My PS3 is a 60GB one. They got it because the shop-owner told em that the 60GB version handled backward compatibility with the PS2 and the PSX much better, while the 80GB one had built-in emulators for playing PS2 and PSX games...which could be a problem with some games (emulators cant play all games anyway).
I have played Motorstorm with it and the graphics and sound are impressive as heck. Since then I have got NFS: Carbon and Call of Duty 3 for it, and I was more than impressed with both of em. CoD 3's stunning visuals and technically enhanced sound will blow the brains off anyone sitting in front of the screen!
It came with a 2GB Memory Card which is more than sufficient to save game progress. I have watched some Blu-Ray titles on it and it plays them pretty smoothly. I noticed Blu-Ray disks are not much different than digitally encoded DVDs, although I m told that the difference is more apparent if you have a high resolution digital TV. Maybe our 29" isnt technically good enough to discern quality between a Blu-Ray and a DVD.
Its a kickass console, and it beats the pants off the XBox 360 and the Nintendo Wii! Too bad that the negative rumors circulating around have affected the sales of this machine...else it can be compared to a shiny, new superfast Ferrari among all the Chevys out there.:cool:
No probs yet, Cheebs. I ll be sure to drop you a PM if I come across any trouble or glitches. But into the 10th month of having the PS3, and I am totally satisfied with the Sony console par excellence.:)

You need a High Definition display to display high definition picture, so yeah you won't notice a difference because there won't be a difference other than maybe better color and sound.
I have a ps3, I use it solely for watching movies which is a shame because I wanted it to be for games aswell. I wish I had bought a 360
a) I think I prefer HD DVD, some bluray movies I have don't look as crisp as they ashould
B) way more games, better games. the only games that the ps3 have are ported (i.e crappier looking) versions of xbox 360 games. I was happy when ps3 got virtua fighter 5 exclusive, but now it'as coming out with the 360 with better graphics and online?
c) it's future doesn't look very bright to me, it's capable of better graphics than the xbox 360 but I don't see the system getting far enough to even see 80% of the systems capability.
Oh well atleast some really good games are coming out soon, Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero III, assassins creed, stranglehold. All these games are coming out for the xbox 360 at about the same time though aswell...
I can't be too upset with the ps3, I've never had any kind of problems with it or anything but I think if I might go down to walmart when the price goes to 350$, get the hd dvd addon on ebay, trade my bluray discs and sell the ps3.
