what about YOU gamers who still haven't taken the next-generation plunge? To help welcome YOU into the next-gen. gaming and the PlayStation fold, there will be not one but two Metal Gear Solid PS3 bundles. The limited edition bundle includes the 40GB PS3 finished in gun metal gray, the new DualShock 3 rumble controller, and--of course--a copy of the game. Also onboard are a CD soundtrack and an "exclusive Blu-ray Disc" with a behind-the-scenes documentary. That limited-run model is only available via Konami's Web site, and will cost a whopping $600.
Thankfully, a far better alternative will be available: the "PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid 4 Pack". That $500 version includes the premium 80GB PS3 model (in the standard basic black), which offers the flash card reader and backward compatibility with PS2 games (both absent in the 40GB PS3 included in the Konami model). The box also includes the DualShock 3 rumble controller, Metal Gear Solid 4 game (sans documentary and CD), and a voucher for a free download of the Pain minigame from the PlayStation Store.
Thanks to the always-enthusiastic collector market--and the exclusive availability--the $600 limited edition bundle will likely be all but impossible to find. No matter--for the rest of us, the mainstream $500 model is the far better choice anyway: for $100 less than the limited edition bundle, you're getting the better PlayStation model, the most anticipated PS3 exclusive to date, the new rumble controller, and one of the most entertaining PS3 minigames thus far. It sounds like a good deal all-around
I would like to hear your thoughts on what you think about the new ps3 bundles. what you think about the future of the system and what you dont like about it so far.
The 20/60GB features everything the 80GB model does and has one key advantage: the Emotion Engine.
The Emotion Engine is the brains behind the PS2. The 60GB PS3s have one built in, the 80GB version does not. This means that the 60GB version of the PS3 is fully backwards compatible with PS2 and PSone games. The 80GB version is only partially so. Both PS3s have built in WiFi and flash card readers, allowing you to transfer photos, videos, and music easily to the PS3.
The 80 GB PS3 is approximately 80% backwards compatible, meaning that 1 in 5 PS2/PSone games will not work on it. Sony has alluded to the fact that firmware updates available via download or game discs. That means compatibility with older PS2 games is handled via software emulation. As such, the 80GB PS3 will still play the vast majority of PS2 & PS1 games but won't approach the near 100 percent compatibility offered by the older PS3 models. so If you only care about new games or have limited ps2/1 games this is the version to get. (Check out the PlayStation Web site to check the title-by-title compatibility.)
All versions of the PlayStation 3 are solid performers. The 60GB version is my overall pick due to the fact that it does everything the 80GB version does and plays more PlayStation 2 and PSone games WITHOUT firmware downlods.
If you don't care about older PlayStation games then the 80GB version comes with a bigger hard drive and a free game and new rumble joy stick.
The 40gb has no backwards compatibility
For those of you with the 20/40/60gb ps3 even the 80gb ps3 and want more hard drive space, up to 500gb. heres a link on how to change your hard drive on your ps3.

lol yeah the $600 price tag and a few selective games in the beginning. I had to wait for the price cut. So when it hit $299 that was when to act on it
i got the mgs4 bundle last year, its the best version of the ps3 to me, got 4 usb ports, all the chrome and stuff and it plays ps1.2 games. i swapped out the 80gig drive for a 320gig though.
The 60 gig is better than the MGS4 as far as backwards compatibility. other wise they are the same. The 60 gig actually has a emotion engine in it(actual ps2) and plus every ps2 disc and reads all online capabilities. The MGS4 (which i have) only emulates. my cuzin has a 60 gig and... it even works my Gameshark disc... im jealous
dude wtf are u talking about think about this if u got a 360 when it first came out what was it like $400 well $400 plus $50 for 6 years (thats how long i think this gen is gunna be were already 4 years into it tho) so $50 for 6 years is another $300 so $700 and sony knew that so they just said okay lets make this easy and make the online free and just make the consoles $600...so sonys the good guy but now there both $299 so :p
wow a guy comes out of no where with a random comment like ps3 sucks but he brings nothing to prove that it dose suck?? so then if i was to say a rock transformed into a tiger... with no video are proof would u belive me? LOL why dose it suck?? it has great games like uncharted2 resistance 1 2 and soon enough 3 motorstorm grand trismo killzone and so much more lol
