It was such a beautiful sight

ahhh Alter. Should've just bought it!

by the way, if you ever need someone to restrain you from making a purchase... I'm DEFINITELY not the person to ask!!

[Peench]

Alter - that's probably the main thought behind me getting one as well.

[Jon Liu]

it's the primary function of the PS3 at my place right now!! I'm just waiting for more games to come out, but the demos are tying me over plenty.

I'm really wondering if I need the 60 gig. For what I am using it for I am thinking I can save a hunsky and pick up the 20 instead. After all that's all the 360 hard drive is.

I'll replace my 20gig with something near 200 in the future.

Alter - the other differences are the wifi... and... hm.. not sure on the HDMI. I can't remember if they ended up putting them on both. I remember at one point they were saying no HDMI on the 20, but I think they changed that.

From what I understand they put HDMI on both. What is the advantage of the wi fi?

Only advantage is that you can connect the PS3 to your network without having to connect an ethernet cable. If you are going to install it close to somewhere that you can get an ethernet cable to, then save the C-Note and buy the 20 gig version.

Ah, just checked out This Wikipedia Page and seems that there are a couple of other features missing from the 20 Gig:

Chrome Trim
WiFi
Media Card Readers

I have used the media card reader to watch a slilde show of photos. Its pretty simple and cool. Not sure why they didn't put it in the 20 gig version.

The Wifi would be nice but seeing as the 360 would be sitting right next to it it with access to a hookup it really isn't necessary. The chrome trim means nada as well. But then again for a hunsky I guess they would be nice features to have, just in case.

I looked at all of that and decided on the 20gig that first week. I don't need wireless, the chrome, or the readers (I have a usb hookup/adapter thingy). The hard drive swaps out in 3 minutes, too. I bought the 20 with the Ebay profits from one of my 60gig sales. Its like gettin a PS3 for free!
