If you can find a 40Gb PS3 for $70 or less than an 80GB unit, that would be the better buy since a 160GB drive would cost you about $70 anyways.

Unfortunately, the backwards compatible PS3's sell for a premium used these days with 60GB units netting upwards of a $100 over the price of the non-BC units.

If that's the case and you can't find one for at least the same price as an 80GB unit, you're better buying a new unit and saving the difference for a new PS2.

Yeah I was hoping to get the 3 and have my cake and eat it too backwards compatable and blue ray and all... I fear I may end up having to buy a new PS2 slim and then get a PS3 later... I think finding a 60GB unit is going to be a challange..

Now are you saying getting a 40Gb for cheap if I can and then use an external hard drive of my choice with it??
