the change.....
