Do we really need a 320GB PS3?

So wait, these can still use external 3rd party drives, yes? If so, than I can't imagine needing to pay through the nose for all that extra space up front, when I see drives popping up on slickdeals once in a while that are 2tb and under $99. I wish MS would allow that, but they're shortsighted and greedy when it comes to their SKU builds. I'm still using an old core, I've more than amply filled the drive, but can use a memory stick or two, far cheaper than a MS HDD. Pathetically overpriced, those things.
Only reason to buy the 320GB one is if the rumoured $350 160GB Move bundle doesn't come about and you're interested in Move. Then you might as well get the 320GB one with Move and pay the same as you would for the 160GB with it, and 320GB will last you longer so by the time you need to upgrade there'll be 2TB hard laptop drives.Mornelithe said:
Wow, same here, except I'm sort of running out of room. I need to get rid of some videos and uninstall some games, since two years' worth of mandatory and optional installs can really pile up.TimeLord said:
Then again, upgrading to 1TB sounds pretty appealing... What a time to be alive!
I would enjoy it if they started releasing ps2 games and ps3 games on demand on Playstation store. then you need the disk space
Yep, and only then would you need that much space.Your once and future Fanboy said:
I had a 60gb PS3 for nearly 4 years, and me and this dude bought countless games on our shared profile, and even when my PS3 died, I had over 10GB HDD space left.
Old PS1 games. Specifically, RPGs. I was a little shocked myself, but I should have guessed, if it came on 4 discs, it was probably pretty sizeable. I had to buy a new memory stick for my PS3 to even fit them.s69-5 said:
I had the default memory stick that came with my PSP, 2Gbs I think.
I'm contemplating putting my old laptops 250Gb hard drive in my PS3, I think it's really cool that you can do that and don't have to rely on the company to release a bigger hard drive.

I'd get the 320 if I could afford it, I have quite a few movies and stuff on my PS3 and I use it for media and games, so the HDD gets eaten up
My laptop only holds 200GB, and despite all the music, videos, games, personal projects (mainly writing projects), and general accumulated rubbish that's on here, it's only now starting to get below 10GB free. An that's after I've had the laptop for about two years.
Thus, for a game console that won't hold anywhere near as much data and information as my laptop does, 320GB seems a bit excessive. The only thing it'll be really useful for is HD 3D gaming, or whatever comes along next at least...

You can download a lot of games from the PSN, a lot of full games. So far I have Socom (even though I have the disc) and I plan to get more, it's really convenient to just flip through games like my PSPGo, and I support DD for games. It also lets you store all your music and tons of videos on your PS3. just boot that baby up and have fun gaming, listening to music or watching movies.
