I like my PS3, but I haven't played mine in a while because I have been playing PC games. Overall I like the format better and it does pretty much everything a 360 does and just a little better. Such as the free online game play, no subscription necessary. The have also added achievements now which has many game developers releasing updates to their games to support them.
I would recommend one that is backwards compatible, because not all of them are. Mine is an 80GB and I haven't had any problems with it yet.

yea i cant figure it out sony is discounting some and not others. the new 160 gb is not suppose to be backward compat.
Example at toysrus.com the 40gb is the same price as the 80gb both new i dont get it.
i do think sony is going to cut out the backwards compat in all models. thats what rumors are implying

or buying a used one with 2 controllers and bluetooth remote, and a cooling system for the ps3. with purchase paperwork. bought in 2/24/2008 so its still under warranty 375 $
both models are 80 gb.

you might have to go to toyrus and see what model numbers they have. see what batch of ps3's the have. usually ones in the same batch have the exact same hardware and software. at least thats how companys used to do it.

yea, the only reason i am possibly buying from toysrus is because of the no payments for 90 days
