...you. Hurry though, as Sony are phasing out this version. No more 60GB units are being manufactured - once they sell out that's it!
The 80GB hard drive may be good for people who want to turn their PlayStation 3 console into a full-fledged computer system. You have the option to install Linux on the system and use it as you would any PC.
However, many will find that the 80GB is simply too much and they could never hope to fill up that hard drive. The 80GB version also has limited backward compatibility. It contains the same number of USB ports and functions as the 60GB version otherwise. The 80GB version is currently only available in the US.
In order to make the best decision for you, you will want to take a hard look at your needs. If you want a bare bones system that will introduce you to the wonderful world of ps3, then look no further than the 40 GB model. If you want to save a lot of things on your PlayStation 3 or turn it into a computer, you should go ahead and get the 80 GB model. However, the majority of people will do well to purchase the 60GB model as it has all the storage, USB ports, and backwards functionality you could ever need.
Have fun PlayStation 3 hunting!

Yet, it would seem better for the free market to make better and more moral games and defea...more
...you sent away (Microsoft simply send you one of their pre-repaired consoles) Therefore, remember to remove the hard-drive before you send it away so that you have a full backup of save games etc, and remember to remove any discs from the drive as these will NOT be returned. Only send the console itself, no leads, no controllers, no discs, and no hard-drive! The other important thing to note is that the time delay between shipping your console and receiving a refurbished one can potentially be quite large. Between four to eight weeks seems to be the average for gamers living in North America.
