Just a quick reminder to let everyone know that the 250GB PlayStation 3 is available now in North America. The package runs $349 and crams a console, 250GB hard drive, controller and composite AV cables into the box. As the more astute readers have no doubt realized, the only thing different from the 120GB model is the 250GB hard drive. Still, as Gaming Bits points out, that's more than twice the storage for an extra $50 over the $299 model.
Of course, with Black Friday sales just a few weeks away, you might consider waiting to see what deals will be available before taking the plunge.

at $349 that's a pretty damn good deal!

That's my thinking too. I'm thinking about getting this one because while I have a 60gb launch model, I like that this has lower power consumption and I think I've read it's not as loud too.

Not going to a Black Friday event again. People are disgusting and it's scary to think of what they'd do if there was an actual crisis occurring.

Amazon should be your friend then. Generally better video game deals and don't have to deal with assholes and douchebags.

I think he meant crises such as fist fights, shootings, stampedes, trampling etc.

Here's a deal: Pay about $50 for a 500GB 2.5" SATA drive. 8D
Probably might happen at places like Fry's. But not anywhere else.

Even though my 80GB (motorstorm bundle...now w/ 500GB) is still running fine, I feel complelled to get a new PS3 just incase something happens. I have fixed the ylod for three friends now, and the fix seems to be needed ever other month or so.

Can't have a cheaper PS3 without a more expensive version with a larger HDD. I'll consider this one when the holidays come round.
