Just get the 60GB if you can, you've already said it yourself it's got more important functions like PS2 backwards compatibility so just go with that.

Answer: Buy neither. Until they revise their features (on either model...) and get more games, neither one is really worth buying... I can almost guarantee that most of the games you want are (or will be) on the 360 as well.

If the sales of PS3s don't go as planned I can almost guarantee ALL the games you want will end up on the 360... People don't make big-budget games to have them sell less copies because they're on an uber-overpriced machine. So, when they find they aren't making money, they'd make a last-ditch effort for 360. That is... If Sony doesn't change their approach in a few months.

Pity... I was looking forward to the PS3, but that was until it came out.
 
I only want to buy the ps3 cause of the Good Games coming out on it. Like
Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy xiii and more. but i dont think these games coming out on the xbox360
 
Well the 60 gb has the extra features, so I'd just go with that. Seems to make sense to me.
The wireless connection stuff all depends on your location and other such things, not the HDD size of the console.

xD They would if they had bad sales... Square-Enix is, after all, making at least one game for 360, who says they can't port the XIII's over...? Though of course, Die-hard SE fans would've likely already bought PS3's JUST for XIII which makes no sense to me...

As for MGS... They could always plan a 'Special Edition' of Guns of the Patriots for the 360... After all... I believe they at least released a version of MGS2: Substance for the original Xbox. That, and Japanese companies are gravitating to the 360 already, generally.
 
Yes, the 60gig is the best deal out of all IF YOU CAN FIND ONE. The backwards compatibility is actually better than the 80gig. Which is the reason why Sony discontinued the 60gig because it was 'too good' and too costly for Sony to produce.

If you want backwards compatibility the only one that has it now that in production at the moment is the 80gig. Other two system that are out is the 40gig and the 20gig do not have backwards compatibility.

If you really want a 60gig then look for them on Amazon and ebay. There will be used, maybe new ones that are being auctioned.

As for FFXIII and MGS4. Well... Right there isn't even a release date for FFXIII. Probably will be out in 2009... Maybe 2010 for the US and UK. By that time, the PS3 will probably drop down in price.

As for MGS4... There was an article on IGN that there could be a possibility that Konami might release it on the Xbox 360 as well. Rumors, but hey, it happened to Assassin's Creed, and Konami have released games on the Xbox before. Who knows?
 
Like others have said, I'd go for the 60GB.

I'd love to go online and play my old PS1 and current PS2 games on it. Trouble is, it's waaaaay too much money.

It's like about £400 over here in the UK.
 
The 60GB has 'more functions' so you have your answer right there, even if they weren't great I would rather have them than not. But yeah go for the 60GB model.

As for MGS4 ad FFXIII I would highly doubt if any of the were released on the 360. Without a doubt 'spin-offs' of XIII will be released on the 360 but I know that XIII Versus is exclusive to the PS3

Getting a bit specific on the Versus project, Nomura continued, "It seems that the Versus team was, from the start, trying to get the full specifications out of the PS3, and that takes time. Just the other day, during a Versus meeting, a programmer asked, 'Is it okay to program with PS3 exclusivity in mind?'." I asked why, and he said, 'If we port it to other hardware, we have to program with that in mind.' I responded, 'Of course, Versus is PS3 exclusive.'"

and the same goes with MGS4 too, Kojima said that it would mean having to spend more money on research and additional staff to port it to the 360 so it would stay PS3 exclusive.
 
Get a 60GB version if you can find one, if not, the next best PS3 is the 80gb version.

As for FFXIII and Versus both are exclusive to PS3 as SE has stated so in the past. Also both PS3 versions are being made on the White Engine which was built with the PS3's specs in mind to fully utilize it, while they bought the license to use the Unreal Engine for multi-platform games. So porting FFXIII or Versus to the 360 would most likely cause them headaches due to the 360's dvd size and lack of hard-drive standard consoles.

MGS 4 is also exclusive to PS3; Hideo Kojima himself said such repeatedly. The latest rumor about it going to the 360 was shot down by Konami a few days ago. Besides that Konami tried releasing MGS games on different consoles to see how well they would sell: MGS 1 was ported to the Gamecube and didn't sell that well; MGS 2 was ported to the Xbox and bombed; and MGS 3 never saw the light of day on either the Xbox or Gamecube as Konami got the hint that majority of their MGS fanbase is on the Playstation.

WTF? I've never heard of the 80GB version before - is this a recent thing?
 
Heh, the 80gb version has been out longer than the 40gb has been. I think the 80gb version came out around June or July, though I'm not sure? Or maybe even August.

The 80gb has the emotion engine, or the graphics synthesizer removed from it, so not all PS2 games will work on it.

xD You don't read well, do you...? I said they will most likely switch over with lackluster sales FFXIII is a long shot for PS3, but as they game isn't out yet, they can still change plans. And Kojima did not DENY MGS 4 coming onto the 360. He said 'as for a Metal Gear Solid game for the Xbox 360, it is a possiblity', but definate plans for that are a 'blank page'. that doesn't say 'No, we're definately NOT releasing for 360' to me...

Besides, other 'exclusive' games have already gone multi-platform... Resident Evil 5, meant to be PS3 Exclusive, 360 as well. Devil May Cry 4, PS3 exclusive in all early reports, 360 as well. Assassin's Creed, meant for PS3, also on 360. GTA IV, Silent Hill 5 (by the same company as MGS, mind you) both PS3 exclusive in concept, now multiplatform. PS3 ONLY has FFXIII and MGS 4 going for it... And they may follow in these steps.

xD You don't listen very well do you...? Hideo Kojima and Konami have stated repeatedly for the last year and a half that MGS 4 is PS3 exclusive. No buts about it. If a MGS were to come out for the 360 it won't be MGS 4, nor will it be worked on by Hideo Kojima.

FFXIII will not see a release on the 360, no buts about that either. I don't know how this can be said any clearer, SE has made no hints that it will port it to the 360. One reason is the lackluster sales of the 360 in Japan compared to the PS3.

Reason why we see so many multi-platform games is because the cost of development for games this generation. Besides that, the PS3 doesn't only have FFXIII and MGS 4 for going for it, here's a small list off the top of my head:

Killzone 2
White Knight Story/Chronicles
Little Big Planet
Gran Turismo 5
inFamous
God of War 3
Resistance 2
Motorstorm 2
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Sequel
SOCOM: Confrontation

The sales of the PS3 will pick up, to think otherwise is just being ignorant. MGS 4 and FFXIII will move consoles, and should sell respectively on the PS3 without any thought of them needing to be ported. But the chances of those two titles being ported regardless is null when given the fact the developers have made no hints, or suggestions the games in question will be ported, but in fact denied heavily that they will be ported.

Wow... Out of all those, I'm only slightly interested in Killzone 2...

I never heard MGS 4 denied heavily for 360. Show me an article to such a degree, so I can read it myself... The most I've read was that Kojima was undecided as to whether he would do anything for the 360, not that it was a definite that he wouldn't do anything on the 360. And besides, developers DO lie. For example... Blizzard saying that they 'had no plans on Starcraft 2' and a month later revealing they've worked on it for two years. Another is 'we have no plans of remaking Final Fantasy 7' which is most definitely a false statement with Square-Enix extending the license another 8 years just recently.

So, even if you feel you have all the information, and feel you are 100% correct in all that you say, think about what companies may hide first...

However. If one feels they MUST buy a PS3, Go with 60+ gigs if you can afford it...

That's fine. I only listed the games I listed to show you that the PS3 didn't have just two exclusive games.

From April 5th, 2007:
Will Metal Gear Solid 4 remain PS3 exclusive?
To answer this question, Kojima, perhaps appropriately, equated the three next gen systems to a moviegoing experience.
"The PS3 is like the theatre, it's a little bit high-priced but it has to be high quality as well," he explained. "The 360 is a DVD, it still needs to be high quality but you need more variations, while the Wii is almost like a TV channel, because every game you have it with your family".
So how does this relate to PS3 exclusivity, you may ask? When the subject changed to Devil May Cry 4 going multiplatform, Kojima knew exactly where the conversation was going.
"[L]ike I said, MGS4 is aimed for the movie theatre, it's aimed for the PS3, so the game's scenario and graphics need this theatre-type hardware," Kojima responded. "It's when a producer has a game that can work on the 'DVD level' that a game will go multiplatform."

From January 3rd, 2008
TheGameReviews.com had the opportunity to speak with Konami’s PR about this latest rumor, and unsurprisingly, Konami is baffled by claims that Metal Gear Solid 4 is going multiplatform. In a rush to get the word out, it seems that those who broke the story talked to everyone except Konami, who made this statement "For the record, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a PlayStation 3 exclusive and there are no plans to develop an Xbox 360 version of the game." Nuff said..

When I said that MGS 4 being heavily denied being ported to the 360, I meant repeatedly.



And besides, developers DO lie. For example... Blizzard saying that they 'had no plans on Starcraft 2' and a month later revealing they've worked on it for two years.

I know developers lie, but not all lie in the same way, and some still tell the truth. Just because there are developers that do lie by saying one thing, and then later say otherwise doesn't mean it's ok to jump to conclusion and say specific companies will do the same. As far as I know I don't recall Konami saying one thing and than later contradict themselves; also I don't recall SE doing the same. If SE was planning on releasing FFXIII for the 360 they would've said so by now; just like they already announced The Last Remnant for the 360/PS3.

Also, just because SE extended the license of FFVII another 8 years is no indication that the remake is being made. There is no guarantee by that type of move, all anyone can do is speculate. Besides that, the people left at SE that worked on FFVII are tied up on FFXIII and Versus XIII.

Further, Konami and SE's denial of their respective games being ported to the 360 is doing nothing but hurting the 360's sales, while helping the PS3. The PS3's sales will increase from those that have yet to make the jump and are huge fans of those two games. Had these games been announced as multi-platform the 360's sales will be boosted in Japan and possibly give it some chance of gaining more support from Japanese developers.

So, even if you feel you have all the information, and feel you are 100% correct in all that you say, think about what companies may hide first...

I don't feel I have all the information, nor do I feel I am 100% on this. This is all speculation and opinion, just like you've been doing. While some companies may hide things, there are still some that are loyal to their fans and console companies where they've found the most success on.

So, again, if there was really any chance these two games were going to come out on the 360, it would be wise if it was mentioned by now instead of the constant denial, considering the popularity surrounding these two titles.

Savvy? ;)
 
Is there a list somewhere that someone could link me to which has the different models of the PS3s and which Playstation 2 games work on them? I can't remember where I originally found the list before - I know there is one somewhere though.

Do they still do updates though (More Playstation 2 games work etc?)
