    yeah its nice, like a normal browser. for some reason it makes me have left and right scrolls and cant just fit the width to the screen. thats about the only thing i dont like about it. can that be changed?? other than that if you have the wireless board and mouse its nice

    haha yeah....right. good luck, check ebay. or bizrate.com has some good deals sometimes. http://www.bizrate.com/playstationco...__sfsk--3.html

    has for everyone wanting the 60gb over the 80gb, is that just because its cheaper?? or does the 60gb have something the 80gb doesnt?

    hell no....i love my 60gb....i could use the extra gigs, but 80gb uses a emulator to play backwards compatible games.....60gb uses built-in hardware for that....so on the 80gb, you can only play a limited number of ps2/ps titles....

    Since you are picking up a ps3 instead of a desktop you should probably just find a 150GB 2.5" SATA hard drive for like $100 on newegg.com or ebay. It just pops right in a few minutes, reformat the drive, and after all is said and done you have 150GB on your PS3 for the price of the 80GB ps3

    dont even need to do that
    u can get 300 + gb external usb HD's for 100 or under and just plug that in via usb to the ps3

    cheaper + more storage

    then you can also take it to a pc load all ur music, videos, etc etc and take it tot he ps3 intead of doing it over the network

    that's a good option too

    OR

    You can upgrade the internal HDD and get an external usb HD and have well over 500GB to play with
