Rumorang: Retailer promotes 'new exciting PlayStation 3'

$350 is a beefy GPU, and not much else.

i have more than 350 to spend... but would go with some cheaper parts if i could get a PS3 for that price...

otherwise, all of it is going towards upgrades.

160gig is deff neccessary, you cant rip movies but you can buy them off the playstation store, along with t.v shows. i filled up my 40 rather quick and upgraded to a 320gig

not sure but i think 499.00 as far as space, i bought the 40 gb n swapped in a 160 off newegg dont need the 2 extra usb i put a hub on it n also dont need the card reader thats the only diffs between the 2 anyway i have 32 psn games n probably 15 - 20 game installs n i have 93 gb of space left. the size of intalls varies but doesnt usually go beyon 1-1.5gb. sometimes if i know i'm not going to play a certain game for a while i'll delete the install but save the game save file for it they r separate from each other. movies can be put on it yes but not off of a disk download n psn only or from a usb drive or external drive. i also have a 250 gb external drive i keep all my movies n shows on which i will probably need to be upgrading soon since its getting full. you can rip music from disk. so when it comes down to it if ur going to have everything on just the internal drive yes the space can be used up quite quickly with media but if u r just going to have psn games n installs it could last quite a while ive had my ps3 going on 2 yrsn i'm only using around 50 gb for games n installs

I've got the Uncharted bundle. The bigger the HDD, the better. With 19 games, media, etc I'm already using 97GB. For 499, because of Uncharted's GH status I can't recommend the bundle anymore. But for 399 or lower it's a steal. Unless you plan on upgrading the HDD imediately, go with the Slim or the Uncharted bundle.

ThAnks fellas.. Huge help.

My last question is how do you tell if it's BC? cause that's gonna be my major selling point. Does it say so on the back of the box or do you have to look up a SKU# somewhere or something?

@ Serpintine

I know it's tough, but don't be a jerk huh.. All I asked was if it states BC on the back of the box. Yes or no would suffice.

hahaha

Yeah, it's called a Playstation 3. If you want it to play games on your 360, just place on top.
