Buying a Playstation 3 Online - Shopping Guide
October 25, 2007
Overview
With all of the sites that show up in a simple Google search, you can easily become overwhelmed with information quickly. Thats why we wrote this article. You may not know the difference between the different models of Playstation 3’s and thats okay. We are going to take the different models and break it down for you. Then we will show you the best places to buy a Playstation 3 online and even give you price comparison!
The Basics
You have 4 models to choose from. The 20GB model, the 40GB model, the 60GB model and the 80GB model.
Feature List
| Features | 20 GB | 40 GB | 60 GB | 80 GB |
| USB 2.0 Ports | 4 | 2 | 4 | 4 |
| IEEE 802.11b/g Wi-Fi | NO | NO | YES | YES |
| Flash Card Readers | NO | NO | YES | YES |
| SACD Playback | YES | NO | YES | YES |
| PS2 Compatible | Hardware | NO | Hardware | Software |
| Chrome Trim | NO | YES | YES | YES |
So, Which one is right for me?
Thats a tough question and one you will have to answer. My personal choice is the 60GB model because I can have WiFi, Flash card readers and I can still play my old Playstation 2 games without having to use software. But, 60GB may not be enough for you, especially if you are going to be downloading games from the Sony network. You may want to go with the 80GB model. It’s totally a choice of how much you are going to use it and what your needs are. Remember, these models are not upgradeable so it’s better to go above what you need than to not have what you need.
