Which PS3 Is Ideal For You: 60GB, 80GB Or The New PS3 Slim 120GB?

Are you wanting to get your hands on the amazing gaming experience that is the PlayStation 3? What's stopping you? The expense? If that is the case then there's no real cause to worry because you can often find a PS3 sale close to you, if you know where to look.

In case you were wondering, the ideal spot to search for a PS3 sale could just as easily be the store pretty close by and not necessarily the place across the town or overseas. The grass is not always greener on the other side! You should keep a look out for end of season sales at your local electronics dealer.

Some online video game websites such as Amazon or eBay could also be offering the PS3 at a bargain sale price.  These are often the best deals that are up for grabs so do check them out.

However wherever you decide to purchase from a further crucial question remains. With now 3 commercially available models of the PS3 with drive capacities of 60GB, 80GB and 120GB each, it's sometimes difficult to choose. When you have found that great PS3 sale price then you must still select between the 3 models and choose wisely too.

If you want to play your classic PlayStation2 titles on your new system then you might choose to go for the 60GB machine. You can enjoy all your classic titles here because it is totally backwards compatible with PS2 games as well, thanks to a function called the 'Emotion Engine' application.

In contrast, whilst the 80GB model holds the software processing technology from the PS2 the absence of compatible hardware means that only a handful of your classic titles will be usable, which probably won't matter too much if you still have your original PS2 system.

A standard difference between the PS3 60GB and PS3 80GB models is the presence of 4 or 2 USB ports meaning that these are able to be linked up with numerous external media outlets simultaneously. But what might eventually make you go for a 60GB PS3 sale is its price if you are lucky enough to find one below that of the 80GB model. However Sony discontinued distribution and production of the 60GB model in 2008. As a result, they're in much higher demand and harder to find and on most sites are usually more expensive than the 80GB model. Therefore, make a grab for any 60GB PS3 offer you can find if you'd like one providing the price is right for you.

For folks who want your games console to double up as a Computer then do go for the 80GB machine as it can be equipped with a Linux operating system so transforming into your 'alternate PC'!

In order to snatch the ultimate PS3 sale for yourself, you should have a look into your own needs and most significantly your wallet. For the majority of video game fans the PS3 80GB offering is the best option as it's high on features and these days pretty gentle on the purse.

Alternatively you should definitely check out the newly released Playstation 3 Slim 120 GB which is currently priced at a bargain $299! This has some super features which you can read about in our reviews page for this model. It is right up to date with the latest features, higher capacity, and that could certainly be your best option of all.
